CROSSIFT LEVEL 1 162 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 2023
Aim of Crossfit - answer broad, general and inclusive fitness
Prescription - answer constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement
Functional movement - answer load, distance and speed
Diet - answer lays the molecular foundations for fitness and health.
Metabolic Conditioning - answer builds capacity in each of three metabolic pathways, beginning
with aerobic, then lactic acid, and then phosphocreatine pathways
Gymnastics - answer establishes functional capacity for body control and range of motion.
Weightlifting and throwing - answer develop ability to control external objects and produce
power.
Sport - answer applies fitness in competitive atmosphere with more randomized movements
and skill mastery
two anaerobic systems - answer the phosphagen system and the lactic acid system
two Olympic lifts - answer the clean and jerk and the snatch
olympic lifts train athletes to... - answer effectively activate more muscle fibers more rapidly
than through any other modality of training apply force to muscle groups in proper sequence,
,i.e., from the center of the body to its extremities condition the body to receive such forces
from another moving body both safely and effectively
(develop an athletes' explosive power, control of external objects, and mastery of critical motor
recruitment patterns)
studies have demonstrated the Olympic lifts
unique capacity to... - answer develop strength, muscle, power, speed, coordination, vertical
leap, muscular endurance, bone strength, and the physical capacity to withstand stress
extraordinary value of gymnastics as a training
modality lies in... - answer its reliance on the body's own weight as the sole source of
resistance. This places a unique premium on the improvement of strength to weight ratio
Gymnastics develops what movements? - answer pull-ups, squats, lunges, jumping, push-ups,

low, moderate, and heavy load assignment. We encourage creative and continuously varied
compositions
Among the hormonal responses vital to athletic
development are... - answer substantial increases in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and
human growth hormone
Neuroendocrine adaptation - answer a change in the body that affects you either neurologically
or hormonally. Most important adaptations to exercise are in part
or completely a result of a hormonal or neurological shift
, Power - answer time rate of doing work
what is associated with a high neuroendocrine response? - answer Heavy load weight training,
short rest between
sets, high heart rates, high intensity training, and short
rest intervals
Cross training - answer exceeding the normal parameters of the regular demands of your sport
or training
types of cross training - answer functional, metabolic, and modal. That is
we regularly train past the normal motions, metabolic
pathways, and modes or sports common to the athlete's
sport or exercise regimen
The four defining themes of the Crossfit program - answer neuroendocrine response, power,
cross training, functional movement
Functional Movements - answer movements that mimic motor recruitment patterns that are
found in everyday life.
The bulk of isolation movements are non-functional movements. By contrast the compound or
multi-joint movements are functional.
mechanically sound and therefore safe, and secondly they are the movements that elicit a high
neuroendocrine response.
CrossFit dietary prescription is as follows: - answer Protein should be lean and varied and
account for about 30% of your total caloric load.
Carbohydrates should be predominantly low-glycemic and account for about 40% of your total
caloric load.
