What Is Crossfit? Flashcards
Define CrossFit’s Prescription
Functional Movements
What is CrossFit?
***CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program
Constantly Varied Functional Movements executed at High Intensity
Characteristics of functional movements
Natural, universal motor recruitment patterns, essential, safe, compound yet irreducible, core to extremity, high-power producing
Identify the most important characteristic of functional movements
Their capacity to move large loads over long distances, and to do so quickly
Define work
Ability to perform real physical work
Calculate work
Force x Distance
Define Power
Power = Intensity
Calculate Power
Force x Distance(work) / Time
How do relative changes in force, distance and time change power output?
?
What are the two types of intensity?
Absolute Intensity, Relative Intensity
How is intensity related to power?
High intensity = Power
What is the relationship between intensity and results?
Intensity is where the results come from. Intensity must be relative to each individuals physical and physiological capabilities.
Define variance
***Broad, general, inclusive
Define General Physical Preparedness (GPP)
Is used to establish a broad foundational fitness level that then can be converted and applied throughout a wide range of tasks
Explain the concept of “failing at the margins of your experience”
