Define CrossFit
|
Constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movements
|
|
Define Variance
|
Preparing for random physical challenges -the unknown and unknowable events; by the use of very different loads, time domains and movements.
|
|
Define general physical preparedness (GPP) and identify the relationship of variance between GPP
|
GPP = broad, general and inclusive and variance creates this general condition which prepares you for the unknown
|
|
Explain the concept of 'failing at the margins of your experience' and how it relates to GPP and variance
|
Constant variance prepares you at your margins of experience to prevent failure at margins of experience
|
|
Articulate the difference between specialization and GPP
|
GPP is random and broad; specialisation is focussing on specific skills
|
|
Identify common pitfalls of confusing specialization with GPP
|
Specialization creates “fringe athletes” in that their fitness demands are so specialized as to be
inconsistent with the adaptations that give maximum competency at all physical challenges. |
|
Define Intensity
|
Intensity = Power (force x distance / time).
Intensity is the independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing favorable adaptions to exercise |
|
What are the 7 defining characteristics of Functional Movement
|
natural, universal motor recruitment patterns, essential, safe, compound yet irreducible, core to extremity, high power producing
|
|
define Natural
|
involves the movement of multiple joints for every activity
|
|
define Universal Motor Recruitment Patterns
|
movements found in everyday life
|
|
define Essential
|
necessary for independent living, quality of life, and inhibits increpitude
|
|
define Safe
|
mechanically sound; safe post 1 max rep
|
|
define Compound Yet Irreducible
|
you cannot breakdown the movement into individual movements and get the same benefit
|
|
define Core to Extremity
|
midline stabilization that you maintain while you move
|
|
define High Power Producing
|
load, distance, speed
|
|
Identify the definitive characteristic of functional movements
|
move a large load a long distance & quickly
|
|
Articulate the descriptive characteristics of functional movements
|
squat, dead lift, push press
|
|
Define and calculate work
|
Ability to perform real physical work as measured by force x distance
|
|
Define and calculate power
|
time rate of doing work or force x distance/time
|
|
understand how relative changes in force, distance and time change power output
|
i.e. - 100lbs moved 20ft in 1min = 2000lb*ft/min.
i.e. - 100lbs moved 20ft in 10min = 200lb*ft/min. i.e. - 10lbs moved 20ft in 1min = 200lb*ft/min. |
|
Describe how power is related to intensity
|
Power = intensity
|
|
Articulate the relationship between intensity and results related to fitness goals
|
Intensity brings results
|
