CrossFit L1
Strength is... - ANS...the productive application of force.
Qualification of movement include: - ANSmechanics, technique, form and style
Three meaningful components to analysis of a fitness program - ANSsafety, efficacy, efficiency
Power = - ANS(Force * Distance)/Time
Safety - ANSHow many people end up at the finish line
Efficacy - ANSWhat is the return? What are the tangible results?
Efficiency - ANSThe time rate of the adaptation; the time it takes to achieve the desired or
promised result
Technique - ANSThe method to success for completion of a movement
Form - ANSThe 'should' or 'should not' applied to mechanics and technique
Mechanics - ANSAngular velocity, momentum, leverage, origin or insertion of muscles, torque,
force, power, relative angles; the physics of movement
Style - ANSThe signature to a movement; unique to the athlete
Hyperinsulism is at the root of the "deadly quartet" - ANSupper body obesity, glucose
intolerance, hypertroglyceridemia, and hypertension
Insulin is the normal and essential response to the ingestion of... - ANScarbohydrate
Insulin is responsible for the... - ANSstorage of energy in cells
Glucagon is the counter-regulatory hormone to insulin: - ANSit releases energy out of the cells
Your insulin level is too high if... - ANSit drives up your blood pressure, makes you fat, or
reduces your ability to suppress blood sugar after eating carbohydrate
Type 2 diabetes is caused by - ANSa receptor downgrade phenomenon on the liver, muscle,
and fat cells
, Receptor downgrade phenomenon occurs when - ANSyou expose yourself to too much insulin;
your cells become blind to it
To get a sub-three-minute Fran, you need to... - ANSweigh and measure your meat and
vegetables, nuts and seeds, fruit and starch, and you need to eliminate sugar.
There is a one-to-one correspondence between elite CrossFit performance and... - ANSthe
accuracy and precision of their consumption
Lean body mass and activity level are... - ANSwhat is relevant and pertinent to your
prescription. Everything else is not germane, not pertinent, not relevant.
Commitment and focus are going to overcome... - ANSgenetic limitations.
Our specialty is - ANSnot specializing
CrossFit is: - ANS"constantly varied, high-intensity functional movement"
Load, distance, and speed are three attributes of: - ANSFunctional movement
Intensity is - ANSthe independent variable associated with maximizing the rate of return of
favorable adaptation to exercise
Omega-3 fats (Alpha-linolenic acid) are... - ANS"anti-inflammatory" fats found in flax seed, fish,
algae, grass fed/pasture raised meat and eggs
Omega-6 fats (linoleic acid) are... - ANSknown as "pro-inflammatory" fats whose sources are
nuts, grains, vegetable oils, grain-fed meat and eggs, borrage seed oil, evening primrose oil,
and animal fat
Paleo era ratio of Omega-6:Omega-3 - ANS2:1
Today's ratio of Omega-6:Omega-3 - ANS20:1
CrossFit increases work capacity across - ANSbroad time and modal domains
Increased work capacity is - ANSthe Holy Grail of perfornance improvement.
CrossFit is a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in each of which 10 physical
domains? - ANSCardiovascular/respiratory, endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power,
speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy.
Powerful hip extension alone is necessary and nearly sufficient for... - ANSelite athletic
performance
