, Definition of Crossfit constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement
(also known as Crossfits prescription)
What is functional movement load, distance, and speed for production of high power
Define intensity power
(intensity is the independent variable)
Crossfit methodology: 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: cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed,
coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy
Define athlete a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring
physical strength, agility, or stamina
Define Crossfit athlete a person who is skilled or trained in strength, power, balance, and agility,
flexibility, and endurance
How is energy derived? aerobically when O2 is utilized to metabolize substrates derived from food and
liberates energy
Aerobic activity: 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: 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: phosphagen and glycolytic (lactic acid)
2 Olympic lifts: 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: increased in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and human growth hormone
Adaptive responses to exercises capable of producing a mass and bone density
significant neuroendocrine response:
Power time rate of doing work; also the definition of intensity
What is associated with high neuroendocrine response? heavy load weight lifting, short rest between sets, high heart rates, high intensity
training, short rest intervals
