What is Crossfit
Constantly varied, high intensity functional movements
Define functional movements
Functional movements are universal motor recruitment patterns that are performed in a wave of contraction from core to extremity AND they are compoundinf movements (multi-joint)
Define Intensity
Intensity is Power which is the independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing the rate of return of favorable adaptation to excercise.
What are the most important and interdependent facets to evaluating a fitness program.
Safety, efficacy and efficiency which is supported by measurable, observable and repeatable data.
Define Virtuosity in gymnastics
Performing the common uncommonly well.
Define Goal
A specifically desired end state, expressed in the posititive tense, which provides motivation and direction on the path to achievement.

Just Oxidative
What are three waves of adaptation to endurance training?
- Increased maximal oxygen consumption
- Increased lactate threshold
- Increased efficiency
