Crossfit level 1 certification Exam Questions with Detailed Answers.
Definition of Crossfit correct answerconstantly varied, high intensity, functional
... [Show More] movement
(also known as Crossfits prescription)
What is functional movement correct answerload, distance, and speed for production of high power
Define intensity correct answerpower
(intensity is the independent variable)
Crossfit methodology: correct answersafety, efficacy, and efficiency
(the 3 most important and interdependent facets to evaluate any fitness program, can be supported
only by measurable, observable, repeatable data)
10 fitness domains of Crossfit: correct answercardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength,
flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy
Define athlete correct answera person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring
physical strength, agility, or stamina
Define Crossfit athlete correct answera person who is skilled or trained in strength, power, balance, and
agility, flexibility, and endurance
How is energy derived? correct answeraerobically when O2 is utilized to metabolize substrates derived
from food and liberates energy
Aerobic activity: correct answerare usually greater than 90 seconds in duration and involve low to
moderate power output or intensity
Ex: running on treadmill for 20 min, swimming a mile, watching TV
Anaerobic activity: correct answerenergy is liberated from substances in the absence of O2; these
activities are of less than 2 min in duration and involve moderate to high power output intensity
Ex: 100 m sprint, squatting, pull ups
Anaerobic systems: correct answerphosphagen and glycolytic (lactic acid)
2 Olympic lifts: correct answerclean and jerk and snatch
(they train athletes to activate more muscle fibers more rapidly more than through any other modality
of training; develop an athletes explosive power, control of external objects, and mastery of critical
motor recruitment patterns)
Hormonal responses vital to athletic development: correct answerincreased in testosterone, insulin-like
growth factor, and human growth hormone
Adaptive responses to exercises capable of producing a significant neuroendocrine response: correct
answermass and bone density
Power correct answertime rate of doing work; also the definition of intensity
What is associated with high neuroendocrine response? correct answerheavy load weight lifting, short
rest between sets, high heart rates, high intensity training, short rest intervals
Cross training vs Crossfit correct answercross training is participating in several sports and Crossfit views
cross training as exceeding the normal parameters of the regular demands of your sport training
Functional movement: correct answerare mechanically sound and therefor safe, and secondly they are
the movements that elicit a high neuroendocrine response
Crossfit diet: correct answerprotein 30%; carbohydrates 40%; fat 30%
Protein: correct answertotal calories based on protein needs which should be between 0.7 and 1.0
grams of protein per pound of lean body mass
High glycemic carbohydrates: correct answerraise blood sugar too rapidly
Ex: rice, bread, candy, potato, sweets, sodas
Crossfits 10 general physical skills: correct answercardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina,
strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy
Training refers to: correct answeractivity that improves performance through a measurable organic
change in the body
Practice refers to: correct answeractivity improves performance through changes in the nervous system:
power and speed and adaptations of both training and practice
Define accuracy correct answerthe ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given
intensity
Define balance correct answerthe ability to control placement of the bodys center of gravity in relation
to its support base
Define agility correct answerthe ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to
another
Define coordination correct answerthe ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a
singular distinct movement. [Show Less]
