12 Cards in this Set
- Front

Define technique
|
the movements the athlete completes to accomplish the task
|
|
Articulate how technique confers safety, efficacy, and efficiency
|
technique ensures results that are measurable, observable & repeatable
safety- whats the risk involved Efficacy- what am i to get out of it Efficiency- how long is it going to take |
|
Articulate how technique can be assessed to determine effectiveness
|
A technique is considered better if it improves work capacity across broad time and modal domains
|
|
Explain the relationship of practice to technique
|
practice improves the neuro skills which improves technique
|
|
Explain the relationship of coordination, accuracy, agility, and balance to practice & technique
|
these are all the neuro skills that technique will improve with practice
|
|
Explain the relationship of technique to optimizing results
|
Perfect technique and mechanics cannot be sustained at maximum output. Maximum output cannot be achieved without good technique and mechanics
|
|
Explain the relative demand on the neurological system as load increase
|
load increase greater load on neuro system
|
|
Differentiate traditional definitions of strength from CrossFit’s definition of strength
|
traditional is around the muscular contractile force but in CF what matters is the ability to apply muscular force to do real physical work which cannot be independent
|
|
Explain how technique is necessary to be strong/powerful
|
proper technique is the mechanism by which potential human energy & strength are translated into real work capacity
|
|
Define productive application of force
|
strength
|
|
Define threshold training and threshold speed
|
to increase intensity to a point where mechanics fail, to then reduce intensity to improve on the mechanics
|
|
Explain how to use threshold training as a tool for practicing and improving technique while maximizing speed
|
Perfect technique and mechanics cannot be sustained at maximum output. Maximum output cannot be achieved without good technique and mechanics. This conundrum is resolved by ramping up the intensity until the mechanics start to degrade, at which point the athlete should refocus on the mechanics while sustaining as much intensity as possible. Done properly, this practice leads to improved mechanics at higher and higher levels of intensity.
