institution), it shapes the practices of Initial Teacher Education (ITE), including pre-service PE teachers’ daily preparation for teaching qualification and employment. The form of Physical Education (PE) teacher selection matters in that, as a system of rules (i.e. The experimental training program based on the principles of CrossFit training had a positive effect on the general and special kickboxing physical fitness. There was also a correlation between characteristics of general fitness and special fitness (p < 0.001).
Furthermore, changes in special fitness were also demonstrated for the special kickboxing fitness test (SKFT) (p < 0.02), the total number of punches (p < 0.001), punching speed (p < 0.001), and hip turning speed (p < 0.001). Statistically significant differences were found in general fitness in terms of abdominal strength (p < 0.001), pull-ups (p < 0.001), dynamometric measurement of handgrip force (p < 0.001) (kg), clap push-ups (p < 0.001), standing long jump (p < 0.001), shuttle run (p < 0.001), sit-and-reach (p < 0.001), and tapping (p < 0.001). General and special physical fitness of the athletes were diagnosed. The intervention in the study group involved the introduction of CrossFit-based training into a conventional kickboxing training program. Participants were selected by purposive sampling, and the criteria were training experience, sports skill level (minimum class 1 athletes), and consent to participate in the experiment. The study was experimental in nature and was conducted in a group of 60 kickboxers, divided into experimental and control groups. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of modified training based on the principles of CrossFit on the development of general physical fitness in a group of kickboxers compared to a control group. General physical fitness, defined as the effect of the externalization of motor skills, is the basis for athletic training regardless of the sport. Kickboxing is a combat sport that is complex in technique, tactics, and movement structure, and requires an adequate level of motor skills as a foundation for activities during competitions. Our analysis bridges a theoretical chasm between studies analyzing consumers’ proactive risk-taking behavior and those addressing the feelings of anxiety and uncertainty induced by the threat of uncontrollable systemic risks. Rather than combatting modernist disenchantment (i.e., the existential model) or building human capital for entrepreneurial competitions (i.e., the neoliberal model), CrossFit enthusiasts understand risk-taking as a means to build their preparatory fitness for unknown contingencies and imminent threats. We then explicate the ways in which CrossFit’s marketplace culture shapes consumers’ normative understandings of risk and their corresponding identity goals. To provide analytic clarity, we first delineate the key differences between reflexive modernization and the two interpretive frameworks-the existential and neoliberal models-that have framed prior explanations of consumers’ proactive risk-taking. Through this analysis, we illuminate a different set of theoretical relationships than have been addressed by previous accounts of physically challenging, risk-taking consumption practices. This study analyzes CrossFit as a marketplace culture that articulates several key dimensions of reflexive modernization.
