Level 1 Certificate Course—Supporting Content

このクロスフィットレベル1トレーニングガイドは、2002 年からクロスフィットの CEO 兼創設者であるグレッグ・グラスマンコーチが中心となり執筆した「クロスフィットジャーナル」の中からクロスフィットの基本動作と方法論について書かれた記事を1つにまとめたものです。レベル1修了コースとは、クロスフィットの基盤となるセミナーであり、これまでに何千人もの方々がこのコースを受講し、クロスフィットトレーナーとしての新たな門出を切ってきました。

このガイドは、レベル1コースと組み合わせて使用されることでコース受講者の知識とトレーナーとしての能力を向上することを目的としています。そして、それは同時にレベル1コースでのテストへの準備となります。このガイドの内容はトレーナーとして必須とされる知識を記載したものであり、指導をする上での膨大な知識のすべてを網羅している訳ではありません。テストを通過するために必要な知識の大部分はこのガイドに記載されていますが、テストには 2 日間のコース内で学ぶ内容も含まれます。

なお、現在のコースの実施内容に沿うように、そして読者に十分な文脈を提供することでより充実した教材となるように、この ガイドに収録されている記事には多少の変更が加えられています。原本の内容はクロスフィットジャーナルとしてオンラインで参照することができます。本ガイド内のリンク(青色で表示)をご利用ください。
