CrossFit’s First Fitness Model: The 10 General Physical Skills

 # Home

There are 10 recognized general physical skills. They are cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. 

 

You are as fit as you are competent in each of these 10 skills. A regimen develops fitness to the extent that it improves each of these 10 skills. If your goal is optimum physical competence, then all the general physical skills must be considered.

 

Importantly, improvements in endurance, stamina, strength, and flexibility come about through training. Training refers to an activity that improves performance through a measurable organic change in the body. By contrast improvements in coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy come about through practice. Practice refers to an activity that improves performance through changes in the nervous system. Power and speed are adaptations of both training and practice.
