Crossfit Level 1 Certification Exam Questions and Answers 2024

Crossfit Level 1 Certification Exam Questions and Answers 2024 What is Crossfit? - answerconstantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement What is power? - answerthe time rate of doing work What is the most important characteristic of functional movement? - answerCapacity to move large loads over long distance (high power producing) What are the characteristics of functional movement? - answernatural, universal motor recruitment patterns, essential, safe, compound yet irreducible, core to extremity, high power producing. Describe intensity - answerIntensity is defined exactly as power. High intensity allows for shorter, high cardio sessions. What is the relationship between intensity and results? - answerIntensity 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? - answerVariance 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. - answerThe 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. - answerstamina, 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? - answerRandom tasks to accomplish; The implication here is that fitness requires 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? - answerThey provide energy; They are Phosphocreatine, Glycolytic, and Oxidative. A fit person should be competent in all pathways. Describe the Phosphocreatine Pathway. - answerAnaerobic (absence of oxygen); 10 second intervals; 100 meter dash. Describe the Glycolytic Pathway. - answerAnaerobic (absence of oxygen); 120 second intervals; 400 meter sprint. Describe the Oxidative Pathway. - answerAerobic (uses oxygen); more than 120 seconds; mile run. What is the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum? Why is this model important in defining fitness? - answerEvery 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? - answerTraining refers to improving the 10 general physical skills (I think) whereas practice refers to sport specific skills. How does the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum relate to health? - answersickness, wellness, and fitness are different measures of a single quality: health. Define the power curve. - answerThe area under which is your work capacity across broad time and modal domains (your "fitness"). What is work capacity? How is work capacity illustrated in the power curve? - answerOne's fitness at a certain time in one's life. (I think) I think it's illustrated by time, age, and power. What is technique? - answerProper technique is the mechanism by which potential human energy and strength are translated into real work capacity. What are the three macronutrients in our diet? Give an example of each. - answerProtein - meat Carbohydrates - broccoli Fat - Butter What's crossfit's definition of health? - answerhealth is defined as work capacity across broad time and modal domains throughout life. sustained fitness. Describe the roles of hormones, like insulin and glucagon, for blood sugar control - answerInsulin regulates the sugar in our blood. Articulate the effects a highly refined and processed carbohydrate diet can have on health - answerIt can lead to increased insulin levels.
