Crossfit level 1 certification questions and
answers 2026\2027 A+ Grade
Definition of Crossfit
- correct answer constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement
(also known as Crossfits prescription)
What is functional movement
- correct answer load, distance, and speed for production of high power
Define intensity
- correct answer power
(intensity is the independent variable)
Crossfit methodology:
- correct answer safety, efficacy, and efficiency
(the 3 most important and interdependent facets to evaluate any fitness program, can be supported
only by measurable, observable, repeatable data)
10 fitness domains of Crossfit:
- correct answer cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed,
coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy
Define athlete
- correct answer a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical
strength, agility, or stamina
,Define Crossfit athlete
- correct answer a person who is skilled or trained in strength, power, balance, and agility, flexibility, and
endurance
How is energy derived?
- correct answer aerobically when O2 is utilized to metabolize substrates derived from food and
liberates energy
Aerobic activity:
- correct answer are usually greater than 90 seconds in duration and involve low to moderate power
output or intensity
Ex: running on treadmill for 20 min, swimming a mile, watching TV
Anaerobic activity:
- correct answer energy is liberated from substances in the absence of O2; these activities are of less
than 2 min in duration and involve moderate to high power output intensity
Ex: 100 m sprint, squatting, pull ups
Anaerobic systems:
- correct answer phosphagen and glycolytic (lactic acid)
2 Olympic lifts:
- correct answer clean and jerk and snatch
(they train athletes to activate more muscle fibers more rapidly more than through any other modality
of training; develop an athletes explosive power, control of external objects, and mastery of critical
motor recruitment patterns)
Hormonal responses vital to athletic development:
- correct answer increased in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and human growth hormone
Adaptive responses to exercises capable of producing a significant neuroendocrine response:
- correct answer mass and bone density
, Power
- correct answer time rate of doing work; also the definition of intensity
What is associated with high neuroendocrine response?
- correct answer heavy load weight lifting, short rest between sets, high heart rates, high intensity
training, short rest intervals
Cross training vs Crossfit
- correct answer cross training is participating in several sports and Crossfit views cross training as
exceeding the normal parameters of the regular demands of your sport training
Functional movement:
- correct answer are mechanically sound and therefor safe, and secondly they are the movements that
elicit a high neuroendocrine response
Crossfit diet:
- correct answer protein 30%; carbohydrates 40%; fat 30%
Protein:
- correct answer total calories based on protein needs which should be between 0.7 and 1.0 grams of
protein per pound of lean body mass
High glycemic carbohydrates:
- correct answer raise blood sugar too rapidly
Ex: rice, bread, candy, potato, sweets, sodas
Crossfits 10 general physical skills:
- correct answer cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed,
coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy
Training refers to:
- correct answer activity that improves performance through a measurable organic change in the body
