Study Notes

Quantifying Fitness

Fitness is quantifiable by measuring work capacity across broad time and modal domains.
Work capacity can be assessed by analyzing the area under the work-capacity curve.
Fitness can be measured across a diverse range of activities, like rowing, running, and weightlifting.
This quantification of fitness is based on evidence-based fitness, which relies on measurable, observable and repeatable data.

Evidence-based Fitness

Evidence-based fitness emphasizes the importance of analyzing fitness program safety, efficacy, and efficiency.
Efficacy refers to the program's results and adaptations it induces.
Efficiency relates to the time it takes to achieve desired results.
Safety focuses on the program's impact on participants' health and well-being.

Movement Qualification

The quantification of fitness necessitates the qualification of movement, which includes mechanics, technique, form, and style.
Mechanics refers to the physics of movement, including angular velocity, momentum, leverage, and muscular forces.
Technique refers to the method used to execute a movement, encompassing head and body posture.
Form represents the normative values of movement, determining what constitutes good or bad execution.
Style represents the unique individual expression within a movement.

Relationship between Power and Technique

Successful completion of functional movement requires both power and technique.
Movement efficiency starts with mastering technique before increasing intensity.
Continuous pushing of limits allows for improvement in both power and technique.
Technique is crucial for maximizing power output during functional movement.
