CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Test/ 139 Qs & Ans/
2024-2025.
Metabolic Pathways
3 Metabolic ways to provide energy to the body
1. Phosphagen (quick)-- Anerobic(atp wothou oxygen)
2. Glycolytic (quick but not fast)-- Anerobix
3. Oxidative (long time)--aerobic(arp with oxygen)
Sickness and Wellness
The sick, well, and fit continuum can be plotted. There is a sick side, well is in the
middle, and the right side is fit. if all your numbers are on the right if you if you do
get sick you have a better chance of getting well sooner.
Which 10 Physical Skills improve by training (4), practice (4) and both (2)?
1. Endurance
2. Stamina
3. Strength
4. Flexibility
Page 1 of 27
,1. Coordination
2. Agility
3. Balance
4. Accuracy
1. Power
2. Speed
Identify and Explain the 3 Metabolic Pathways
Anaerobic: Moderate to high power lasting less than several minutes (interval
training)
1. Phosphagen
2. Glycolytic
Aerobic: Low power lasting longer than several minutes
3. Oxidative
Interval Training is key for:
developing cardiovascular system without the loss of speed, strength, and power.
What is the Theoretically Hierarchy of the Development of an Athlete?
Nutrition, Metabolic Conditioning, Gymnastics, Weightlifting & Throwing, Sport.
(It's the pyramid)
Describe Sickness and Wellness Continuum
Nearly every measurable value of health can be placed on a continuum that
ranges from sickness to wellness to fitness. I.E. -
high blood pressure -sickness(pathological)
normal blood pressure- Wellness(normal or healthy)
above normal- fitness( athlete)
How does the Sickness and Wellness relates to heath to fitness?

, Fitness is and should be "super-wellness." Sickness, wellness, and fitness are
measures of the same entity. Health is sustained fitness and wellness is not being
sick
Identify and interpret the power curve:
Fitness can be graphed in two-dimensions with duration of effort on the x-axis and
power on the y-axis. By graphing your average power capacity across a variety of
domains (skills & drills) you create a power curve that represents your 'fitness'. By
adding age as the z-axis, the power curve takes three dimensional shape and
defines your health or sustained fitness.
How is work capacity illustrated by the power curve?
Duration of effort is graphed on the x-axis and power is graphed on the y-axis
(power/time)
The goal of Crossfit relation to the power curve?
CrossFit can accurately predict improvements in work capacity, expanding the
individuals power curve. This is a mathematical representation of increased
'fitness
How does CF definition of fitness and health differ from conventional definitions?
Concepts of measurable, observable and repeatable and lend them self to CF
being evidence based:
Science is about measurement and prediction. Without measurable, observable
and repeatable data concerning the fundamental physical units of
kinematics(load, distance and time ot MKS) there is no science of human
performance
Define Technique
the movements or positions used to accomplish a task.
How does technique affect work accomplished and energy expended:
Technique maximizes the work completed for the energy expended. The best
technique is able to do the most amount of work with the least energy spent.
How does technique confers safety, efficacy and efficiency?
