Crossift Level 1 Final Exam (updated)

Crossift Level 1 Final Exam (updated) Aim of Crossfit - CORRECT ANSWER-broad, general and inclusive fitness Prescription - CORRECT ANSWER-constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement Functional movement - CORRECT ANSWER-load, distance and speed Diet - CORRECT ANSWER-lays the molecular foundations for fitness and health. Metabolic Conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER-builds capacity in each of three metabolic pathways, beginning with aerobic, then lactic acid, and then phosphocreatine pathways Gymnastics - CORRECT ANSWER-establishes functional capacity for body control and range of motion. Weightlifting and throwing - CORRECT ANSWER-develop ability to control external objects and produce power. Sport - CORRECT ANSWER-applies fitness in competitive atmosphere with more randomized movements and skill mastery two anaerobic systems - CORRECT ANSWER-the phosphagen system and the lactic acid system two Olympic lifts - CORRECT ANSWER-the clean and jerk and the snatch olympic lifts train athletes to... - CORRECT ANSWER-effectively activate more muscle fibers more rapidly than through any other modality of training apply force to muscle groups in proper sequence, i.e., from the center of the body to its extremities condition the body to receive such forces from another moving body both safely and effectively (develop an athletes' explosive power, control of external objects, and mastery of critical motor recruitment patterns) studies have demonstrated the Olympic lifts unique capacity to... - CORRECT ANSWER-develop strength, muscle, power, speed, coordination, vertical leap, muscular endurance, bone strength, and the physical capacity to withstand stress extraordinary value of gymnastics as a training modality lies in... - CORRECT ANSWER-its reliance on the body's own weight as the sole source of resistance. This places a unique premium on the improvement of strength to weight ratio Gymnastics develops what movements? - CORRECT ANSWER-pull-ups, squats, lunges, jumping, push-ups, and numerous presses to handstand, scales, and holds. Gymnastics is... - CORRECT ANSWER-the ultimate approach to improving coordination, balance, agility, accuracy, and flexibility. CrossFit program embraces... - CORRECT ANSWER-short, middle, and long distance metabolic conditioning, low, moderate, and heavy load assignment. We encourage creative and continuously varied compositions Among the hormonal responses vital to athletic development are... - CORRECT ANSWER-substantial increases in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and human growth hormone Neuroendocrine adaptation - CORRECT ANSWER-a change in the body that affects you either neurologically or hormonally. Most important adaptations to exercise are in part or completely a result of a hormonal or neurological shift Power - CORRECT ANSWER-time rate of doing work what is associated with a high neuroendocrine response? - CORRECT ANSWERHeavy load weight training, short rest between sets, high heart rates, high intensity training, and short rest intervals Cross training - CORRECT ANSWER-exceeding the normal parameters of the regular demands of your sport or training types of cross training - CORRECT ANSWER-functional, metabolic, and modal. That is we regularly train past the normal motions, metabolic pathways, and modes or sports common to the athlete's sport or exercise regimen The four defining themes of the Crossfit program - CORRECT ANSWERneuroendocrine response, power, cross training, functional movement Functional Movements - CORRECT ANSWER-movements that mimic motor recruitment patterns that are found in everyday life. The bulk of isolation movements are non-functional movements. By contrast the compound or multi-joint movements are functional. mechanically sound and therefore safe, and secondly they are the movements that elicit a high neuroendocrine response.
