CROSSFIT LEVEL 2 COMPREHENSIVE EXAM
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
STUDY GUIDE
●● Six criteria for effective training development (Foundations of
Effective Training)
Answer: • Teaching
• Seeing
• Correcting
• Group Management
• Presence and Attitude
• Demonstration
●● The ability to effectively articulate and instruct the mechanics of
each movement
Answer: Teaching
●● The ability to distinguish good from poor movement mechanics and
identify both gross and subtle faults whether the athlete is in motion or
static
Answer: Seeing
●● What are the two types of faults
,Answer: Static and Dynamic
●● The points at which the athlete is not moving, even briefly
Answer: Static
●● When do static positions usually occur?
Answer: near the end ranges of motion, either in the starting, receiving
or finishing position - or when there is a brief pause or decreased speed
due to a change in direction
●● Why are dynamic faults more difficult to identify
Answer: because of the decreased time for assessment
●● The difficulty in seeing dynamic faults increases as:
Answer: • the athlete moves more quickly
• the faults become more subtle
●● The ability to facilitate better mechanics for an athlete using visual,
verbal, and/or tactile cues. This includes the ability to triage (prioritize)
faults in order of importance, which requires and understanding of how
multiple faults are related
Answer: Correcting
, ●● If capacity is limited in either ________ or ________ a trainer's
capacity in correcting will also be weak
Answer: teaching or seeing
●● Correcting athletes relies on the trainer's ability to:
Answer: 1. use successful cues
2. know multiple corrections for each fault
3. triage faulty movement
4. balance critique with praise
●● Basic three-step process for developing short, specific and actionable
cues:
Answer: 1. identify the fault
2. identify what is out of place
3. give direction to that body part
●● _____________ cues tell the athlete a specific instruction
Answer: verbal
●● _____________ cues create contrasting images between current and
preferred positioning
Answer: visual
