The Impact of Metabolic Stress on Hormonal Responses and Muscular Adaptations
Kazushige Goto; Naokata Ishii; Tomohiro Kizuka; Kaoru Takamatsu
Author Information
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of exercise-induced metabolic stress on hormonal responses and chronic muscular adaptations.
Methods: We compared the acute and long-term effects of an NR regimen (no-rest regimen) and those of a WR regimen (regimen with rest period within a set). Twenty-six male subjects were assigned to either the NR ( N = 9), WR ( N = 9), or control (CON, N = 8) groups. The NR regimen consisted of 3-5 sets of 10 repetitions at 10-repetition maximum (RM) with an interset rest period of 1 min (lat pulldown, shoulder press, and bilateral knee extension). In the WR regimen, subjects completed the same protocol as the NR regimen, but took a 30-s rest period at the midpoint of each set of exercises in order to reduce exercise-induced metabolic stress. Acute hormonal responses to both regimens were measured followed by a 12-wk period of resistance training.
Results: Measurements of blood lactate and serum hormone concentrations after the NR and WR regimens showed that the NR regimen induced strong lactate, growth hormone (GH), epinephrine (E), and norepinephrine (NE) responses, whereas the WR regimen did not. Both regimens failed to cause significant changes in testosterone. After 12 wk of resistance training, the NR regimen caused greater increases in 1RM ( P < 0.01), maximal isometric strength ( P < 0.05), and muscular endurance ( P < 0.05) with knee extension than the WR regimen. The NR group showed a marked increase ( P < 0.01) in muscle cross-sectional area, whereas the WR and CON groups did not.
Conclusion: These results suggest that exercise-induced metabolic stress is associated with acute GH, E, and NE responses and chronic muscular adaptations following resistance training.

Why" For Time" is relative to the individual.
Power movements of individuals are fixed and different due to the individual’s range of joint motion and Biomechanical structure. To compare from individual to individual has no value in a training format, rather "For Time" is a reference point for determining increased efficiency for that individual in reference to previous attempts.
Velocity is determined by the time taken to complete the movement through that individuals range of motion.
Training using methods that focus on decreasing the time in which the movement is produced by increasing the efficiency and or acceleration of the movement, increases power generation.
Therefore Timing a WorkOut produces a reference point from which to determine increases in power output when compared to future attempts.

What is CrossFit?
The CrossFit protocol is designedby G&L Glassman.
We believe it is ideal base conditioning for people who are looking for a challenaging yet rewarding fitness program for life or for people who actively engage in outdoor pursuits or have intense phsyical challenage as part of their vocation.
CrossFit produces what we believe to be a truly functional fitness level that is highly transferable to all athletic pursuits as well as daily physical tasks.
Crossfit is a foundational Core and Conditioning program that seeks to elicit as broad as adaptation response as possible utilizing training formats derived from Gymnastics, Olympic Weight Lifting, Sprinting and Combat disciplines.
Individuals within the program develop greater understanding of applying force while maximizing strength to weight ratio and functional range of movement. Enhancing individual’s competency in physical tasks by improving Cardiovascular and Respiratory Endurance, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Agility, Coordination and Balance.
What results is the ability to apply strength and power in real world environments and or sports providing either a stand alone conditioning routine or a platform for sport specific performance.
What Crossfit isn’t!
We are not a Hypertrophy or Curves program centered on making you look good in underwear! (Although this may be a result)

Functional Strength Conditioning
Functional Strength and Conditioning is the productive application of force. Your productive force applied may be picking up the grand kids,another persons,removing rocks from a garden.
Regardless, productive application of force in training formats is represented perfectly in functional movement patterns. So we mimic in training the most efficient motor recruitment patterns found in everyday life. Functional Strength training therefore becomes more then a method of simply increasing contractile capacity/strength.
Strength is the muscle’s ability to generate large levels of force. Increased force is directly proportional to the cross sectional area of the muscle. Strength as productive force requires in application, agility balance and coordination.
Power is the ability to move large mass though a set range of motion in short period of time. Productive Power or Applied power is to understand acceleration in movement.
Power, speed and strength have essential coordination, accuracy, agility and balance components.
Functional strength training seeks to address all the related issues of relative power & strength in each session.
Function Strength and Conditioning formats should increase the work capacity across broad time and modal domains and produce transferable adaptation of the above aspects.
If your current S&C format does not address these issues then try the Method.

2. The CrossFit Method seeks to condition and strengthen the Core Muscles.
Efficient and productive human movement relies on extension and flexion of the hips and extension flexion and rotation of the trunk and torso, ”the core muscles”. These movements originate at the core and are relayed at increasing velocities to the extremities.
The CrossFit Method strengthens the Core Muscles through mixed modality cross training involving functional movement at high intensities, coupled with a core curriculum that emphasizes learning new skills and sports to assist in improving and applying their fitness conditioning.

In close relation to Functional Fitness practices, GPP is to be conditioned at a base level of competency within fitness activities. This GPP has implications for any individual who has physical demands placed unpin them with little preparation time.
What role does GPP serve?
GPP serves as a multi faceted component of training to maintain and perfect skills that serve in auxiliary roles in life and sport.
In relation to an Athlete a major role of GPP is to form, strengthen or restore skills that play an important but secondary role to your sport. GPP seeks to increase and maintain overall work capacity in areas that are under developed. GPP can expose individuals to new skills and push individuals mentally via challenging protocols. GPP can uncover weakness and promote balance. GPP can provide important off-season variety or unloads phases after focus stages.
In the average person GPP seeks to condition across a diverse range of activities. GPP produces increased work capacity across a broad range of disciplines and skills and lays a foundation for healthy movement patterns. A strong base of GPP leads to fast adaptation process to unfamiliar or unaccustomed physical and mental demands.

Lactate Threshold
What is it?
When the body is at rest or at regular work conditions, your metabolic rate creates a balance between lactate production and blood lactate removal. The Lactate Threshold (the Margin in which your body can no longer remove lactate as fast as it is produced) directly refers to exercise stress, which produces a rapid increase in blood lactate and a decreased or less then efficient lactate removal.
Protocols that combine high volume (high work capacity), maximal steady –state training (Fluctuating Intensity Work) and Interval Training (high Intensity Work) result in increased Lactate Threshold.
Generally thought to be a concern for Power Athletes Lactate Threshold training (conditioning to improve the bodies ability to balance blood lactate production and removal during times of exercise stress) can dramatically improve performance in endurance events as will as power orientated events.
For the Generalist?
So what’s it all mean to me Recreational Jo?
Protocols that focus on Lactate Threshold improvement create a time efficient format that has multiple impacts on every aspect of fitness. Providing a board-reaching program in minimal time. That with appropriate nutrition and recovery techniques, individuals are left with an ideal conditioning structure that produces abilities and allows time to be applied to other disciplines.

Tempo Runs
Got a mid distance run ahead of you?
Don't want to plod your way through it?
Tempo is a way of managing intensity within training for distance runs. The underlying principle is that you will run a period of the distance/time at a challenging (for you) pace, followed and preceded by running a set distance at a comfortable pace (for you). Deciding that pace can be determined through Heart rate
(>85%), perceived exertion (yep I'm feeling this run), speed (treadmill speeds), or distance (increased stride for the next xxxm/km; pace per distance (experienced runners will know their pace per km).

Tempo Runs
Got a mid distance run ahead of you?
Don't want to plod your way through it?
Tempo is a way of managing intensity within training for distance runs. The underlying principle is that you will run a period of the distance/time at a challenging (for you) pace, followed and preceded by running a set distance at a comfortable pace (for you). Deciding that pace can be determined through Heart rate
(>85%), perceived exertion (yep I'm feeling this run), speed (treadmill speeds), or distance (increased stride for the next xxxm/km; pace per distance (experienced runners will know their pace per km).

Imagine an idea that propels athletes and soldiers alike to seek even higher base levels of competentcy.
Imagine an idea that is so open source nimble, and ever self correcting, self improving in its daily application that it doesn't risk irrelevancy.
Imagine an idea that changes they way the health care rehabilitation industry (physical therapy) organizes and implements its care.
Imagine an idea that carries such self evident truth with it that thousands of people spontaneously form community and fellowship.
CrossFit promotes daily self competition, self reflection, and self refinement.

Prescription
The CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement.” Functional movements are universal motor recruitment patterns; they are performed in a wave of contraction from core to extremity; and they are compound movements—i.e., they are multi-joint. They are natural, effective, and efficient locomotors of body and external objects. But no aspect of functional movements is more important than their capacity to move large loads over long distances, and to do so quickly.

(Time) For Rds
“For Rounds” is a method of scoring while increasing work capacity of a couplet or triplet of movements within a set time period.
1 Rds is designated to be a series of exercises of which the reps must be accounted for in sequence before moving on to repeat next round.
For Example
“Cindy”
1 Rd = 5 Chin Ups followed by 10 Push Ups followed by 15 Squats
It does not matter if you are need to break the reps into smaller sets or units to complete the number given, as long as you complete the reps before moving on to the next exercise. You may rest as needed.
20mins For Rds (The Time Factor)
You now have the influence of time placed on the completion of Rds. You may rest as needed but the time will keep on trucking. Creating an Intensity level as you move to finish as many Rds possible in good form; within the allotted time period.
Time for Rds gives you a referable result, if you achieve more Rds for the period on next attempt, then your work capacity and efficiency of movement has increased.
Don’t under estimate Time for Rds, these WODs can be very punishing Work Outs.
So Jump in and enjoy a new method of attrition.

Chippers
A "Chipper" is a WOD designed to be challenging by its sheer volume and variety of movements.Chippers tend to require individuals to reduce or pace themselves through each task so as to finish the full event.This requires a degree of metal determination as well as physical fitness.
The solution is to "Chip" away at the volume in small units that do not see you go to failure or deteriorate the technique of the movement.
Decide on a Rep scheme that you can achieve in good form
Set small timed breaks or "walk aways" between the designated reps.
Accumulate the reps until complete.
Don't Give Up
Start Chipping.

"For Time" indicates that the WOD will be timed from beginning until completion of all tasks set out.
Why Time a Work Out?
To create a Sense of Urgency: Life and Sport require actions to be completed with the pressure of time placed upon results.The Crossfit Method believes in Intensity and Volume over duration. In order to elicit pressure and maintain intensity within a Work Out, CrossFit WODs add the aspect of performing against the clock.
This "time" becomes a performance reference point when repeating the same workout in the future and gives individuals a goal to work towards.Bettering your Time.
Timing a WO elicits Power Generation.
Power=[Force X Distance]/Time.
By challenging Power Output we fatigue the Systems of the Human Body.Increasing an individuals power output can promote increases in absolute and relative strength, speed and endurance.
Timing a Work Out is all about You!
No one else,and the clock doesn't lie.
Want a faster time then suck in some O2 and crank another rep.

Hard Bits?
Becoming fit isn't complicated at all physically, you just have to work hard repeatedly on a varied group of key exercises (eg: squats, pull-ups, Olympic lifts, rowing, running, swimming, handstand pushups, and ring work) and let your body recover from the workouts and improve.
The hard bit is the mental aspect.
CrossFit Programming is mentally challenging and fatiguing. The Intensity and the task completion based protocols will find you wanting to quit, stop or at least rest a little longer. Attrition is not a maybe but a certainty.
Strategies will emerge for your best way through such intensity, but all will take a certain mental commitment and determination that is uncommon in Gym based programs.

Supplements
Supplements are just that, a supplement to your food intake.
It is wise to first clean up your lifestyle and dietary influences before embarking (and dropping a load of cash) on a large intake of isolated vitamins minerals and amino acids.
On achieving a reasonable diet that applies to your lifestyle you should then honestly access your goals with regards to fitness and health.
Many supplement have specific results and should only be used for narrow range of goals. Either way supplements will work best applied on top of a clean diet and lifestyle practices. They are not a crutch or band-aid method.
Do you have specific sports related goals?
Are health, vitality and enjoyment of a variety of pastimes important?
Are your goals competition based or body image based?
If you have sport specific goals then supplements should be based around aiding performance mainly in the form of recovery from training sessions.
If however your goals are for increased muscle mass then recovery and maximizing calorie intake will be an over riding goal of your diet and supplement choice.
If health and vitality are the primary objectives then perhaps consider concentrating on a clean diet, meditative and relaxation practices to produce the results.
Approach Supplements cautiously for sake of your wallet and your health, after you have attempted to clean up your diet and lifestyle practices. Realistically access your goals and research objectively as possible the available aids that are compatible with your goals.
What you require may not be just a pill or powder.
