Certification | Questions and Answers
ALREADY GRADED A+
What is The Hopper Model? Why is this model important in defining
fitness? - ANSWERS-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? - ANSWERS-They provide energy; They are
Phosphocreatine, Glycolytic, and Oxidative. A fit person should be
competent in all pathways.
Describe the Phosphocreatine Pathway. - ANSWERS-Anaerobic
(absence of oxygen); 10 second intervals; 100 meter dash.
Describe the Glycolytic Pathway. - ANSWERS-Anaerobic (absence of
oxygen); 120 second intervals; 400 meter sprint.
Describe the Oxidative Pathway. - ANSWERS-Aerobic (uses oxygen);
more than 120 seconds; mile run.
,What is the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum? Why is this model
important in defining fitness? - ANSWERS-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? - ANSWERS-
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? -
ANSWERS-sickness, wellness, and fitness are different measures of a
single quality: health.
Define the power curve. - ANSWERS-The area under which is your work
capacity across broad time and modal domains (your "fitness").
What is Crossfit? - ANSWERS-constantly varied, high-intensity,
functional movement
What is power? - ANSWERS-the time rate of doing work
What is the most important characteristic of functional movement? -
ANSWERS-Capacity to move large loads over long distance (high power
producing)
What are the characteristics of functional movement? - ANSWERS-
natural, universal motor recruitment patterns, essential, safe,
compound yet irreducible, core to extremity, high power producing.
, Describe intensity - ANSWERS-Intensity is defined exactly as power.
High intensity allows for shorter, high cardio sessions.
What is the relationship between intensity and results? - ANSWERS-
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? - ANSWERS-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. -
ANSWERS-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. - ANSWERS-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 work capacity? How is work capacity illustrated in the power
curve? - ANSWERS-One's fitness at a certain time in one's life. (I think)
I think it's illustrated by time, age, and power.
