Articulate CrossFit’s definition of fitness
|
Increased work capacity over broad time and modal domains. Functional capacity in all different types of movements at a variety of durations of effort, throughout your life. If you are increasing this broad work capacity, you will be competent at both short bursts of activity and extended, longer workouts.
|
|
Define the 4 supporting models of this definition:
10 General Physical Skills |
1. Cardio-vascular and cardio respiratory endurance |
|
Define the 4 supporting models of this definition
The Hopper |
The hopper is statistical and is a measure of an athlete performing relatively well at any physical task thrown his way. |
|
Define the 4 supporting models of this definition
Metabolic Pathways |
There are 3 pathways: Phosphogen (10-30 sec, 1:3, 25-30 reps) Glycolytic (lactate) (30-120 sec, 1:2, 10-20 reps) Oxidative (aerobic) (120-240 sec, 1:1, 3-5 reps) |
|
Define the 4 supporting models of this definition
Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum |
Sickness, wellness & fitness are different measures of the same quality - health.
|
|
Identify how each model could be used: Assessing Fitness |
CrossFit's 3 fitness standards: - You are as fit as you are competent in each - Fitness is about performing well at any and every task imaginable (unfamiliar tasks, tasks - Total fitness, the fitness that CrossFit promotes and develops, requires competency and training in each of the 3 metabolic pathways or engines. |
|
Identify how each model could be used: Determine the fittest individual |
A person skilled in all 3 standards (10 skills, performing well at any and every task, competent and training in each of the 3 metabolic pathways) |
|
Identify how each model could be used:
Describing the goals of a fitness program |
large loads, long distances, quickly
|
|
Articulate how the Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum model relates health to fitness |
Health is sustained fitness and wellness is not being sick. |
|
Differentiate training from practice and the adaptations developed under both |
Practice improves the neuro skills which improves technique |
|
Identify and articulate the time domains of the 3 Metabolic Pathways |
Phosphogen (10-30 sec) Glycolytic (lactate) (30-120 sec) Oxidative (aerobic) (120-240 sec) |
|
Define and differentiate aerobic training and pathway |
Aerobic means energy is derived when oxygen is utilized to metabolize substrates from food and liberates energy. Greater than 90 seconds in duration and involve low to moderate power or intensity = distance running |
|
Define and differentiate anerobic training and pathway |
Anaerobic means energy is liberated from substrates in absence of oxygen. Activities less than 2 minutes involve moderate to high power & intensity = 100m sprint. |
|
Describe the Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum
|
Sickness, wellness & fitness are different measures of the same quality - health.
|
|
Articulate how the Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum model relates health to fitness |
Health is sustained fitness and wellness is not being sick. |
|
Define work capacity |
Work capacity is the ability to perform |
|
Identify and interpret the power curve |
Fitness can be graphed in two-dimensions with duration of effort on the x-axis and power on the y-axis. At each duration, we average your power capacity across a variety of modal domains (skills and drills). This creates a power curve, the area under which is your work capacity across broad time and modal domains (aka fitness). |
|
Explain the goal of the CrossFit program in relation to the power curve |
Your ability to move large loads, long distances, quickly, in the broadest variety of domains is fitness. And the ability to sustain that fitness throughout your life is a defining measure of health. |
|
Explain how work capacity is illustrated by the power curve |
Fitness can be graphed in two-dimensions with duration of effort on the x-axis and power on the y-axis. At each duration, we average your power capacity across a variety of modal domains (skills and drills). This creates a power curve, the area under which is your work capacity across broad time and modal domains (aka fitness). |
|
Explain CrossFit’s definition of health |
This three-dimensional graph is a defining measure of health. Health, therefore, is nothing other than sustained fitness. |
|
Explain the deficiency of using definitions such as “in shape” or “the absence of disease” for fitness and health, respectively
|
In shape is not measurable. Absence of disease is not a measure of fitness.
|
|
Explain the relationship between fitness and health as defined by CrossFit
|
Health is sustained fitness. Fitness is and should be “super-wellness.” Sickness, wellness, and fitness are measures of the same entity - health.
|
|
Explain the concepts of measurable, observable, and repeatable and how they lend themselves to CrossFit being an evidence based fitness rogram |
The methodology that drives CrossFit is entirely |
