Knowing how to dose the training pace is a good choice for beginners in this sport
CrossFit is a consolidated activity among Brazilians, that is, it is the alternative for the summer project and after the year 2023. There are several benefits both for health and for aesthetics, which have not yet eliminated the doubts. Along these lines, there is the question: is a CrossFit newbie dealing with exercise restrictions?
Answer and guide
“I think there is not so much specificity related to the exercise, but in general thinking that the most important thing is not to add overload in a movement that is not performed well. This from the point of view of technique and articulation CrossFit has a series of more complex exercises that the student will only perform when he is prepared,” said professor and doctor Átila Alexandre Trapé, of the EEFERP-USP (Ribeirão Preto School of Physical Education and Sport, University of São Paulo) , in a exclusive interview for sports life.
There is a price to pay when investing in quality. It may sound like a cliché, but it’s not. This EEFERP-USP doctor mentions the importance of a qualified CrossFit training professional to give results to both beginners and “veteran”.
“It is also important to point out that we have progressions and regressions of exercises. So, especially in this sense, training in one place, having teachers who can guide you well, means adapting the movements that you cannot perform at that moment and carrying out regressions. Execution of simpler movements, which bear a resemblance to movements that may be performed in the future. The same is true for advanced students, who explore the progressions of the exercises. So, some aspects that can be adjusted to increase the difficulty in execution of this exercise,” advises Átila.
More recommendations
When asked which exercise the beginner should be calm and attentive before starting, Trapé warns that it is necessary to respect the initial level of physical conditioning, adapt the movements both to the technical request and to the volume and intensity and that the progression is subtle. The USP professor also recommends learning the basic movement and training in a beginner group at first.
You fell in love “at first sight” with this training program and now you can’t do without this practice anymore? Just be careful not to take damage from “overtraining”. The doctor. Átila will immediately transmit the rhythm of the weekly training and if it is worth supplementing with some beach sports training, some examples: beach tennis, footvolley, soccer and volleyball.
“It is important to respect rest, especially when the student has a lot of muscle pain. It means that the muscle is in a recovery phase and at the beginning this late pain tends to appear more. One suggestion is that the student starts practicing on interval days “Over time, as the body adjusts, it will realize that it can do two days on and one off. It’s important to look at this kind of situation,” he says.
“As regards the practice of other sports in parallel (beach tennis, foot volleyball, volleyball), especially the beginner student needs to observe the days of rest. Although they are different activities, they have a physical commitment and this rest is important. When think of activities practiced on the sand, the physical effort is even greater. Therefore, the practitioner must be very aware of these aspects related to rest”, he reflects.
