Technique

Question 1

Define Technique

Answer 1

The movement and/or positions used to accomplish the task – QUALITY OF MOVEMENT

Question 2

How does technique affect work accomplished and energy expended

Answer 2

Technique maximizes the work completed for the energy expended. The best technique is able to do the most amount of work with the least energy spent.

Question 3

What is the relationship of coordination, accuracy, agility and balance to practice and technique?

Answer 3

these are the 4 physical skills that with practice you get better at and the do a nuerological change

Question 4

What is the relationship of technique to optimize results

Answer 4

Good technique gives you a productive application of force

Question 5

What is the relative demand on the neurological system as load increases?

Answer 5

heavier the weigh, the more neurological the movement and less margin of error

Question 6

Define strength

Answer 6

The productive application of force

Question 7

What is the difference between CF’s definition of strength and the traditional definition?

Answer 7

traditional is around the muscular contractile force but in CF what matters is the productive application of force.

Question 8

Define threshold training

Answer 8

The iterating process of letting this scope of errors broaden then reducing them without reducing the speed

Question 9

Define threshold speed

Answer 9

The speed at which you can work without missing the technique

Question 10

Explain how to use threshold training as a tool for practicing and improving technique while maximizing intensity

Answer 10

You will learn to work at higher intensity with good technique only by ratcheting up the intensity to a point where good technique is impossible. First at that speed you fix the technique, continuously and constantly advance the margins at which form falters.

Question 11

Articulate why threshold training is inextricably bound to optimizing results

Answer 11

?

Question 12

Know how to apply threshold training within a workout

Answer 12

When form is good keep increasing the speed until its not and then narrow down the scope

Question 13

What are the factors included in the charter?

Answer 13

mechanics, consistency, and intensity

Question 13

Describe how to optimize safety, efficiency, and efficacy in applying CrossFit to clients

Answer 13

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).

Question 14

What are the three meaningful components to analyze a fitness program?

Answer 14

Safety, Efficacy, & Efficiency

Question 15

What does Efficacy mean?

Answer 15

“What is the return?” We want to increase work capacity across broad time and modal domains.

Question 16

What does efficiency mean?

Answer 16

“How long is it going to take?” Efficiency is the time rate of that adaptation.

Question 17

What does safety mean?

Answer 17

“What is the risk involved?” Safety is how many people end up at the finish line.
