Crossfit Level 1 Cert. Exam Questions and Answers A+ Grade

Aim - ANSWER -Broad, general, inclusive fitness. Not only for the unknown, but also the unknowable. Skills and adaptations that most universally lend themselves to performance advantage. Specialty is not specializing. Prescription - ANSWER -Constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement. Universal motor recruitment patterns. Multi-joint movements (compound movements). Natural, effective, and efficient locomotor of body and eal objects. Capacity to move large loans over long distances, and to do so quickly. LOAD, SPEED, AND DISTANCE- qualify functional movements for the production of high-power. Intensity is power and is independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing rate of return of favorable adaptations to excercise. Methodology - ANSWER -Empirical. Safety, efficacy, and efficiency- measurable, observable, and repeatable data. Evidence-based fitness. Methods, results and criticisms. Empirically driven, clinically tested, and community developed. Implementation - ANSWER -sport of fitness. natural camaraderie, competition, and fun of sport or game yields an intensity that cannot be matched by other means. "The fear of sporting failure is worse than the fear of death. Men will die for points. Adaptations - ANSWER -Evidence-based fitness, crossfit increases work capacity across broad time and modal domains. Publicly posting performance data, co-developing our program in collaboration with other coaches, and our open-source charter in general has well positioned us to garner important lessons from our program- to learn precisely and accurately, that is about the adaptations elicited by CrossFit. Not trade improvements in any other fitness metric for a decrease in work capacity. Foundations - ANSWER -Physical competence in each of 10 fitness domains. Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. Bike, run, swim, and row at short, middle, and long distances. Olympic weightlifting to develop explosive power, control of external objects, and mastery of critical motor recruitment patterns. Variety of sports as a vehicle to express and apply their fitness. Athlete - ANSWER -greater bone density, stronger immune systems, less coronary heart disease, reduced cancer risk, fewer stroked, and less depression. A person who is trained or skilled in strength, power, balance and agility, flexibility, and endurance. Fitness=health=athleticism Fringe athletes - ANSWER -CrossFit considers the sumo wrestler, triathlete, marathoner, and power lifter to be _________ athletes because their fitness demands are so specialized as to be inconsistent with the adaptations that give maximum competency at all physical challenges. 10 general physical skills - ANSWER -Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. Aerobic - ANSWER -when the majority of energy needed is derived aerobically. Usually greater than 90 seconds in duration and involve low to moderate power output or intensity. Examples include running on treadmill for 20 mins, swimming a mile, or watching TV.
