"The International Functional Fitness Federation (iF3) is a non-profit organization that serves as the international governing body for competitive functional fitness.
Our goal is to increase safety and fairness in functional fitness competitions through
- implementation of a standardized rulebook,
- clear movement standards,
- written safety guidelines for event organizers,
- training for technical officials, and
- increased competitive opportunities for athletes.
Competitive Programming in International Functional Fitness Medley Style Competitions follows the following methodology:
- The tests are known in characteristics (i.e the categories or capacities being tested stay constant) but are unknown in demand (i.e. the actual movements, repetitions, loads, time domains, etc. being tested change at each competition).
- The tests are created with the intention of allowing athletes to perform to their max potential.
- The tests for the World Championships are initially created by the Programming Committee.
- All tests themselves are then performed and tested for safety, reliability, and response elicited well in advance of the competition date.
- The final testing protocol for the competition is sent to the Board of Directors for final approval."
The iF3 has provided a great model for fitness sport as far as:
- Intention
- Ordering
- Standardization
- Checks and Balances
- Balanced Testing
