CROSSFIT LEVEL 1 CERTIFICATION ACTUAL
EXAM PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS 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
