CrossFit L1 Certification/ 179 Qs with Certified
Ans/ 2024-2025.
What is CrossFit? - Answer: constantly varied, high-intensity, functional
movement
What is power? - Answer: the time rate of doing work
What is the most important characteristic of functional movement? - Answer:
Capacity to move large loads over long distance (high power producing)
What are the characteristics of functional movement? - Answer: natural, universal
motor recruitment patterns, essential, safe, compound yet irreducible, core to
extremity, high power producing.

,Describe intensity - Answer: Intensity is defined exactly as power. High intensity
allows for shorter, high cardio sessions.
What is the relationship between intensity and results? - Answer: Intensity is the
independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing the rate of
return of favorable adaptation to exercise. Intensity and and functional
movements are more effective at creating results.
What is variance? - Answer: Variance means unknown and unknowable events.
The model we offer allows for wide variance of mode, exercise, metabolic
pathway, rest, intensity, sets, and reps.
What are the four supporting models of Crossfit's definition of fitness. - Answer:
The 10 general physical skills; The Hopper; The Metabolic Pathways; Sickness-
Wellness-Fitness Continuum.
What are the 10 general physical skills? Why is this model important in defining
fitness. - Answer: stamina, balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, speed,
power, agility, cardiovascular respiratory endurance, and accuracy. You are as fit as
you are competent in each of these skills.
What is The Hopper Model? Why is this model important in defining fitness? -
Answer: Random tasks to accomplish; The implication here is that fitness requires
Page 2 of 27
, an ability to perform well at all tasks, even unfamiliar tasks, tasks combined in
infinitely varying combinations.
What are the Metabolic Pathways? Why is this model important in defining
fitness? - Answer: They provide energy; They are Phosphocreatine, Glycolytic, and
Oxidative. A fit person should be competent in all pathways.
Describe the Phosphocreatine Pathway. - Answer: Anaerobic (absence of oxygen);
10 second intervals; 100 meter dash.
Describe the Glycolytic Pathway. - Answer: Anaerobic (absence of oxygen); 120
second intervals; 400 meter sprint.
Describe the Oxidative Pathway. - Answer: Aerobic (uses oxygen); more than 120
seconds; mile run.
What is the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum? Why is this model important in
defining fitness? - Answer: Every measurable value of health will fall somewhere
on this continuum. Fitness (crossfit) provides protection against the ravages of
time and disease.
What's the difference between training and practice? - Answer: Training refers to
improving the 10 general physical skills (I think) whereas practice refers to sport
specific skills.
