Crossfit Level 1 Exam Study Guide Questions
and Answers 100% Pass
Aim of Crossfit - ✔✔broad, general and inclusive fitness
Prescription - ✔✔constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement
Functional movement - ✔✔load, distance and speed
Diet - ✔✔lays the molecular foundations for fitness and health.
Metabolic Conditioning - ✔✔builds capacity in each of three metabolic pathways, beginning with
aerobic, then lactic acid, and then phosphocreatine pathways
Gymnastics - ✔✔establishes functional capacity for body control and range of motion.
Weightlifting and throwing - ✔✔develop ability to control external objects and produce power.
Sport - ✔✔applies fitness in competitive atmosphere with more randomized movements and skill
mastery
two anaerobic systems - ✔✔the phosphagen system and the lactic acid system
two Olympic lifts - ✔✔the clean and jerk and the snatch
olympic lifts train athletes to... - ✔✔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... - ✔✔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... - ✔✔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? - ✔✔pull-ups, squats, lunges, jumping, push-ups, and numerous
presses to handstand, scales, and holds.
Gymnastics is... - ✔✔the ultimate approach to improving coordination, balance, agility, accuracy, and
flexibility.
CrossFit program embraces... - ✔✔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... - ✔✔substantial increases in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and human
growth hormone

, Neuroendocrine adaptation - ✔✔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 - ✔✔time rate of doing work
what is associated with a high neuroendocrine response? - ✔✔Heavy load weight training, short rest
between
sets, high heart rates, high intensity training, and short
rest intervals
Cross training - ✔✔exceeding the normal parameters of the regular demands of your sport or training
types of cross training - ✔✔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 - ✔✔neuroendocrine response, power, cross training,
functional movement
Functional Movements - ✔✔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.
