ANSWERS UPDATED 2026

Definition of Crossfit - CORRECT ANSWER -constantly
varied, high intensity, functional movement (also known as
Crossfits prescription)
How is energy derived? - CORRECT ANSWER -
aerobically when O2 is utilized to metabolize substrates
derived from food and liberates energy
Aerobic activity: - CORRECT ANSWER -are usually
greater than 90 seconds in duration and involve low to
moderate power output or intensity
,Ex: running on treadmill for 20 min, swimming a mile,
watching TV
Anaerobic activity: - CORRECT ANSWER -energy is
liberated from substances in the absence of O2; these
activities are of less than 2 min in duration and involve
moderate to high power output intensity
Ex: 100 m sprint, squatting, pull ups
Anaerobic systems: - CORRECT ANSWER -phosphagen
and glycolytic (lactic acid)
2 Olympic lifts: - CORRECT ANSWER -clean and jerk and
snatch
(they train athletes to activate more muscle fibers more
rapidly more than through any other modality of training;
develop an athletes explosive power, control of external
objects, and mastery of critical motor recruitment patterns)
,Hormonal responses vital to athletic development: -
CORRECT ANSWER -increased in testosterone, insulin-like
growth factor, and human growth hormone
Adaptive responses to exercises capable of producing a
significant neuroendocrine response: -
CORRECT ANSWER -mass and bone density
Power - CORRECT ANSWER -time rate of doing work;
also the definition of intensity
What is functional movement - CORRECT ANSWER -load,
distance, and speed for production of high power
Define intensity - CORRECT ANSWER -power
(intensity is the independent variable)
, Crossfit methodology: - CORRECT ANSWER -safety,
efficacy, and efficiency
(the 3 most important and interdependent facets to evaluate
any fitness program, can be supported only by measurable,
observable, repeatable data)
10 fitness domains of Crossfit: - CORRECT ANSWER -
cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength,
flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and
accuracy
Define athlete - CORRECT ANSWER -a person who is
trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring
physical strength, agility, or stamina
Define Crossfit athlete - CORRECT ANSWER -a person
who is skilled or trained in strength, power, balance, and
agility, flexibility, and endurance
