CrossFit is distinctive if not unique in…

A

It’s focus on maximizing neuroendocrine response, developing power, cross-training w multiple modalities, constant training and practice w functional movements and the development of successful diet strategies

Q

CrossFit dietary prescription

A
  • Protein should be lean and varied and account for about 30% of total caloric load
  • Carbohydrates should be predominantly low-glycemic and account for about 40% of total caloric load
  • Fat should be from whole food sources and account for about 30% of total caloric load

25
What should I eat?
Garden vegetables (especially greens), meats, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar.
26
CrossFit’s 4 models for evaluating and guiding fitness.
1) The 10 general physical skills 2) Performance of athletic tasks (The Hopper) 3) the energy systems 4) Health markers
27
10 general physical skills
1) Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance 2) Stamina 3) Strength 4) Flexibility 5) Power 6) Speed 7) Coordination 8) Agility 9) Balance 10) Accuracy
28
Improvements that come through training.
Endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility
29
Improvements through practice
Coordination, agility, balance, accuracy.
30
Adaptations of BOTH training and practice.
Power and speed
31
Phosphagen (phosphocreatine) Time domain? Anaerobic or aerobic? Relative power output?
Short, ~10sec Anaerobic Maximum intensity efforts
32
Glycolytic (Lactic) Time domain? Anaerobic or Aerobic? Relative power output?
Medium, ~120sec Anaerobic Medium-high intensity
33
Oxidative Time domain? Anaerobic or Aerobic? Relative power output?
Long, >120sec Aerobic Low-intensity efforts
34
The key to developing the cardiovascular system without an unacceptable loss of strength, speed and power
Interval training
35
We can control the dominant metabolic pathway conditioned by...
Varying the duration of the work and rest interval and number of interval reps
36
Phosphagen intervals
10-30sec of work 30-90sec of rest W:R 1:3 25-30x
37
Glycolytic intervals
30-120sec of work 60-240sec of rest W:R 1:2 10-20x
38
Oxidative intervals
120-300sec work 120-300sec rest W:R 1:1 3-5x
39
Tabata interval
:20 work :10 rest 8x
40
Three waves of adaptation to endurance training
1) Increased maximal oxygen consumption 2) Increased lactate threshold 3) increased efficiency We avoid the 3rd, too activity specific
41
Theoretical hierarchy of development
``` /\ Sport —— Weightlifting & Throwing ——————— Gymnastics ———————————— Metabolic Conditioning ———————————————— Nutrition ————————————————————- ```
42
Routine is the enemy of...
Progress and broad adaptation
43
Power (equation)
f * d —— t (Force x distance) / time
44
Fitness is..
Work capacity across broad time and modal domains
45
Evidence-based fitness
Measurable, observable, repeatable data is used in analyzing and assessing a fitness program.
46
The 3 meaningful components to analysis of a fitness program
Safety Efficacy Efficiency
47
Efficacy of a program
What is the return?
48
Efficiency
Time rate of the adaptation
49
For the qualification of movement there are 4 common terms....
1) Mechanics 2) technique 3) form 4) style
50
Mechanics
The physics of movement and especially the statics and less so the dynamics.
51
Technique
The method to success for completion of a movement.
52
Form
Is the normative value: This is good, this is bad - applied to mechanics and technique.
53
Style
An athletes signature to a movement
54
Maximizes the work completed for the energy expended
Technique
55
Strength is...
The productive application of force
56
Threshold training
The iterative process of letting the scope of errors broaden then reducing them without reducing the speed
57
Kinetic theory of health
The singular focus on kinematics—increasing work capacity, increasing your fitness— is how to avoid chronic disease.
58
When determining movement substitutions consider:
1) lower or upper body 2) function (push vs pull) 3) RoM (specifically of the hips, knees and ankles) 4) The plane of movement
59
Does the warmup...
- Increase the body’s core temp? - Prepare the athletes to handle the I tenacity of the WOD? - Allow the coach to correct movement mechanics needed in the WOD? - Allow the coach to assess capacity for scaling modifications? - Offer skill development and refinement?
60
Does the workout...
- Include a description of RoM standards - Include scaling options that are appropriate for all athletes in the class? - Allow athletes to reach their relative level of intensity? - Challenge the athlete’s current level of fitness? - Include corrections of movement mechanics under high-intensity?
61
Does the cool-down...
- Allow the heart and respiratory rate to slow and the athlete to regain mental acuity? - Allow the athlete to record workout performance to track progress? - Prepare the gym for the following class? - Take advantage of remaining time for recovery practices, additional skill refinement, and/or education?
62
Air Squat
- Maintain the arch in the back - Look straight ahead - Keep weight on heels - Reach the full RoM (below parallel) - Keep the chest high - Keep the midsection tight
63
The ultimate core exercise, the heart of the snatch and peerless in developing effective athletic movement?
Overhead squat
