CROSSIFT LEVEL 1 QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE
ANSWERS
Aim of Crossfit Accurate Answer - broad, general and inclusive fitness
Prescription Accurate Answer - constantly varied, high intensity,
functional movement
Functional movement Accurate Answer - load, distance and speed
Diet Accurate Answer - lays the molecular foundations for fitness and
health.
Metabolic Conditioning Accurate Answer - builds capacity in each of
three metabolic pathways, beginning with aerobic, then lactic acid, and then
phosphocreatine pathways
Gymnastics Accurate Answer - establishes functional capacity for body
control and range of motion.
Weightlifting and throwing Accurate Answer - develop ability to
control external objects and produce power.
Sport Accurate Answer - applies fitness in competitive atmosphere
with more randomized movements and skill mastery
two anaerobic systems Accurate Answer - the phosphagen system and
the lactic acid system
two Olympic lifts Accurate Answer - the clean and jerk and the snatch
olympic lifts train athletes to... Accurate 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... Accurate 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... Accurate 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? Accurate Answer - pull-ups,
squats, lunges, jumping, push-ups, and numerous presses to handstand, scales,
and holds.
Gymnastics is... Accurate Answer - the ultimate approach to improving
coordination, balance, agility, accuracy, and flexibility.
CrossFit program embraces... Accurate 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... Accurate Answer - substantial increases in
testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and human growth hormone
Neuroendocrine adaptation Accurate 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 Accurate Answer - time rate of doing work
what is associated with a high neuroendocrine response? Accurate
Answer - Heavy load weight training, short rest between
sets, high heart rates, high intensity training, and short
rest intervals
, Cross training Accurate Answer - exceeding the normal parameters of
the regular demands of your sport or training
types of cross training Accurate 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 Accurate Answer -
neuroendocrine response, power, cross training, functional movement
Functional Movements Accurate 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.
CrossFit dietary prescription is as follows: Accurate Answer - Protein
should be lean and varied and account for about 30% of your total caloric
load.
Carbohydrates should be predominantly low-glycemic and account for about
40% of your total caloric load.
Fat should be predominantly monounsaturated and account for about 30% of
your total caloric load.
Calories should be set at between .7 and 1.0 grams of
protein per pound of lean body mass depending on your
activity level. The .7 figure is for moderate daily workout
loads and the 1.0 figure is for the hardcore athlete.
What is t he problem with high-glycemic carbohydrates? Accurate
Answer - they give an inordinate insulin response.
the three most important and interdependent facets of any fitness program
Accurate Answer - safety, efficacy, and efficiency. They can be supported only
by measurable, observable, repeatable facts, i.e., data. We call this approach
"evidence-based fitness".
