COMBINED} Q&A | UPDATED PASSED TESTS
Define CrossFit
Accurate Answer: constantly varied functional movement executed at high intensity.
Define and Calculate Work:
Accurate Answer: The ability to perform real physical work as measured by; force x distance
Define Hyperinsulinism:
Accurate Answer: A medical condition caused by insulin resistance.
Characteristics of Functional Movements:
• Natural
• 2. UMRP: Universal motor recruitment pattern. (found everywhere)
• 3. Essential: for quality of life, living independently, to do everyday things.
• 4. Safe
• 5. Compound yet irreducible (mutiple joints)
• 6. Core to extremity.
Define and Calculate Power:
Accurate Answer: The time rate of doing work; intensity; force x distance./time
Functional Movements;
• large loads-- force
• long distances-- distance(or reps)
• quickly—time
, •
Intensity
Accurate Answer: Power; is the independent variable most commonly associated with
maximizing the rate or return . The greater/higher the intensity the better the results.
Most important characteristic of functional movements
Accurate Answer: Their capacity to move large loads over a long distances, quickly.
Crossfit Methodology
Accurate Answer: Safety, efficacy and efficiency most important facets to elevate fitness can be
supported by measurable, observable and repeatable data. "Evidence based"
Constantly Varied:
• Exposure to a program that is broad general and inclusive.
Factors to vary:
✓ loads
✓ 2. distance
✓ 3. time
✓ 4 equipment.
✓ Being prepared for the unknown and unknowable.
✓
What is GPP and it's definition:
Accurate Answer: General Physical Preparedness: Being prepared to run and weightlift better
than someone who only runs or only weightlift.
Ex: broad, general and inclusive and variance creates this general condition which prepares you
for the unknown.
Failing at the margins of your experience relating to variance in CF
, Accurate Answer: Constant variance prepares you at your margins of experience to prevent
failure at margins of experience
Specialization vs CrossFit
Accurate Answer: Specialization in one sport and being great in one activity only vs Crossfit that
will make you good in all activities.
Crossfit definition of fitness and health and their relationship
Accurate Answer: Fitness is work capacity across broad time and modal domains. and health is
work capacity across broad time and modal.domains throughout your life.
What are Crossfits Four -4- Models for evaluating and guiding fitness:
✓ The 10 General Physical Skills
✓ 2. The Hopper
✓ 3. The Metabolic Pathways
✓ 4. Sickness and Wellness Continuum
And to be considered fit is to be good at all 4 modals of fitness.
Define The 10 Physical Skills
You are as fit as you are competent in each of these 10 Skills:
• Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance (gather, process and deliver oxygen)
• 2. Stamina (process, deliver, store and utilize energy)
• 3. Strength (muscular unit, apply force)
• 4. Flexibility (maximize ROM of a joint)
• 5. Power(applying maximum force in minimum time)
• 6. Speed (minimize time cycle of a repeated movement)
• 7. Coordination (combine several patterns into a singular movement)
• 8. Agility (minimizing transition time)
• 9. Balance (control the body center of gravity)
• 10. Accuracy ( controlling movement in any direction at anytime)
