Definition of Crossfit ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓constantly varied, high
intensity, functional movement
(also known as Crossfits prescription)
What is functional movement ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓load, distance,
and speed for production of high power
Define intensity ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓power
(intensity is the independent variable)
Crossfit methodology: ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓safety, efficacy, and
efficiency
(the 3 most important and interdependent facets to evaluate any fitness
program, can be supported only by measurable, observable, repeatable
data)
10 fitness domains of Crossfit: ~CORRECT
ANSWER~✓✓cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength,
flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy
,Define athlete ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓a person who is trained or skilled
in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility, or
stamina
Define Crossfit athlete ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓a person who is skilled or
trained in strength, power, balance, and agility, flexibility, and endurance
How is energy derived? ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓aerobically when O2 is
utilized to metabolize substrates derived from food and liberates energy
Aerobic activity: ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓are usually greater than 90
seconds in duration and involve low to moderate power output or intensity
Ex: running on treadmill for 20 min, swimming a mile, watching TV
Anaerobic activity: ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓energy is liberated from
substances in the absence of O2; these activities are of less than 2 min in
duration and involve moderate to high power output intensity
Ex: 100 m sprint, squatting, pull ups
Anaerobic systems: ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓phosphagen and glycolytic
(lactic acid)
2 Olympic lifts: ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓clean and jerk and snatch
, (they train athletes to activate more muscle fibers more rapidly more than
through any other modality of training; develop an athletes explosive
power, control of external objects, and mastery of critical motor
recruitment patterns)
Hormonal responses vital to athletic development: ~CORRECT
ANSWER~✓✓increased in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and
human growth hormone
Adaptive responses to exercises capable of producing a significant
neuroendocrine response: ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓mass and bone
density
Power ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓time rate of doing work; also the
definition of intensity
What is associated with high neuroendocrine response? ~CORRECT
ANSWER~✓✓heavy load weight lifting, short rest between sets, high heart
rates, high intensity training, short rest intervals
Cross training vs Crossfit ~CORRECT ANSWER~✓✓cross training is
participating in several sports and Crossfit views cross training as
exceeding the normal parameters of the regular demands of your sport
training
