CROSSFIT L1 UPDATED COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS VERIFIED
PREPARATION RESOURCE
●● 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
