Define CrossFit
constantly varied functional movement executed at high intensity.
Characteristics of Functional Movements:

  1. Natural
  2. UMRP: Universal motor recruitment pattern. (found everywhere)
  3. Essential: for quality of life, living independently, to do everyday things.
  4. Safe
  5. Compound yet irreducible (mutiple joints)
  6. Core to extremity.
    Define and Calculate Work:
    The ability to perform real physical work as measured by; force x distance
    Define and Calculate Power:
    The time rate of doing work; intensity; force x distance./time
    Functional Movements;
    large loads– force
    long distances– distance(or reps)
    quickly–time

Intensity
Power; is the independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing the rate or return
. The greater/higher the intensity the better the results.
Most important characteristic of functional movements
Their capacity to move large loads over a long distances, quickly.
Crossfit Methodology
Safety, efficacy and efficiency most important facets to elevate fitness can be supported by
measurable, observable and repeatable data. “Evidence based”
Constantly Varied:
Exsposure to a program that is broad general and inclusive.
Factors to vary:

  1. loads
  2. distance
  3. time
    4 equipment.
    Being prepared for the unknown and unknowable.
    What is GPP and it’s definition:
    General Physical Preparedness: Being prepared to run and weightlift better than someone who
    only runs or only weightlift.
    Ex: broad, general and inclusive and variance creates this general condition which prepares you
    for the unknown.

Failing at the margins of your experience relating to variance in CF
Constant variance prepares you at your margins of experience to prevent failure at margins of
experience
Specialization vs CrossFit
Specialization in one sport and being great in one activity only vs Crossfit that will make you
good in all activities.
Crossfit definition of fitness and health and their relationship
Fitness is work capacity across broad time and modal domains. and health is work capacity
across broad time and modal.domains throughout your life.
What are Crossfits Four -4- Models for evaluating and guiding fitness:

  1. The 10 General Physical Skills
  2. The Hopper
  3. The Metabolic Pathways
  4. Sickness and Wellness Continuum
    And to be considered fit is to be good at all 4 modals of fitness.
    Define The 10 Physical Skills
    You are as fit as you are competent in each of these 10 Skills:
  5. Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance (gather, process and deliver oxygen)
  6. Stamina (process, deliver, store and utilize energy)
  7. Strength (muscular unit, apply force)
  8. Flexibility (maximize ROM of a joint)
  9. Power(applying maximum force in minimum time)
  10. Speed (minimize time cycle of a repeated movement)
  11. Coordination (combine several patterns into a singular movement)
  12. Agility (minimizing transition time)
  13. Balance (control the body center of gravity)
  14. Accuracy ( controlling movement in any direction at anytime)
    The Hopper
    Is loaded with as many skills and drills from many different sports. and the implication is that
    fitness requires an ability to perform well at all drills, even unfamiliar tasks combined in
    infinitely combinations.
    Metabolic Pathways
    3 Metabolic ways to provide energy to the body
  15. Phosphagen (quick)– Anerobic(atp wothou oxygen)
  16. Glycolytic (quick but not fast)– Anerobix
  17. Oxidative (long time)–aerobic(arp with oxygen)
    Sickness and Wellness
    The sick, well, and fit continuum can be plotted. There is a sick side, well is in the middle, and
    the right side is fit. if all your numbers are on the right if you if you do get sick you have a better
    chance of getting well sooner.

Crossfit Level 1 Exam Questions and
Answers 100% Pass
What is the main goal of Crossfit? ✔✔To increase an individual’s competency and abilities at all
physical tasks
What are the 10 fitness domains Crossfit can improve? What are their definitions? ✔✔-
Cardiovascular endurance: Ability of a body system to gather, deliver, and utilize oxygen

  • Stamina: Ability of body processes to process, deliver, store, and utilize energy systems
  • Strength: Ability of a muscle joint, or multiple muscular units, to apply force
  • Flexibility: Ability to maximize ROM at a given joint
  • Power: Ability of a muscle unit, or multiple muscular units, to apply force over time
  • Speed: The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement
  • Coordination: Ability to combine several movement patterns into a distinct movement
  • Agility: ability to minimze transition time from one movement pattern to another
  • Balance: Ability to place center of gravity in relation to base of support
  • Accuracy: Ability to control movement in a given direction at a given intensity

How is Crossfit different from typical training approaches? ✔✔Crossfit utilizes high-intensity
compound movements and workouts that are geared to increase overall athletic performance.
More holistic than specialized isolated exercise
What are the main exercises and training practices at Crossfit? ✔✔Metabolic conditioning,
gymnastic movements, olympic lifts, some isometric movements, and sports activities
What does “Core Strength and Conditioning Program” Mean? ✔✔2 senses of the word Core:

  1. The workouts and exercises of crossfit are the core backbone of any athletic endeavor
  2. It’s literally exercising for your core (abs) and the functional axis of the body
    In Crossfit’s view, why is there so much disease? ✔✔They believe that fitness and health are
    about the same thing. There are 3 types of ways your health can be: Sick, normal, or above
    normal. If your athletics are above normal, your amount of health will be above normal and your
    chance of sickness and disease will be low
    What is the optimal training frequency and duration in Crossfit? ✔✔Anywhere from 45 minutes1 hour 5-6 days a week. Additional time isn’t necessary if your training is high-intensity. More
    training and practice per day could be spent on specific skills for sports
