L1 Flashcards
Why is CrossFit a “core”
strength and conditioning program?
CrossFit endeavors
to develop athletes from the inside out, from core to extremity
What’s CrossFit ?
constantly varied, high-intensity functional movement
Three most important and interdependent facets to evaluate any fitness program
measurable, observable, repeatable data(evidence based fitness approach)
What are the 10 fitness domains
cardiovascular/respiratory endur- ance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy.
Definition of athlete
person who is trained or skilled in strength, power, balance and agility, flexibility, and endurance.
Energy is derived____when oxygen is utilized to metabolize substrates de- rived from food and liberates energy.
aerobically
Energy is derive _______ when energy is liberated from substrates in the absence of oxygen
anaerobically
What are the two Olympic lifts
the clean and jerk and the snatch.
Definition of Neuroendocrine adaptation
a change in the body that affects you either neu- rologically or hormonally.
What’s power?
time rate of doing work.in simple words hard and fast
What’re FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS
movements that mimic motor recruitment patterns that are found in everyday life.
The CrossFit dietary prescription is
Protein should be lean and varied and account for about 30 percent of
your total caloric load.
• Carbohydrates should be predominantly low-glycemic and account for
about 40 percent of your total caloric load.
• Fat should be from whole food sources and account for about 30 percent
of your total caloric load.
According to the zone diet, what would I eat ?
base your diet on garden vegetables (especially greens), meats, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar
Type of food that raise blood sugar too rapidly
High-glycemic carbohydrates
What is Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance
The ability of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen.
What’s Stamina
The ability of body systems to process, deliver, store, and utilize energy
What’s strength
The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply force.
What’s flexibility
The ability to maximize the range of motion at a given joint.
What’s speed
The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement
What’s coordination
The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement.
What’s agility
The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another.
What’s balance
ability to control the placement of the body’s center of gravity in relation to its support base.
What’s accuracy
ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity.
What’s training
activity that improves performance through a mea- surable organic change in the body
