Crossfit Level 1 Additional Terms And Definitions

Rhabdomyolysis *Medical condition that may arise from the breakdown of muscle cells contents in to the bloodstream. *develops from high intensity or high volume exercise or any other process that damages muscles. Symptoms of Rhabdomyolysis Generalized muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, and dark red urine 3 on 1 off Allows for a relatively higher volume of high intensity work *athlete works at near highest intensity for 3 days but by day 4 both neuromuscular function and anatomy are broken down to the point of exhaustion Midline stabilization Control of the major body axis High quality foods Best source of both macro and micronutrients *eating this in known quantities are the most important tenets of nutrition for improved performance and health Diet to avoid sickness Meats, vegetables, nuts, seeds, some fruit, little starch, no sugar *optimizes physical performance Hyperinsulinemia The chronic and acute elevation of insulin as a result of habitual consumption of excess carbohydrates Relationship of practice to mechanics and technique As you develop better technique and control at high speeds, your power output will increase Technique The mechanism by which potential human energy and strength are translated into real work capacity Power curve The area under which your work capacity across broad time and modal domains Health 3 dimensional model that measures fitness across age and has the potential to both redefine and untie health and fitness fields forever *sustained fitness Aerobic pathways Low power and lasting in excess of several minutes *decreases muscle mass, strength, speed, and power Anaerobic pathways Moderate to high power and lasting less than several minutes *benefits cardiovascular function and decreases body fat *dramatically improves power,speed, strength, and muscle mass Oxidative Distance *work = 120-300 seconds *recovery= 120-300 seconds *recovery ratio = 1:1 *interval reps = 3-5 Glycolitic Mid-distance *work = 30-120 seconds *Recovery= 60-240 *recovery ratio = 1:2 *interval reps =10-20 Phosphagen Sprint *work=10-30 *recovery= 30-90 *recovery ratio = 1:3 *interval reps = 25-30 Accuracy The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity Balance The ability to control the placement of the body's center of gravity in relation to its support base Agility The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another Coordination The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement Speed The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement Power The ability of a muscular unit or combination of muscles to apply maximum force in minimum time Flexibility The ability to maximize the range of motion at any given joint Strength The ability of a muscular unit or combination of muscles to apply force Stamina The ability of body systems to process, deliver, store, and utilize energy Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance The ability of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen Sickness-wellness-fitness continuum Everything we can measure about health will conform to this graph. *different measures of health Energy systems Measures time, power and consequently energy systems *phosphagen *glycolytic *oxidative The Hopper Fitness requires an ability to perform well at all tasks, even unfamiliar tasks, tasks combined in infinitely varying combinations *focused on breadth and depth of performance 10 general physical skills Endurance Stamina Strength Flexibility Power Speed Coordination Agility Balance Accuracy *evaluates our efforts against a full range of general physical adaptations
