Study Notes
CrossFit Fitness Standards
- Fitness is measured by performance across ten general physical skills: cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy.
- Training improves endurance, stamina, strength, and flexibility, while practice enhances coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy.
Metabolic Pathways
- Three metabolic pathways provide energy: phosphagen, glycolytic, and oxidative.
- Anaerobic activity develops power, speed, strength, and muscle mass without negatively impacting aerobic capacity when structured properly.
Interval Training
- Interval training effectively uses anaerobic efforts to boost aerobic conditioning, allowing for all cardiovascular benefits of endurance work while preserving strength and power.
- Transitioning between exercises with minimal rest enhances agility.
Gymnastics in Fitness
- Gymnastics includes activities focusing on body control such as climbing, yoga, calisthenics, and dance.
- Handstand proficiency aids in developing skills like handstand presses and improves balance and accuracy.
Conditioning Variability
- A broad stimulus is crucial for achieving comprehensive fitness; routine limits adaptation.
- A mix of workout intensities, including low and high weights as well as varying rep schemes, is essential for continued progress.
Training Recommendations
- Regularly incorporate high-intensity training through various modalities, emphasizing both anaerobic and aerobic components.
- Recommended workout structure: Warm-up, followed by weightlifting sets, a gymnastics circuit, and high-intensity conditioning.
Integration of Training Disciplines
- Blurring lines between cardio and strength training is optimal; fitness should include diverse movements.
- Collaboration between gymnastics and weightlifting generates significant metabolic challenges and enhances overall fitness levels.
Flexibility and Core Strength
- Flexibility should be developed through consistent practice, enhancing performance across all fitness areas.
- Core strength emphasized through exercises like the “L” hold, with targets of progressively longer hold times.
Recovery and Sustainability
- A training pattern of three days on, one day off helps maintain high performance sustainability over time.
