CROSSFIT, CROSSFIT LEVEL 1CERTIFICATION 180 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
What is Crossfit? - answer constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement
What is power? - answer the time rate of doing work
What is the most important characteristic of functional movement? - answer Capacity to move
large loads over long distance (high power producing)
What are the characteristics of functional movement? - answer natural, universal motor
recruitment patterns, essential, safe, compound yet irreducible, core to extremity, high power
producing.
Describe intensity - answer Intensity is defined exactly as power. High intensity allows for
shorter, high cardio sessions.
What is the relationship between intensity and results? - answer Intensity is the independent
variable most commonly associated with maximizing the rate of return of favorable adaptation
to exercise. Intensity and and functional movements are more effective at creating results.
What is variance? - answer Variance means unknown and unknowable events. The model we
offer allows for wide variance of mode, exercise, metabolic pathway, rest, intensity, sets, and
reps.
What are the four supporting models of Crossfit's definition of fitness. - answer The 10 general
physical skills; The Hopper; The Metabolic Pathways; Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum.
,What are the 10 general physical skills? Why is this model important in defining fitness. - answer
stamina, balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, speed, power, agility, cardiovascular
respiratory endurance, and accuracy. You are as fit as you are competent in each of these skills.
What is The Hopper Model? Why is this model important in defining fitness? - answer Random
tasks to accomplish; The implication here is that fitness requires an ability to perform well at all
tasks, even unfamiliar tasks, tasks combined in infinitely varying combinations.
What are the Metabolic Pathways? Why is this model important in defining fitness? - answer
They provide energy; They are Phosphocreatine, Glycolytic, and Oxidative. A fit person should
be competent in all pathways.
Describe the Phosphocreatine Pathway. - answer Anaerobic (absence of oxygen); 10 second
intervals; 100 meter dash.
Describe the Glycolytic Pathway. - answer Anaerobic (absence of oxygen); 120 second intervals;
400 meter sprint.
Describe the Oxidative Pathway. - answer Aerobic (uses oxygen); more than 120 seconds; mile
run.
What is the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum? Why is this model important in defining
fitness? - answer Every measurable value of health will fall somewhere on this continuum.
Fitness (crossfit) provides protection against the ravages of time and disease.
What's the difference between training and practice? - answer Training refers to improving the
10 general physical skills (I think) whereas practice refers to sport specific skills.
How does the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum relate to health? - answer sickness, wellness,
and fitness are different measures of a single quality: health.
, Define the power curve. - answer The area under which is your work capacity across broad time
and modal domains (your "fitness").
What is work capacity? How is work capacity illustrated in the power curve? - answer One's
fitness at a certain time in one's life. (I think) I think it's illustrated by time, age, and power.
What is technique? - answer Proper technique is the mechanism by which potential human
energy and strength are translated into real work capacity.
What are the three macronutrients in our diet? Give an example of each. - answer Protein -
meat
Carbohydrates - broccoli
Fat - Butter
What's crossfit's definition of health? - answer health is defined as work capacity across broad
time and modal domains throughout life. sustained fitness.
Describe the roles of hormones, like insulin and glucagon, for blood sugar control - answer
Insulin regulates the sugar in our blood.
Articulate the effects a highly refined and processed carbohydrate diet can have on health -
answer It can lead to increased insulin levels.
Define hyperinsulinemia - answer Hyperinsulinemia is the chronic and acute elevation of insulin
as a result of habitual consumption of excess carbohydrate.
Articulate the dangers of chronically elevated insulin levels. - answer Elevated insulin levels can
lead to coronary disease, cancer, and Alzheimers
