What is crossfit - CORRECT ANSWER-Constantly varied functional movements executed at high
intensity
Constantly varied - CORRECT ANSWER-General physical preparedness (GPP)
What is General Physical Preparedness - CORRECT ANSWER-Term used to describe the generalised
base qualities of an athlete
What's the aim of GPP - CORRECT ANSWER-To establish a board foundational fitness level that can
then be converted and applied throughout a wide range of tasks hoping to consistently make gains
in the 10 general physical skills of fitness which prepares you for any physical challenge
What is functional movement - CORRECT ANSWER-Natural seen in nature, universal motor
recruitment patterns, essential to quality of life, compound yet irreducible, core to extremity =
efficiency
What is UMRP - CORRECT ANSWER-Universal motor recruitment patterns
Name the CrossFit models - CORRECT ANSWER-1 - Ten general physical skills
2 - The Hopper
3 - Three metabolic pathways
,4 - Sickness Wellness Fitness Continuum
What are the 10 general physical skills? - CORRECT ANSWER-1 - cardio & respiratory endurance
2 - stamina
3 - strength
4 - flexibility
5 - power
6 - speed
7 - coordination
8 - agility
9 - balance
10 - accuracy
Out of the 10 general physical skills which are organic and require training - CORRECT ANSWER-
CVRE
Stamina
Strength
Flexibility
Out of the 10 general physical skills which are neurological and requires practice - CORRECT
ANSWER-Agility
Balance
Accuracy
Coordination
Out of the 10 general physical skills which are both organic and neurological and require training an
practice - CORRECT ANSWER-Power
Speed
What's the aim of the Hopper? - CORRECT ANSWER-Physical challenge lottery
Measurable tasks
Quantifiable
,Balance of skills and drills
The performance of athletic tasks, fitness is about being able to perform well at any task imaginable.
This model suggests that your fitness can be measured by your capacity to perform well at these
tasks in relation to other individuals.
Name the 3 metabolic pathways? - CORRECT ANSWER-1 - Phosphagen
2 - glycolytic
3 - oxidative
Define Phosphagen Pathway - CORRECT ANSWER-Typically anaerobic,
100% high power - low time activities
10 seconds or less
Typically 100m sprint or shot put
1 rep max on deadlift
Type 2b muscle fibres
Define glycolytic pathway - CORRECT ANSWER-Mix of Anaerobic and aerobic
No more then 2 mins work
Typically 400m sprint
70% power/effort
Type 2a muscles fibres
Define oxidative pathway - CORRECT ANSWER-Aerobic
Anything over 2 mins work capacity
Low intensity efforts 40%
Type 1 muscle fibres
Marathon runners, triathlons etc.
What is the 4th CrossFit model? - CORRECT ANSWER-Sickness, well, fit continuum model
Define the 4th model - CORRECT ANSWER-Health makers measuring from sickness to fitness
, Parameters at mainly sickness, wellness and fitness
Health makers measurements such as:
Resting heart rate
Blood pressure
Deadlift weight
Markers should move towards fitness
Work capacity across a broad time and modal domains
Add third axis being age for health
So fitness can be defined as - CORRECT ANSWER-Work capacity across a broad time and model
domains
What are the major lifts involved CF? - CORRECT ANSWER-Deadlift
Squat
Clean
Presses
Clean & jerk
Snatch
Explain the general guide on macronutrients - CORRECT ANSWER-Meat, vegetables, nuts & seeds,
some fruit, little starch, no sugar.keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
What are the basic moves in the gymnastic section? - CORRECT ANSWER-Pull ups
Dips
Rope climbs
Push ups
