Crossfit level 1 participant handbook QUESTIONS &
ANSWERS 2025 ( A+ GRADED 100% VERIFIED)
Define Crossfit - (ANSWER)A core strengthing program made up of constantly
varied high intensity functional movements
Articulate the 7 characteristics of Functional Movements - (ANSWER)Natural
Universal Motor Recruitment Patterns
Essential
Safe
compound yet Irreducible
Core to Extremity
High Power Producing
Functional Movement Characteristic: Natural - (ANSWER)involve multiple joint
movements
Functional Movement Characteristic: Universal Motor Recruitment Patterns -
(ANSWER)Found in every day life
Functional Movement Characteristic: Essential - (ANSWER)to independent living
and quality of life and inhibits increpitude
Functional Movement Characteristic: Safe - (ANSWER)mechanically sound and
therefore safe
, 2
Functional Movement Characteristic: Compound yet Irrducible - (ANSWER)you
can't breakdown into individaul movements and get the same benefit
Functional Movement Characteristic: Core to Extemity - (ANSWER)Midline
stablization
Functional Movement Characteristic: High-Power Producing - (ANSWER)Load,
Distance, Speed
What is the most important characteristic - (ANSWER)to move a large load a long
distance and to do it quickly
Define and Calculate Work - (ANSWER)ability to perform real physical work
force x distance
Define and Calculate Power - (ANSWER)time rate of doing work(force) x
distance/time
Understand how relative changes in force, distance, and time change power
output. - (ANSWER)100 pounds moved 20ft in 1 min= 2000ft/min
100 pounds moved 20ft in 10 min= 200 ft/min
10pounds moved 20ft in 1 min=200 ft/min
, 3
Describe intensity and how it is related to power - (ANSWER)power=intensity
Intensity is power
intensity is the independent variable commonly associated with max favourable
adaption to exercise
Articulate the relationship between intensity and results - (ANSWER)intensity
bring results
Explain the concept of 'failing at the margins of you experience' and how it relates
to variance in crossfit - (ANSWER)constant variance prepares you at your margins
of experience to prevent failure at margins of experience
Define Variance - (ANSWER)prep for random physical challenges, and unknown
and unknowable
Define General Physical Preparedness GPP/ and identify the relationship of
variance to GPP - (ANSWER)GPP is broad, general, and inclusive and variance
creates this general condition
Expalin the concept of "failing at the margins of your experience" and how it
relates to variance in CF - (ANSWER)constant variance prepares you at your
margins of experience to prevent failure at margins of expereince
Articulate the difference between specialization and CF - (ANSWER)speicalization
is focusing on specific skills and CF is variance...specialty is not specialization
, 4
Articulate Crossfit's definition of fitness - (ANSWER)increased work capacit over
broad time and modal domains
What are the 4 supporting models - (ANSWER)10 general physial skills
the hopper
metabolic pathways
Sickness-wellness-fitness continumm
Define 10 general physical skills - (ANSWER)balance of physiological adaptation
Define Hopper - (ANSWER)is statistical and is a measure of an athlete performing
relatively well at any physical task thrown his way
Fitness requires an ability to perform well at all tasks, even unfamiliar tasks, tasks
combined in infinitely varying combinations
Balance of skills and drills
Define Metabolic Pathways - (ANSWER)These pathways provide the energy for all
human action
fittest is balanced across the 3 pathways:
Phosphogen: 5-10secs
glycolytic(lactate) 60-120 secs
