CFL Module 5 Exam Questions with 100%
Correct Answers.
Intensity
Relative to power & essentially the same, increase in strength, performance, muscle mass, and
bone density all arise in proportion to the intensity of the exercise.
Define CrossFit
Constantly varied, high intensity, functional fitness
Work
The capacity to perform and use energy. Force x Distance.
Power
The most important characteristic of a functional movement; the time rate of work; an athletes
ability to go hard and fast. Comprised of load,distance and speed
Variance
The depth and breadth of the workouts. Constantly changing movements and intesnity
Physical Preparedness
The ability to physically handle anything life throws you. Prepared for the unknown through
variance
"Failing at the margins of your experience"
The idea that an athlete is only as good as what he knows - beyond their experience they are
likely to fail
CrossFit Fitness
-A diet that supports exercise but not body fat
- Practice the major lifts, master basic gymnastic movements, engage in metabolic conditioning
-Mix these above elements in as many different combinations as possible
, 10 General physical skills
cardio, stamina, strength, flexibility, accuracy, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance
Hopper Model
The true test of variance - the notion that any athletic task could be pulled out and the athlete
would be physically able and equipped to successfully perform the task
Metabolic Pathways
-Phosphocreatine: anaerobic, 100% short sprint
-Glycolytic: anaerobic, 70%, medium time
-Oxidative: aerobic, 40%, long time of effort >120s
Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum
Correlation between health markers and "good" numbers and fitness. The more fit someone is the
better the health markers are.
Anaerobic vs Aerobic
Anaerobic: energy is used in the absence of oxygen, less than 2 minutes in duration with
moderate to high intensity (glycolytic /lactate and phosphocreatine pathways)
Aerobic: long term metabolic conditioning lasting longer than 120s where oxygen is utilized -->
oxidative pathway
Power Curve
Tracking the difference in time between workouts = changes in power (force x distance/time) A
faster time in the same workout = more power produced by the athlete. Helps determine ones
fitness
Evidence Based Fitness
CrossFit's success is that it produces results that are measurable, observable and repeatable. The
data used is based on efficacy, safety and efficiency.
