160201 - CrossFit | Recap: The 10 General Physical Skills

  1. Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance–The ability of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen. 

  2. Stamina–The ability of body systems to process, deliver, store, and utilize energy.

  3. Strength–The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply force.

  4. Flexibility–The ability to maximize the range of motion at a given joint.

  5. Power–The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply maximum force in minimum time.

  6. Speed–The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement.

  7. Coordination–The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement.

  8. Agility–The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another.

  9. Balance–The ability to control the placement of the body’s center of gravity in relation to its support base.

  10. Accuracy–The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity. 

    We hit all of these, all of the time, but not every day. Sometimes we load up on strength, sometimes it's a barn burner, and we work on speed and power primarily, and sometimes it's a long grinder and hit cardio and stamina. The point is, is that if you're not hitting all of these on a regular basis, maybe rethink what you consider fitness or being fit.
