Crossfit Level 1 Exam Questions and Verified Answers (100% Pass)
Aim of Crossfit - Answers broad, general and inclusive fitness
Prescription - Answers constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement
Functional movement - Answers load, distance and speed
Diet - Answers lays the molecular foundations for fitness and health.
Metabolic Conditioning - Answers builds capacity in each of three metabolic pathways, beginning with
aerobic, then lactic acid, and then phosphocreatine pathways
Gymnastics - Answers establishes functional capacity for body control and range of motion.
Weightlifting and throwing - Answers develop ability to control external objects and produce power.
Sport - Answers applies fitness in competitive atmosphere with more randomized movements and skill
mastery
two anaerobic systems - Answers the phosphagen system and the lactic acid system
two Olympic lifts - Answers the clean and jerk and the snatch
olympic lifts train athletes to... - Answers 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... - Answers 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... - Answers 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? - Answers pull-ups, squats, lunges, jumping, push-ups, and
numerous presses to handstand, scales, and holds.
Gymnastics is... - Answers the ultimate approach to improving coordination, balance, agility, accuracy,
and flexibility.
,CrossFit program embraces... - Answers short, middle, and long distance metabolic conditioning, low,
moderate, and heavy load assignment. We encourage creative and continuously varied compositions
Among the hormonal responses vital to athletic
development are... - Answers substantial increases in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and
human growth hormone
Neuroendocrine adaptation - Answers 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 - Answers time rate of doing work
what is associated with a high neuroendocrine response? - Answers Heavy load weight training, short
rest between
sets, high heart rates, high intensity training, and short
rest intervals
Cross training - Answers exceeding the normal parameters of the regular demands of your sport or
training
types of cross training - Answers 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 - Answers neuroendocrine response, power, cross
training, functional movement
Functional Movements - Answers 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: - Answers 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.
Fat should be predominantly monounsaturated and account for about 30% of your total caloric load.
Calories should be set at between .7 and 1.0 grams of
protein per pound of lean body mass depending on your
activity level. The .7 figure is for moderate daily workout
loads and the 1.0 figure is for the hardcore athlete.
What is t he problem with high-glycemic carbohydrates? - Answers they give an inordinate insulin
response.
the three most important and interdependent facets of any fitness program - Answers safety, efficacy,
and efficiency. They can be supported only by measurable, observable, repeatable facts, i.e., data. We
call this approach "evidence-based fitness".
Crossfit is... - Answers The sport of fitness
a core strength and conditioning program
CrossFit increases... - Answers work capacity across broad time and modal domains.
The ten recognized fitness domains. - Answers Cardiovascular and Respiratory endurance, Stamina,
Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance, and Accuracy.
What types of movements does Crossfit work with? - Answers with compound movements and shorter
high intensity cardiovascular sessions
CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program in what two distinct senses - Answers the fitness we
develop is foundational to all other athletic needs and our work focuses on the major functional axis of
the human body, the extension and flexion, of the hips and extension, flexion, and rotation of the torso
or trunk. T
Definition of an athlete - Answers a person who is trained or skilled in strength, power, balance and
agility, flexibility, and endurance
CrossFit modelholds what as strongly overlapping constructs. - Answers "fitness", "health", and
"athleticism"
What are measures of health - Answers fitness, wellness, and pathology (sickness)
improvements in which of the ten recognized general physical skills come about through training. -
Answers endurance, stamina, strength, and flexibility
