Crossfit Level 1 Trainer Test Questions
Solved Correctly.
Define CrossFit -Answer constantly varied functional movement executed at high intensity.
Characteristics of Functional Movements: -Answer 1. Natural
2. UMRP: Universal motor recruitment pattern. (found everywhere)
3. Essential: for quality of life, living independently, to do everyday things.
4. Safe
5. Compound yet irreducible (mutiple joints)
6. Core to extremity.
Define and Calculate Work: -Answer The ability to perform real physical work as measured by; force x
distance
Define and Calculate Power: -Answer The time rate of doing work; intensity; force x distance./time
Functional Movements;
large loads-- force
long distances-- distance(or reps)
quickly--time
Intensity -Answer Power; is the independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing the
rate or return . The greater/higher the intensity the better the results.
Most important characteristic of functional movements -Answer Their capacity to move large loads
over a long distances, quickly.
Crossfit Methodology -Answer Safety, efficacy and efficiency most important facets to elevate fitness
can be supported by measurable, observable and repeatable data. "Evidence based"
,Constantly Varied: -Answer Exsposure to a program that is broad general and inclusive.
Factors to vary:
1. loads
2. distance
3. time
4 equipment.
Being prepared for the unknown and unknowable.
What is GPP and it's definition: -Answer General Physical Preparedness: Being prepared to run and
weightlift better than someone who only runs or only weightlift.
Ex: broad, general and inclusive and variance creates this general condition which prepares you for the
unknown.
Failing at the margins of your experience relating to variance in CF -Answer Constant variance prepares
you at your margins of experience to prevent failure at margins of experience
Specialization vs CrossFit -Answer Specialization in one sport and being great in one activity only vs
Crossfit that will make you good in all activities.
Crossfit definition of fitness and health and their relationship -Answer Fitness is work capacity across
broad time and modal domains. and health is work capacity across broad time and modal.domains
throughout your life.
What are Crossfits Four -4- Models for evaluating and guiding fitness: -Answer 1. The 10 General
Physical Skills
2. The Hopper
3. The Metabolic Pathways
4. Sickness and Wellness Continuum
And to be considered fit is to be good at all 4 modals of fitness.
, Define The 10 Physical Skills -Answer You are as fit as you are competent in each of these 10 Skills:
1. Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance (gather, process and deliver oxygen)
2. Stamina (process, deliver, store and utilize energy)
3. Strength (muscular unit, apply force)
4. Flexibility (maximize ROM of a joint)
5. Power(applying maximum force in minimum time)
6. Speed (minimize time cycle of a repeated movement)
7. Coordination (combine several patterns into a singular movement)
8. Agility (minimizing transition time)
9. Balance (control the body center of gravity)
10. Accuracy ( controlling movement in any direction at anytime)
The Hopper -Answer Is loaded with as many skills and drills from many different sports. and the
implication is that fitness requires an ability to perform well at all drills, even unfamiliar tasks combined
in infinitely combinations.
Metabolic Pathways -Answer 3 Metabolic ways to provide energy to the body
1. Phosphagen (quick)-- Anerobic(atp wothou oxygen)
2. Glycolytic (quick but not fast)-- Anerobix
3. Oxidative (long time)--aerobic(arp with oxygen)
Sickness and Wellness -Answer The sick, well, and fit continuum can be plotted. There is a sick side, well
is in the middle, and the right side is fit. if all your numbers are on the right if you if you do get sick you
have a better chance of getting well sooner.
Which 10 Physical Skills improve by training (4), practice (4) and both (2)? -Answer 1. Endurance
2. Stamina
3. Strength
4. Flexibility
