CROSSFIT LEVEL 1 CERTIFICATION
EXAMINATION TEST VERIFIED QUESTIONS
AND SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
●● What is functional movement
Answer: load, distance, and speed for production of high power
●● Define intensity
Answer: power
(intensity is the independent variable)
●● Crossfit methodology:
Answer: safety, 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:
Answer: cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength,
flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy
●● Define athlete
,Answer: a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games
requiring physical strength, agility, or stamina
●● Define Crossfit athlete
Answer: a person who is skilled or trained in strength, power, balance,
and agility, flexibility, and endurance
●● How is energy derived?
Answer: aerobically when O2 is utilized to metabolize substrates derived
from food and liberates energy
●● Aerobic activity:
Answer: are 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:
Answer: energy 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:
Answer: phosphagen and glycolytic (lactic acid)
, ●● 2 Olympic lifts:
Answer: clean 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:
Answer: increased in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and human
growth hormone
●● Adaptive responses to exercises capable of producing a significant
neuroendocrine response:
Answer: mass and bone density
●● Power
Answer: time rate of doing work; also the definition of intensity
●● What is associated with high neuroendocrine response?
Answer: heavy load weight lifting, short rest between sets, high heart
rates, high intensity training, short rest intervals
●● Cross training vs Crossfit
