Crossift Level 1 Exam with Questions and Answers

Crossift Level 1 Exam with Questions and Answers Aim of Crossfit - answerbroad, general and inclusive fitness Prescription - answerconstantly varied, high intensity, functional movement Functional movement - answerload, distance and speed Diet - answerlays the molecular foundations for fitness and health. Metabolic Conditioning - answerbuilds capacity in each of three metabolic pathways, beginning with aerobic, then lactic acid, and then phosphocreatine pathways Gymnastics - answerestablishes functional capacity for body control and range of motion. Weightlifting and throwing - answerdevelop ability to control external objects and produce power. Sport - answerapplies fitness in competitive atmosphere with more randomized movements and skill mastery two anaerobic systems - answerthe phosphagen system and the lactic acid system two Olympic lifts - answerthe clean and jerk and the snatch olympic lifts train athletes to... - answereffectively 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... - answerdevelop 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... - answerits 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? - answerpull-ups, squats, lunges, jumping, push- ups, and numerous presses to handstand, scales, and holds. Gymnastics is... - answerthe ultimate approach to improving coordination, balance, agility, accuracy, and flexibility. CrossFit program embraces... - answershort, 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... - answersubstantial increases in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and human growth hormone Neuroendocrine adaptation - answera 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 - answertime rate of doing work what is associated with a high neuroendocrine response? - answerHeavy load weight training, short rest between sets, high heart rates, high intensity training, and short rest intervals Cross training - answerexceeding the normal parameters of the regular demands of your sport or training types of cross training - answerfunctional, 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 - answerneuroendocrine response, power, cross training, functional movement Functional Movements - answermovements 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: - answerProtein 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. What is t he problem with high-glycemic carbohydrates? - answerthey give an inordinate insulin response. the three most important and interdependent facets of any fitness program - answersafety, efficacy, and efficiency. They can be supported only by measurable, observable, repeatable facts, i.e., data. We call this approach "evidence-based fitness". Crossfit is... - answerThe sport of fitness a core strength and conditioning program CrossFit increases... - answerwork capacity across broad time and modal domains. The ten recognized fitness domains. - answerCardiovascular and Respiratory endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance, and Accuracy. What types of movements does Crossfit work with? - answerwith compound movements and shorter high intensity cardiovascular sessions CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program in what two distinct senses - answerthe fitness we develop is foundational to all other athletic needs and our work focuses on the major functional axis of the human body, the extension and flexion, of the hips and extension, flexion, and rotation of the torso or trunk.
