,CrossFit program embraces... - Answer: short, middle, and long distance
metabolic conditioning, low, moderate, and heavy load assignment. We encourage
creative and continuously varied compositions
Among the hormonal responses vital to athletic
development are... - Answer: substantial increases in testosterone, insulin-like
growth factor, and human growth hormone
Neuroendocrine adaptation - 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 - Answer: time rate of doing work
what is associated with a high neuroendocrine response? - Answer: Heavy load
weight training, short rest between
sets, high heart rates, high intensity training, and short
rest intervals
Cross training - Answer: exceeding the normal parameters of the regular demands
of your sport or training
types of cross training - 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

and effectively
(develop an athletes' explosive power, control of external objects, and mastery of
critical motor recruitment patterns)
studies have demonstrated the Olympic lifts
