What are the four supporting models of Crossfit's definition of fitness.
The 10 general physical skills; The Hopper; The Metabolic Pathways; Sickness-
Wellness-Fitness Continuum.
What are the 10 general physical skills? Why is this model important in defining
fitness.
stamina, balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, speed, power, agility,
cardiovascular respiratory endurance, and accuracy. You are as fit as you are
competent in each of these skills.
What is The Hopper Model? Why is this model important in defining fitness?
Random tasks to accomplish; The implication here is that fitness requires an
ability to perform well at all tasks, even unfamiliar tasks, tasks combined in
infinitely varying combinations.
What are the Metabolic Pathways? Why is this model important in defining
fitness?
They provide energy; They are Phosphocreatine, Glycolytic, and Oxidative. A fit
person should be competent in all pathways.
,Describe the Phosphocreatine Pathway.
Anaerobic (absence of oxygen); 10 second intervals; 100 meter dash.
Describe the Glycolytic Pathway.
Anaerobic (absence of oxygen); 120 second intervals; 400 meter sprint.
Describe the Oxidative Pathway.
Aerobic (uses oxygen); more than 120 seconds; mile run.
What is the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum? Why is this model important
in defining fitness?
Every measurable value of health will fall somewhere on this continuum. Fitness
(crossfit) provides protection against the ravages of time and disease.
What's the difference between training and practice?
Training refers to improving the 10 general physical skills (I think) whereas
practice refers to sport specific skills.
How does the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum relate to health?
sickness, wellness, and fitness are different measures of a single quality: health.
Define the power curve.
The area under which is your work capacity across broad time and modal domains
(your "fitness").
What is work capacity? How is work capacity illustrated in the power curve?
, One's fitness at a certain time in one's life. (I think) I think it's illustrated by time,
age, and power.
What is technique?
Proper technique is the mechanism by which potential human energy and
strength are translated into real work capacity.
What are the three macronutrients in our diet? Give an example of each.
Protein - meat
Carbohydrates - broccoli
Fat - Butter
What's crossfit's definition of health?
health is defined as work capacity across broad time and modal domains
throughout life. sustained fitness.
Describe the roles of hormones, like insulin and glucagon, for blood sugar
control
Insulin regulates the sugar in our blood.
Articulate the effects a highly refined and processed carbohydrate diet can have
on health
It can lead to increased insulin levels.
Define hyperinsulinemia
Hyperinsulinemia is the chronic and acute elevation of insulin as a result of
habitual consumption of excess carbohydrate.
