Technique Flashcards
Demonstrate proper movement mechanics, identify common faults, and apply corrective strategies to improve technique and efficiency. (19 cards)
What is the quantification of fitness?
It is the measurement of work capacity across broad time and modal domains.
By quantifying fitness, we are able to measure success, progress, and push each other towards our goals.
What are the three meaningful components to analyze a fitness program?
- Safety
- Efficacy
- Efficiency
What does efficacy in a fitness program refer to?
It refers to the tangible results and adaptations induced by the program.
How is efficiency defined in the context of a fitness program?
It is the time rate of achieving adaptations.
What does safety measure in a fitness program?
It measures how many individuals safely complete the program.
What is the correct sequence for implementing CrossFit programming according to Coach Glassman?
- Mechanics
- Consistency
- Intensity
What four terms are commonly used for the qualification of movement?
- Mechanics
- Technique
- Form
- Style
What is the definition of technique in movement?
It is the method for successful completion of a movement.
How does technique relate to safety, efficacy, and efficiency?
Proper technique can maximize safety, efficacy, and efficiency in movement.
What is the relationship between technique and power?
Power is the successful completion of functional movement, which relies on technique.
What is threshold training in CrossFit?
It is the iterative process of increasing speed while reducing errors.
What is the significance of mistakes in learning high-speed techniques?
Mistakes are an unavoidable consequence of development and necessary for improvement.
What should be prioritized when speed starts to compromise technique?
Fixing the technique at the higher speed.
Why is technique considered crucial in athletic performance?
Technique is at the heart of quantification and necessary for expressing power effectively.
Define:
style
The unique implementation of a movement that is tied to an individual.
Technique should stay consistent, but may be performed with a slightly different style.
How does technique relate to efficiency?
Without proper technique, workouts will be inefficient and a minimal amount of work will be completed.
What are four qualifications of movement?
- Technique
- Form
- Mechanics
- Style
True or False:
You can’t have proper technique and a high speed of completion at the same time.
False
Once technique is mastered, speed can improve as well. It is possible to move quickly and maximize speed without losing proper technique.
Define:
threshold training
An iterative process of improving both technique and speed.
It may come with mistakes, but that’s why the process is iterative!
