From CFA Management:

CrossFit Austin is proud to introduce the newest member of our Coaching Staff, Mark Grande.  Previously an athlete and Coach at CrossFit Kyle, Mark joins our team with years of professional and athletic experience! We’ll let him tell you more about himself… but we’re excited to add another seasoned and experienced coach at CrossFit Austin! Mark will be joining our evening Coaching crew – Welcome Mark to the CrossFit Austin community next time you see him!

About Mark:

Mark attained a B.S. degree in Kinesiology from Kansas State University as well as a M.Ed. degree in Exercise and Sports Science from Texas State University. Mark is currently a full-time lecturer and director of The Physical Fitness & Wellness program at Texas State University. He is also CrossFit Level 1 and Kids certified. Mark has years of experience with kids, being an uncle to 6, which sparked his desire to work with children and teens. He has developed and successfully implemented a CF Kids program for over a year during his time of coaching at CrossFit Kyle.

A Message from Mark:

I have been a competitor and athlete for as long as I can remember, and CrossFit has the unique ability to fill that desire to train for a purpose. I have battled to overcome knee and shoulder surgeries from previous athletic injuries for many years. I am now completely healthy and mobile because CrossFit has become my form of rehabilitation. However, nothing is more rewarding than seeing the individual gains that are accomplished daily from the people I coach. CrossFit provides a mastery motivational climate in which individuals can achieve levels of personal fitness that were otherwise thought unachievable or impossible. I also have a strong desire to see today’s youth develop into tough, confident, and determined young men and women. I believe that CrossFit Kids can influence and create a foundation of fitness for a lifetime. To me, nothing is more rewarding than teaching and coaching because of the positive impact it can make in a person’s life.

What kind of test:
Max Aerobic Power (Cyclical) – 2K Row
Max Aerobic Power (Mix Modal) – Chipper

What to expect:
One of the cool things about testing fitness is we get to compare more traditional means of fitness testing like a 2K row, with a more unconventional “Chipper” style CrossFit test.  Both tests should fall somewhere in the range of 7-10 minutes for most of our athletes. However while the 2K row will be primarily limited by our aerobic capacity, rowing efficiency, and structure (height and weight). The chipper could be limited by multiple factors including strength endurance, aerobic capacity, movement efficiency, flexibility, strength, and technical efficiency in the five different movements.

What is the Goal:
As stated above both of these tests should fall somewhere in 7-10 minute range which gives us some insight into you max aerobic power.  To understand aerobic power we need to understand aerobic capacity or what’s commonly referred to as V02 max. Aerobic capacity is basically the maximum amount of energy or effort that can be fueled by oxygen during physical activity. Therefore when we test aerobic power we are seeing how well or to what degree you are able utilize your aerobic capacity for a given task. To the degree you can produce power by utilizing your aerobic capacity, the more work you will be able to perform using less effort. This translates into being able to work longer and harder over time.
