Define CrossFit - A core strengthen program made up of constantly varied high intensity functional
movements
Articulate Characteristics of functional movements: Natural - They are natural, effective, & efficient
locomotor of body & external objects; most important they move large loads over long distances
quickly.
Articulate Characteristics of functional movements: Universal Motor Recruitment Patterns - universal
motor recruitment patterns:
movements that mimic motor recruitment patterns found in everyday life
Articulate Characteristics of functional movements: Essential - universal motor recruitment patterns:
essential because the soundness & efficacy of functional movements are so profound that exercising
without them is by comparison a colossal waste of time
Safe - Functional movements are safe because they are mechanically sound
Compound yet Irreducible - Compound/multi-joint movements are functional
High-Power Producing - Power is the definition of intensity; increases in strength, performance,
muscle mass, & bone density all arise in proportion to the intensity of exercise; Power development
is an ever-present aspect of CrossFit workout
Identify the most important characteristic of functional movements - most important characteristic
of functional movements is that they move large loads over long distances quickly
Define & calculate work - ability to perform real physical work
,Force Distance/time = power
Define & calculate power - ability of a muscular unit to apply max force in minimum time; time rate
of doing work; force x distance =time; time rate of doing work.
Understand how relative changes in force, distance & timing change power output -
Describe intensity & how it is related to power - Power is the definition of intensity; increases in
strength, performance, muscle mass, & bone density all arise in proportion to the intensity of
exercise; Power development is an ever-present aspect of CrossFit workout
Articulate the difference between specialization & CrossFit - Capacity culled from the intersection of
all sports demands would quite logically lend itself well to all sport. In sum, our specialty is not
specializing.
What is fitness: Articulate CrossFit's definition of fitness & health & explain their relationship -
CrossFit holds "fitness," "health," and
"athleticism" as strongly overlapping constructs; fitness & health are the same thing.
fitness, wellness, and pathology (sickness) are measures of the same entity: your health.
Define the 4 supporting models of CrossFit's definition of: General physical skills - General physical
skills are cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed,
coordination, agility, balance, & accuracy
Define the 4 supporting models of CrossFit's definition of: The hopper - The hopper is performing
well at any & all imaginable task
Define the 4 supporting models of CrossFit's definition of: Metabolic pathways - Metabolic pathways
are pathways that provide energy for all human action
Define the 4 supporting models of CrossFit's definition of: Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum -
Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum is every measurable value of health
Identify how each model could be used to assess fitness & to determine the fittest individual:
General physical skills - you are as fit as you are competent in each of the 10 general physical skills
, Identify how each model could be used to assess fitness & to determine the fittest individual: The
hopper - by your capacity to perform well at fitness tasks compared to other people
Identify how each model could be used to assess fitness & to determine the fittest individual:
Metabolic pathways - requires competency in phosphagen pathway, glycolytic pathway, oxidative
pathway
Identify how each model could be used to assess fitness & to determine the fittest individual:
Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum - Fitness is super-wellness

3. strength 4. flexibility 5. power 6. speed 7. coordination 8. agility 9. balance 10. accuracy
Identify & define the 10 general physics skills: 1. cardiovascular & respiratory endurance - 1.
cardiovascular & respiratory endurance - the ability of body systems to gather, process, & deliver
oxygen
Identify & define the 10 general physics skills: 2. stamina - 2. stamina - ability of body systems to
process, deliver, store & utilize energy
Identify & define the 10 general physics skills: 3. strength - 3. strength - the ability of a muscular unit
or combo of muscular units to apply force
Identify & define the 10 general physics skills: 4. flexibility - 4. flexibility - the ability to maximize the
range of motion at a given joint
Identify & define the 10 general physics skills: 5. power - 5. power - the ability of a muscular unit or
combo of muscular units to apply maximum force in minimum time
Identify & define the 10 general physics skills: 6. speed - 6. speed - the ability to minimize the time
cycle of a repeated movement
Identify & define the 10 general physics skills: 7. coordination - 7. coordination - the ability to
