1. What is Crossfit? constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement
2. What is power? the time rate of doing work
3. What is the most important charac- Capacity to move large loads over long distance (high
teristic of functional movement? power producing)
4. What are the characteristics of natural, universal motor recruitment patterns, essen-
functional movement? tial, safe, compound yet irreducible, core to extremity,
high power producing.
5. Describe intensity Intensity is defined exactly as power. High intensity
allows for shorter, high cardio sessions.
6. What is the relationship between Intensity is the independent variable most commonly
intensity and results? associated with maximizing the rate of return of favor-
able adaptation to exercise. Intensity and and function-
al movements are more effective at creating results.
7. What is variance? Variance means unknown and unknowable events. The
model we offer allows for wide variance of mode, exer-
cise, metabolic pathway, rest, intensity, sets, and reps.
8. What are the four supporting mod- The 10 general physical skills; The Hopper; The Meta-
els of Crossfit's definition of fitness. bolic Pathways; Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum.
9. What are the 10 general physical stamina, balance, coordination, flexibility, strength,
skills? Why is this model important speed, power, agility, cardiovascular respiratory en-
in defining fitness. durance, and accuracy. You are as fit as you are com-
petent in each of these skills.
