CROSSFIT LEVEL 1 TEST QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE
ANSWERS
(T/F) While there is a single definition for CrossFit, a conversational
explanation may work best prior to an athlete's first exposure.
Accurate Answer - True
Clearly defining CrossFit as constantly varied functional movement executed
at high intensity allows us to: Accurate Answer - 1)dispel any myths or
misconceptions about the program.
2)use the program to effectively train ourselves.
3)use the program to effectively train others.
The foundation of any fitness program is: Accurate Answer - the
movements it includes on a regular basis.
KEY POINTS: DESCRIBING FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS Accurate
Answer - 1)Functional movements are natural. They follow universal motor
recruitment patterns that create a wave of contraction from core to extremity.
2)
Functional movements are compound yet irreducible.
3)
Functional movements are essential to independent living and a high quality
of life.
4)
Functional movements are safe relative to their non-functional counterparts.
Functional movements are considered natural human movement patterns
based on which of the following? Accurate Answer - Life demands we
perform them. They are built into our DNA.
, Functional movements are based on ___________ yet irreducible movement
patterns. Accurate Answer - compound
Natural Accurate Answer - No formal instruction is needed to perform
the movement
Essential Accurate Answer - Rehabilitation for decrepitude
Universal motor recruitment patterns Accurate Answer - A universal
sequencing of motor units
Safe Accurate Answer - Relatively low-risk at and above 1-repetition-
maximum loads
Compound yet irreducible Accurate Answer - A multi-joint movement
that creates a response greater than the sum of its parts
Core to extremity Accurate Answer - A relay of contraction from large
to small movers of the body
KEY POINTS: DEFINING FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS Accurate Answer -
1
The defining characteristic of functional movements is their ability to move
large loads over long distances, quickly.
2
"Large loads over long distances, quickly" contains the variables used in the
power formula: force x distance / time = average power.
3
Functional movements are therefore unique in their ability to produce power.
4
Force, distance, and time are easily recorded as the load lifted, repetitions
performed, and time taken to complete the task.
