What is Crossfit? - CORRECT ANSWER constantly varied, high-intensity,
functional movement
What is power? - CORRECT ANSWER the time rate of doing work
What is the most important characteristic of functional movement? - CORRECT
ANSWER Capacity to move large loads over long distance (high power producing)
What are the characteristics of functional movement? - CORRECT ANSWER
natural, universal motor recruitment patterns, essential, safe, compound yet irreducible,
core to extremity, high power producing.
Describe intensity - CORRECT ANSWER Intensity is defined exactly as power.
High intensity allows for shorter, high cardio sessions.
What is the relationship between intensity and results? - CORRECT ANSWER
Intensity is the independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing the
rate of return of favorable adaptation to exercise. Intensity and and functional
movements are more effective at creating results.
What is variance? - CORRECT ANSWER Variance means unknown and
unknowable events. The model we offer allows for wide variance of mode, exercise,
metabolic pathway, rest, intensity, sets, and reps.
What are the four supporting models of Crossfit's definition of fitness. - CORRECT
ANSWER The 10 general physical skills; The Hopper; The Metabolic Pathways;
Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum.
What are the 10 general physical skills? Why is this model important in defining fitness.
- CORRECT ANSWER stamina, balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, speed,
power, agility, cardiovascular respiratory endurance, and accuracy. You are as fit as
you are competent in each of these skills.
What is The Hopper Model? Why is this model important in defining fitness? -
CORRECT ANSWER Random tasks to accomplish; The implication here is that
,fitness requires an ability to perform well at all tasks, even unfamiliar tasks, tasks
combined in infinitely varying combinations.
What are the Metabolic Pathways? Why is this model important in defining fitness? -
CORRECT ANSWER They provide energy; They are Phosphocreatine, Glycolytic,
and Oxidative. A fit person should be competent in all pathways.
Describe the Phosphocreatine Pathway. - CORRECT ANSWER Anaerobic
(absence of oxygen); 10 second intervals; 100 meter dash.
Describe the Glycolytic Pathway. - CORRECT ANSWER Anaerobic (absence of
oxygen); 120 second intervals; 400 meter sprint.
Describe the Oxidative Pathway. - CORRECT ANSWER Aerobic (uses oxygen);
more than 120 seconds; mile run.
What is the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum? Why is this model important in
defining fitness? - CORRECT ANSWER Every measurable value of health will fall
somewhere on this continuum. Fitness (crossfit) provides protection against the ravages
of time and disease.
What's the difference between training and practice? - CORRECT ANSWER
Training refers to improving the 10 general physical skills (I think) whereas practice
refers to sport specific skills.
How does the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum relate to health? - CORRECT
ANSWER sickness, wellness, and fitness are different measures of a single quality:
health.
Define the power curve. - CORRECT ANSWER The area under which is your work
capacity across broad time and modal domains (your "fitness").
What is work capacity? How is work capacity illustrated in the power curve? -
CORRECT ANSWER One's fitness at a certain time in one's life. (I think) I think it's
illustrated by time, age, and power.
What is technique? - CORRECT ANSWER Proper technique is the mechanism by
which potential human energy and strength are translated into real work capacity.
What are the three macronutrients in our diet? Give an example of each. - CORRECT
ANSWER Protein - meat
Carbohydrates - broccoli
Fat - Butter
, What's crossfit's definition of health? - CORRECT ANSWER health is defined as
work capacity across broad time and modal domains throughout life. sustained fitness.
Describe the roles of hormones, like insulin and glucagon, for blood sugar control -
CORRECT ANSWER Insulin regulates the sugar in our blood.
Articulate the effects a highly refined and processed carbohydrate diet can have on
health - CORRECT ANSWER It can lead to increased insulin levels.
Define hyperinsulinemia - CORRECT ANSWER Hyperinsulinemia is the chronic
and acute elevation of insulin as a result of habitual consumption of excess
carbohydrate.
Articulate the dangers of chronically elevated insulin levels. - CORRECT ANSWER
Elevated insulin levels can lead to coronary disease, cancer, and Alzheimers
Identify the diseases that make up the "Deadly Quartet" and the biggest risk factor for
developing those conditions - CORRECT ANSWER (obesity, glucose intolerance,
high blood pressure, high triglycerides), and coronary heart disease, he claims, are
avoidable through dietary means.
Identify the recommended diet for avoiding sickness - CORRECT ANSWER Stay
away from processed foods which increase insulin production. Zone Diet.
Identify the CrossFit recommendation for optimizing performance - CORRECT
ANSWER The Zone Diet is what takes optimizes performance.
Articulate the benefits of eating high quality foods and a "Paleo" diet - CORRECT
ANSWER Modern diets (processed foods) are ill suited for our genetic makeup. Lack
of processed foods decreases your chances for diseases such as coronary heart
disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, obesity, and psychological dysfunction
Articulate the benefits of weighing and measuring foods - CORRECT ANSWER
concluded that natural variances in caloric intake and macronutrient composition without
measurement are greater than the resolution required to turn good performance to
great. have to measure.
Articulate the primary benefit of fish oil supplementation - CORRECT ANSWER
research has indicated supplementation can improve insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular
function, nervous-system function, immune health, memory, and mood issues
- CORRECT ANSWER
