CrossFit Exam Q & A 2024 With Complete Solution "Extension" is - increasing the angle of a joint "Flexion" is - reducing the angle of a joint 10 General Physical Skills - Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance Stamina Strength Flexibility Power Speed Coordination Agility Balance Accuracy 2 Important factors regarding functional movements - 1. Functional movements are mechanically sound and therefore safe. 2. They are the movements that elicit a high neuroendocrine response. 4 Models of evaluating and guiding fitness - 1. The 10 General Physical Skills 2. The Hopper Performance of athletic tasks 3. Energy Systems 4. Health Markers as a measure of fitness Absolute Strength - An all out effort of predetermined reps. 1RM The maximum force an athlete can exert with their whole body, or part of the body, irrespective of body size or muscle size Accuracy - The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity. Agility - The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another. Air Squat points of performance - Lumbar curve maintained maintain the arch in the back • Weight on heels • Depth below parallel (full range of motion) • Knees track over feet look straight ahead Air Squat violations - LAZY LUMBAR CURVE, OR LOSING IT (I.E., "BUTT WINK") WEIGHT SHIFTS FORWARD TO BALLS OF FEET NOT LOW ENOUGH. KNEES ROLL IN TRAIN WRECK SQUAT: INABILITY TO MAINTAIN LUMBAR CURVE, STAY ON HEELS, AND GET TO DEPTH ALL AT THE SAME TIME. IMMATURE SQUAT: LUMBAR CURVE IS MAINTAINED, DEPTH MIGHT BE THERE, AND HEELS ARE IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND, BUT THE ATHLETE HAS TO CANTILEVER FORWARD EXCESSIVELY ONTO THE QUADS TO MAINTAIN BALANCE. Balance - The ability to control the placement of the bodies center of gravity in relation to its support base. Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance - The ability of the body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen. Consistency definition - That you are consistent in performing the mechanics of the movement; and that you are consistent in CrossFit workouts. Coordination - The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement. Core to extremity definition - Functional Movements begin with a strong core. The movement then transfers energy to the extremities and do not "isolate" muscles Cross training? - exceeding the normal parameters of the regular demands of your sport or training CrossFit - Is constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity CrossFit increases? - work capacity across broad time and modal domains. CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program in what two distinct senses - Develops a foundation to all other athletic needs and focuses on the major functional axis of the human body. (the extension and flexion, of the hips and extension, flexion, and rotation of the torso or trunk).
