... [Show More] varied, high intensity, functional
movement
Functional movement - CORRECT ANSWER-load, distance and speed
Diet - CORRECT ANSWER-lays the molecular foundations for fitness and health.
Metabolic Conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER-builds capacity in each of three
metabolic pathways, beginning with aerobic, then lactic acid, and then phosphocreatine
pathways
Gymnastics - CORRECT ANSWER-establishes functional capacity for body control and
range of motion.
Weightlifting and throwing - CORRECT ANSWER-develop ability to control external
objects and produce power.
Sport - CORRECT ANSWER-applies fitness in competitive atmosphere with more
randomized movements and skill mastery
two anaerobic systems - CORRECT ANSWER-the phosphagen system and the lactic
acid system
two Olympic lifts - CORRECT ANSWER-the clean and jerk and the snatch
olympic lifts train athletes to... - CORRECT ANSWER-effectively activate more muscle
fibers more rapidly than through any other modality of training apply force to muscle
groups in proper sequence, i.e., from the center of the body to its extremities condition
the body to receive such forces from another moving body both safely and effectively
(develop an athletes' explosive power, control of external objects, and mastery of critical
motor recruitment patterns)
studies have demonstrated the Olympic lifts
unique capacity to... - CORRECT ANSWER-develop strength, muscle, power, speed,
coordination, vertical leap, muscular endurance, bone strength, and the physical
capacity to withstand stress
extraordinary value of gymnastics as a training
modality lies in... - CORRECT ANSWER-its reliance on the body's own weight as the
sole source of resistance. This places a unique premium on the improvement of
strength to weight ratio
Gymnastics develops what movements? - CORRECT ANSWER-pull-ups, squats,

Among the hormonal responses vital to athletic
development are... - CORRECT ANSWER-substantial increases in testosterone,
insulin-like growth factor, and human growth hormone
Neuroendocrine adaptation - CORRECT ANSWER-a change in the body that affects
you either neurologically or hormonally. Most important adaptations to exercise are in
part
or completely a result of a hormonal or neurological shift
Power - CORRECT ANSWER-time rate of doing work
what is associated with a high neuroendocrine response? - CORRECT ANSWERHeavy load weight training, short rest between
sets, high heart rates, high intensity training, and short
rest intervals
Cross training - CORRECT ANSWER-exceeding the normal parameters of the regular
demands of your sport or training
types of cross training - CORRECT ANSWER-functional, metabolic, and modal. That is
we regularly train past the normal motions, metabolic
pathways, and modes or sports common to the athlete's
sport or exercise regimen
The four defining themes of the Crossfit program - CORRECT ANSWERneuroendocrine response, power, cross training, functional movement
Functional Movements - CORRECT ANSWER-movements that mimic motor
recruitment patterns that are found in everyday life.
The bulk of isolation movements are non-functional movements. By co [Show Less]
