In what two distinct senses is CrossFit a core strength and conditioning program?
1) The fitness developed is foundational to all other fitness needs. The “stuff” everyone needs.
2) CrossFit is a “core” strength and conditioning program in the literal sense meaning “the center of something”. Much of the work focuses on the major functional axis of the human body, the extension and flexion of the hips and torso/trunk.
What is necessary and by itself nearly sufficient for elite athletic performance?
powerful hip extension
Good functional movements recruit muscle from the … to …
core to extremities
Can you enjoy optimal health without being an athlete? Explain.
No. Athletes experience a protection for the ravages of aging and disease that non-athletes never find - greater bone density, stronger immune systems, less coronary heart diseases, and less depression.
What is the Merriam Webster Dictionary definition of an athlete?
“a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility, or stamina.”
What is the CrossFit definition of an athlete?
“a person who is trained or skilled in strength, power, balance and agility, flexibility, and endurance.”
CrossFit holds that “fi..”, “he..”, and “athleticism” are strongly overlapping constructs, seen as “…”
