ANSWERS(A+)
,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
