CrossFit Level 1 TEST STUDY QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS.
What is crossfit - Answer - Constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity.
The aims, prescription, methodology, implementation, and adaptations of CrossFit - Answer - to forge a
broad general and inclusive fitness Prepare for the unknown and unknowable.
Characteristics of functional movements - Answer - natural, universal motor recruitment patterns,
essential, safe, compound yet irreducible, core to extremity, power.
Most Important characteristic of Functional Movements - Answer - their capacity to move large loads
over long distances, and to do so quickly.
Define and calculate work - Answer - ability to perform real physical work
Force X Distance = Work
Define and calculate power - Answer - Intensity is defined exactly as power, and intensity is the
independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing the rate of return of favorable
adaptation to exercise. Force X Distance / Time = Power
Understand how relative changes in force, distance, and time change power output: - Answer - 100
pounds moved 20ft in 1 min= 2000ib ft/min
100 pounds moved 20ft in 10 min= 200ib ft/min
10pounds moved 20ft in 1 min=200ib ft/min
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 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.
Define 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.
, Define General Physical Preparedness - Answer - GPP, the generalized base qualities of an athlete. the
aim is to establish a broad foundational fitness level that can then be converted and applied throughout
a wide range of tasks hoping to consistently make gains in the 10 General Physical Skills of Fitness which
prepares you for any physical challenge
Explain failing at the margins of your experience and how it relates to variance - Answer - Constant
variance prepares you at your margins of experience to prevent failure at margins of experience
Articulate the difference between specialization and CrossFit - Answer - Specialization is focusing on 1
set of skills, CF is varied skills.
Articulate CrossFit's definition of fitness and health, and their relationship - Answer - Fitness- Work
Capacity across broad time and modal domains.
Health- Fitness definition through out life.
Identify the 4 supporting models of CrossFit - Answer - -10 general physical skills
-The Hopper
-Metabolic pathways Sickness-Wellness-Fitness
-Fitness Continuum
10 general physical skills - Answer - (Organic)
1. cardiovascular/respiratory endurance
2. stamina
3. strength
4. flexibility
(Both)
5. power
6. speed
(Neurological)
7. coordination
8. agility
9. balance
10. accuracy
