Crossfit Level 1 Exam GUARANTEED PASS !!
What is the main goal of Crossfit? - (ANSWER)To increase an individual's competency and
abilities at all physical tasks
What are the 10 fitness domains Crossfit can improve? What are their definitions? - (ANSWER)-
Cardiovascular endurance: Ability of a body system to gather, deliver, and utilize oxygen
- Stamina: Ability of body processes to process, deliver, store, and utilize energy systems
- Strength: Ability of a muscle joint, or multiple muscular units, to apply force
- Flexibility: Ability to maximize ROM at a given joint
- Power: Ability of a muscle unit, or multiple muscular units, to apply force over time
- Speed: The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement
- Coordination: Ability to combine several movement patterns into a distinct movement
- Agility: ability to minimze transition time from one movement pattern to another
- Balance: Ability to place center of gravity in relation to base of support
- Accuracy: Ability to control movement in a given direction at a given intensity
How is Crossfit different from typical training approaches? - (ANSWER)Crossfit utilizes high-
intensity compound movements and workouts that are geared to increase overall athletic
performance. More holistic than specialized isolated exercise
What are the main exercises and training practices at Crossfit? - (ANSWER)Metabolic
conditioning, gymnastic movements, olympic lifts, some isometric movements, and sports
activities
What does "Core Strength and Conditioning Program" Mean? - (ANSWER)2 senses of the word
Core:
1. The workouts and exercises of crossfit are the core backbone of any athletic endeavor
2. It's literally exercising for your core (abs) and the functional axis of the body

, In Crossfit's view, why is there so much disease? - (ANSWER)They believe that fitness and
health are about the same thing. There are 3 types of ways your health can be: Sick, normal, or
above normal. If your athletics are above normal, your amount of health will be above normal
and your chance of sickness and disease will be low
What is the optimal training frequency and duration in Crossfit? - (ANSWER)Anywhere from 45
minutes- 1 hour 5-6 days a week. Additional time isn't necessary if your training is high-
intensity. More training and practice per day could be spent on specific skills for sports
Is aerobic vs anaerobic exercise more important? - (ANSWER)Both are important. The main
distinction is in the client's goals
What is adaption's role in Crossfit? - (ANSWER)Crossfit is constantly varying the workouts to
include the 10 fitness domains, meaning the athlete is constantly adapting
What affect does Crossfit have on neuroendocrine response? - (ANSWER)Crossfit produces an
enormous response in testosterone and growth factor hormones, simply by utilizing compound
movements with large weights at high intensity. The importance of this for athletes and those
looking to get in shape is incredible.
What is Cross-training and does Crossfit utilize it? - (ANSWER)Cross-training is participating
and practicing for multiple sports. Crossfit often combines small amounts of cross-training into
their client's programs. Practicing these moves will specifically help athletes learn new skills and
improve old ones.
How does Crossfit use functional movement? - (ANSWER)All movements in crossfit are multi-
joint and compound, which are found in natural movements more often than isometric
movements. Functional movements are not only safe but elicit the highest training response.
What diet does Crossfit recommend? - (ANSWER)The zone diet, which typically recommends
30% protein, 40% carb, and 30% fat. Diet is centered around lean meats and vegetables, nuts and
seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Higher protein is recommended for more elite
athletes.
