Training Status and Types of Training in CrossFit : Master's Thesis

Cilj ovog rada bio je dobiti sliku o vaţnosti pojedinih elemenata CrossFit treninga kod pojedinih skupina/razina vjeţbača. Pokušala se utvrditi razlika u vaţnosti elemenata treninga temeljem mišljenja iskusnih voditelja CrossFit treninga i vjeţbača. TakoĎer definiralo se razlike u percepciji vaţnosti izmeĎu muškaraca i ţena. Uzorak ispitanika u ovom radu predstavljali su polaznici i treneri CrossFit programa iz Splita. Ukupan uzorak činilo je 13 ispitanika, od čega je šest bilo ţena. Prosječno su u CrossFit program uključeni 47 mjeseci (4 godine) s rasponom od minimalno 18 do maksimalno 108 mjeseci iskustva. Ukupan uzorak varijabli sačinjavalo je 14 varijabli koje su prikupljene primjenom djelomično zatvorenog strukturiranog upitnika. Metode obrade rezultata uključivale su deskriptivne statističke procedure, metode za utvrĎivanje razlika meĎu grupama i metode za utvrĎivanje povezanosti meĎu varijablama. Očito je da se većina polaznika CrossFita kao i trenera CrossFita analiziranih u ovom radu prethodno bavilo sportska gimnastikom. Generalno postoji konsenzus kako komponenta snage ne bi trebala prevladavati u treningu na početnoj razini, već bi se trebalo bazirati na unapreĎenje vještine. Kod srednje i napredne razine vjeţbači i treneri smatraju kako je kodicija najvaţniji segment pripreme, a vaţnost snage dolazi do izraţaja na naprednoj razini.Premda je istraţivanje provedeno na relativno malom uzorku ispitanika dobiveni su podaci koji se bi se trebali uvaţavati u planiranju i programiranju treninga u CrossFitu.The aim of this paper was to get a closer picture of the importance of different CrossFit training elements in different groups / levels of exercise. Based on the opinions of experienced CrossFit trainers and athletes it was attempted to determinate difference between importance of each element. Differences in the perception of importance between men and women were also defined. The sample of participants in this paper was presented by the participants and trainers of the CrossFit program from Split. The total sample consisted of 13 respondents, of whom six were women. On average, the CrossFit program is 47 months (4 years) with a range of minimum 18 to a maximum of 108 months of2 experience. The total sample variables consisted of 14 variables that were collected by using a partially closed structured questionnaire. The methods of processing the results included descriptive statistical procedures, methods for determining the differences between the groups, and methods for determining the correlation between the variables. It is obvious that most CrossFit participants as well as CrossFit trainers analyzed in this paper previously engaged in sports gymnastics. There is generally consensus that a strength component should not prevail in beginners level training, but should be based on improving skills. For scaled and advanced level, athletes and trainers believe that condition is the most important segment of preparation, and the importance of strength comes to the fore at an advanced level. Although the survey was conducted on a relatively small sample of respondents, data was obtained that should be taken into account in planning and programming the CrossFit training
