1. Purpose and Explanation - CrossComps are standardized fitness tests that are proctored by a certified CrossComp Judge. A CrossComp involves a series of 4 basic exercises: Shuttle Run/Walk, Squats, Leg-Raises, and Push-Ups. The objective of a CrossComp is to determine your physical functional capacity, generate an appropriate exercise prescription, and track your progress towards your personal fitness goals. A CrossComp is recommended every one to six months depending on your fitness level and individualized training program. Participation is voluntary.
2 Instructions - You are allowed to modify each exercise to the best of your capability and to set your own pace to whatever intensity level is comfortable for you. You may pause and rest any time during your exercise tests, and you may stop your CrossComp at any time for any reason. Your CrossComp Judge may encourage you to slow-down or insist that you stop, depending on the signs of exertion or discomfort that you exhibit during your CrossComp.
3. Attendant Discomforts and Risks - There is the possibility of certain physiological changes occurring during your CrossComp. These include shortness of breath, pounding heart beats, palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, impaired coordination, and in extremely rare instances, heart attack, stroke, or death.
