"The method was developed by Greg Glassman, who founded CrossFit with Lauren Jenai in 2000..."
The study of the mechanics of CrossFit movements and how to perform them safely and correctly.
Anatomy and Physiology: Understanding human body structures and systems, and how they work together during movement.
Biomechanics: The study of mechanical principles applied to the structure and function of the human body in motion.
The CrossFit Methodology: A comprehensive fitness program that combines weightlifting, gymnastics, and aerobic exercises to improve overall fitness.
Kinematics: The study of the motion of objects without consideration of the forces that cause the motion.
Kinesiology: The scientific study of human movement and its relationship to anatomy, physiology and mechanics.
Strength and Conditioning: The training and development of physical fitness and performance through exercise and nutrition.
Exercise Physiology: The study of how the body responds to physical activity, including aerobic and anaerobic exercise.
Sports Medicine: The medical branch that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of injuries related to sports and exercise.
Nutrition: The science of understanding how food affects our health, growth, and wellbeing.
Sports Psychology: The study of how psychological factors influence sports performance and how participation in sports can affect mental health.
Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation: The study of preventing and rehabilitating injuries through exercise, nutrition, and therapy.
Motor Development: The study of how humans acquire and refine motor skills through growth and learning.
Motor Control: The study of how the nervous system controls movement, including muscle activation and coordination.
Movement Screening and Assessment: The use of a standardized methodology to evaluate and identify movement inefficiencies, limitations and asymmetries.
Movement Training and Practice: The study and application of specific movements and exercises to improve performance, mobility, stability, strength, and endurance.
Biomechanical analysis: This type of analysis focuses on the mechanics of the body and how it moves during CrossFit workouts.
Kinematic analysis: This type of analysis measures the position, velocity, and acceleration of the body during movement.
Range of motion analysis: This type of analysis measures joint mobility and flexibility during CrossFit exercises.
Force plate analysis: This type of analysis measures ground reaction forces during jumps and other high-impact movements.
Video analysis: This type of analysis uses video to analyze movement patterns during CrossFit exercises.
EMG analysis: This type of analysis measures muscular activation during CrossFit exercises.
Tensiomyography analysis: This type of analysis measures the contractile properties of muscle during movement.
Motion capture analysis: This type of analysis uses sensors to track the movement of the body during CrossFit exercises.
Timing analysis: This type of analysis measures the timing of movements and their execution during CrossFit exercises.
Gait analysis: This type of analysis focuses on the walking and running mechanics of CrossFit athletes.
