Document Summary

Basic assumptions: we live in a society that believes that exercise leads to health, which leads to reduced health care costs; optimal level is always changing. See crossfit and rhabdomyolysis: improved glucose handling etc (stuff we talk about in kinesiology, we often over look the costs in kinesiology. Sports are changing to prevent the costs of injury early in sports careers. Contemporary visions of fitness: crossfit vision we have sought to build a program that will best prepare trainees for any physical contingency not only for the unknown, but for the unknowable . Part of our risk theory; builds on risk theory and the notion that shit is about to hit the fan; preparing you to survive the worst. No longer preparing for the beach or the bedroom, you are preparing unforeseen natural disaster or a burning building. Ideological aspects of health: health is both biological and cultural.
