Q

Identify and interpret the power curve:

A

Fitness can be graphed in two-dimensions with duration of effort on the x-axis and power on the y-axis. By graphing your average power capacity across a variety of domains (skills & drills) you create a power curve that represents your ‘fitness’. By adding age as the z-axis, the power curve takes three dimensional shape and defines your health or sustained fitness.

Q

Explain how to use threshold training as a tool while maxing speed:

A

Perfect technique and mechanics cannot be sustained at maximum output. Maximum output cannot be achieved without good technique and mechanics. This conundrum is resolved by ramping up the intensity until the mechanics start to degrade, at which point the athlete should refocus on the mechanics while sustaining as much intensity as possible. Done properly, this practice leads to improved mechanics at higher and higher levels of intensity.

Q

Articulate intensity as a charter:

A

Intensity is the independent variable most commonly associated with the rate of return on favorable adaptation; intensity brings about all the good results from working out. Slow and gradual increase in intensity , after consistency of good mechanics, acclimates the body to perform at higher intensity and higher level of exercise.

Q

Define and differentiate safety, efficiency, and efficacy in relation to evaluating a fitness program and applying to clients:

A

Safety - what are the risks involved
Efficacy - what am I going to get out of it
Efficiency - how long is it going to take

Proper movements (safety) will allow you to lift more weight, perform more repetitions faster, or both (efficiency). More work in less time means higher average power; higher intensity. Higher intensity means better results (efficacy).

Q

Primary benefits of fish oil supplementation:

A

Dramatically reduces inflammation resulting in weight loss, improved blood chemistry & better overall health

55
Q

Define Core Strength and Midline Stabilization:

A

Core strength refers to the use of stabilizer muscles to setup for the movements that occur with the larger muscle groups. Midline Stabilization is the capacity to maintain neutral spine (resist flexion of spine or hyperextension of the trunk/back) under load. Deviation from neutral spine sets the athlete up for potentially less function and less force generation

56
Q

Articulate the benefits of the GHD foundational exercises:

A

Develops kinesthetiic awareness / body control
develops communication/language of flexion, extension
not training under load builds athletic confidence; think mechanics, consistency, then intensity.

57
Q

Primary roles of abdominals:

A

Crossfit is a strength and conditioning programthat is highly effective in achieving results. … With CrossFit, the goal is general physical preparedness, so that you can do what life demands of you.

58
Q

Primary muscles of the core:

A

abs
erectors
hip flexors

59
Q

Define flexion and extension about a given joint:

A

Flexion- decrease angle of joint
Extension- increase angle of joint

60
Q

Foundational GHD exercises and how to perform them:

A

Hip extension - Posterior position, hip in front of the pad, allows full ROM hip flexion/extension; dynamic hips, static trunk.

Back extension - Posterior position, hip on pad, full ROM is intentional loss of lumbar curve, 1 vertebrae at a time down stops @ hip, then back up; static hips, dynamic trunk.

Hip/Back extension - Posterior position, hip in front of pad, full ROM is intentional loss of lumbar curve, 1 vertebrae at a time down including opening the hips, then reverse back up; dynamic hip & trunk

GHD Sit-up - anterior position, hip in front of pad; incrementally develop ROM & capacity to parallel (spotter if necessary) then into full ROM past parallel - bent knee descent, then explosive hip extension; sharply straighten knee w/ quadriceps/hip flexors

61
Q

Describe a progression for the GHD sit up:

A

Start with a AB mat then reintroduce the GHD machine only going to 1/2 extension, until better core strength is developed

62
Q

Describe how to scale the foundational GHD exercise to any athlete:

A

initialy just hold in superman position. Then lower few inches until comfortable and slowly increase ROM.

63
Q

The goal of Crossfit programming:

A

To increase fitness & GPP by blending structure and flexibility.

64
Q

Define and give examples of the 3 major movement modalities:

A

M = metabolic conditioning or “cardio” to build stamina; run, bike, swim,row, jump rope
G = gymnastics, bodyweight exercises to improve body control; air squat, pull-up, pushup, sit-up
W = weightlifting, powerlifting and olympic lifts to increase strength and power; deadlifts, cleans, snatch

65
Q

Define and give examples of common workout formats:(scheme’s and prioritoes)

A

schemes-
-single modality; rest is long and deliberate, focus is on improvement of the element not total metabolic effect
-couplet modality; task is priority, elements are moderate to high intensity and work-rest management is critical.
-triplet modality; time priority, challenge is repeating cycles not difficulty of individual elements.

priority - task or time based

66
Q

How to measure an increase in power workouts:

A

an increase in power is measured by reducing the time to complete the task.
time priority - AMRAP- moderate/high intensity; work/rest interval management is critical; an increase in power is measured by an increase in cycles.

67
Q

Identify the scope of movements used in programming;(functional movements)

A
  • mono structural; run, bike, swim,row, jump rope
  • gymnastics; air squat, pull-up, pushup, sit-up
  • weightlifting; dead lifts, shoulder press, cleans
68
Q

Identify the factors that can be varied (most important), and how to variance to workouts:

A

Variance in programming movements, load, and time are the most important. Variance can also be achieved by modifying rest, intensity, reps, duration, and rounds.

Changing of modalities or workout structure applies variation to exercise programming.

69
Q

Understanding movement functions and redundancy-demonstrate-

A

as the number of elements increases from one to two to three, the workout’s effect is due less to the individual element selected and more to the effect of repeated efforts.

70
Q

Understanding the goal of scaling and how to scale workouts for all populations:

A

CrossFit workouts are always scalable; by intensity, load, and/or exercise substitution.

DIANE

Original
For time:
Deadlift 225lbs - Handstand pushups
21-15-9 reps

Modified
For time:
Deadlift 50lbs - Dumbbell shoulder press 10lbs
21-15-9 reps

71
Q

The purpose of rest day and when they should be programmed:

A

With continuous high intensity training both neuromuscular function and anatomy are hammered to the point where continued work becomes noticeably less effective and impossible without reducing intensity; recovery is needed. Typical CrossFit programming is 3 on 1 off, or 5 on 2 off.

72
Q

Identify how one assess an effective program:

A

By recording benchmark workouts an overall power output can be proven to increase.

73
Q

Can you call yourself “certified” with the CF-L1 Certificate?

A

No, that is for Level Three Coaches and above.

74
Q

Define rhabdomyolis and it’s most causes and common symptoms:

A

Rhabdomyolysis is a medical condition that may arise when muscle tissue breaks down and the contents of muscle cells are released into the bloodstream. Common causes are high intensity exercise, victims of crushing accidents / electrocutions, severe bee sting allergies, and massive infections. Mygloben is a marker and does damage. Also creatine kinase is elevated.

Severe generalized muscle pain
nausea / vomiting
abdominal cramping
in severe cases, dark red “Coca-Cola” urine

75
Q

When should a client be referred for medical treatment:

A

If your urine looks dark red, like Coca-Cola, that’s a sign that you have myoglobin in your kidneys and you need to get to the hospital immediately.

76
Q

Identify the purpose of rest days and how and when they should be programmed

A

With continuous high intensity training both neuromuscular function and anatomy are hammered to the point where continued work becomes noticeably less effective and impossible without reducing intensity; recovery is needed. Typical CrossFit programming is 3 on 1 off, or 5 on 2 off.

77
Q

What factors that affect athlete safety:

A

Equipment condition: correct installation and day to day maintenance. Professional assistance may help.

Arrangement: the layout of the equipment and making sure each athlete has the correct space for workout. A dry run from trainer would help.

Athletes should be informed how to safely bail from any lift. And how to spot other athletes.

78
Q

Crossfit recommendation for hydration:

A

Drink when you are thirsty. Half your body weight in ounces.

79
Q

What is hyponatremia?
