Crossfit Level 1 Trainer Top Predicted Questions and Correct Answers 2024

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. mechanically sound and therefore safe, and secondly they are the movements that elicit a high neuroendocrine response. CrossFit dietary prescription is as follows: - 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.
