Current Application

The significant level of growth for Crossfit has also subsequently extended to adaptations for use by a range of teams within the sports arena, at both college and high school levels (Paine et al, 2010). Currently, five varying adaptations of the concept exist forming a procedure known to the mainstream as the Crossfit method, which incorporates routines for use, by combat athletes kids, seniors and military personnel operating in the context of austere environments. Two additional programs “Elements of Crossfit” and “Boot Camp” also exist for application in gyms (Paine et al, 2010). The concept incorporates these programs to fulfill the aim of introducing beginners to Crossfit. The year 2007 saw the United States Marine Corps shift from the conventional nature of their training regimen, which involves routines such as distance running to Crossfit-oriented model. A significant majority of police, military, and fire departments in the United States and Canada are embracing the shift from conventional forms of physical fitness training programs by incorporating the Crossfit model into them. Having come a long way, the growth of this program has subsequently led to the creation of shifts that have proven effective in the arena of physical fitness (Paine et al., 2010).
