The Level 1 Certificate Course is the starting point for anyone seeking to improve their health and fitness through effective training and nutritional strategies → www.crossfit.com/certificate-courses/level-1?EDUL1
As a way to educate people about CF, the L1 is great. As a way to open an affiliate and be a professional coach, absolutely not. Glad that CF HQ now requires at least a L2. I personally think a L3 should be the minimum
SUMMARY: 1. **Definition of Fitness:** Fitness is defined as work capacity across broad time and modal domains, which essentially means the ability to produce power over a wide range of physical activities and durations. 2. **Graphical Representation:** On a graph with power on the Y-axis and duration on the X-axis, individual workouts are plotted as data points to represent different power outputs over time. 3. **Data Collection from Workouts:** By using a specific formula (Force x distance/time), power output for various workouts is calculated and plotted on the graph to represent different time domains (e.g., 60 seconds). 4. **Average Power Output:** The average power output across these data points is found and represented on the graph, helping to visualize one's overall fitness level. 5. **Expanding Time Domains:** Various exercises are considered under different time domains (from 10 seconds to several hours) including short sprints, medium-duration workouts, and long-duration endurance events like marathons. 6. **Line of Best Fit:** Once all relevant data points are averaged, a line of best fit is drawn across these points to graphically display the fitness level of an individual. 7. **Area Under the Curve:** The area under the curve of this line represents the total work capacity, which correlates directly to the person’s overall fitness. 8. **Incorporation of Metabolic Pathways and Skills:** The model incorporates metabolic pathways (short, medium, long) and a balance of physiological adaptations and skills (10 General physical skills), affecting the curve's shape and height. 9. **Comparison with Specialists:** Comparisons are made between the fitness profiles of CrossFit athletes and specialists like Olympic lifters or endurance runners, noting that while specialists may excel in certain areas, their overall fitness curve might not cover as broad a range as that of a CrossFit athlete. 10. **Goal of CrossFit:** The overarching goal of CrossFit is to elevate every aspect of fitness (short and powerful to long and enduring) through diverse and comprehensive training, aiming to improve the area under the curve and avoid specialization that limits overall fitness.
The power duration curve has been known for a long time but, in practice, it can be implemented easily only with cyclists. In CF nobody calculates and plots power outputs of various WODs to quantify fitness. P.S. I suggest using Watts as the unit of measure for power
Good to see gone the claim that CrossFit (or better Glassman) was the first to define and measure fitness as work capacity over a broad range of exercise durations and modalities.
@@spencergsmith if you actually did a bit of studying instead of drinking the kool aid, you would know. But start with Adamson GT. Circuit training. Ergonomics. 1959 Feb 1;2(2):183-6.
It actually goes even back further than that. In PE fitness has been measured over broad time and modalities for centuries, think broad jump, number of push ups in a minute, Cooper Test and many other test. Only people like you who are ignorant of the field and its history can believe glassman’s lies
@@samuele.marcora we never said fitness hasn’t been tested or measured that way, but no one had DEFINED it that way. There is a difference. When Glassman came along, the definition for fitness was “the state of being fit.” That is the quintessential circular definition. Besides, not many CrossFitters claim that Glassman invented most of what he taught, but he was the first one to put a lot of the separate pieces together in a way that made sense.
@@spencergsmith wrong again. Do a bit of studying and then come back to me. Fitness defined as work capacity is very old. The most popular aerobic and anaerobic tests literally measures work capacity as power output and they were developed in the 50s and 60s

@@samuele.marcoraoh boy, here we go again…
I would subscribe to a CrossFit pep talk from Denise every day! 😄🙌
Nice
Riveting semifinals footage!
I specifically thought of you as soon as I saw this…you know they listen to you now
Great content, got this back in 2020 or 2021 though.

Nice, i’m trying to understand crossfit methodology this helped me a lot
Hiller is going to be so excited 🦇🦇🦇🦇
he is
😂🎉

Yes, we should only do things that are easy. That’s how we advance as a society.
Thank you. Learning and motivation

Then who was the first?

How pretentious, that's assuming that every sport is the same lmao
