Crossfit Level 1 Exam | 100% Correct
Answers | A+ Assured
• What is power? -✓✓the time rate of doing work
• What is the most important characteristic of functional movement? -
✓✓Capacity to move large loads over long distance (high power
producing)
• What are the characteristics of functional movement? -✓✓natural,
universal motor recruitment patterns, essential, safe, compound yet
irreducible, core to extremity, high power producing.
• Describe intensity -✓✓Intensity is defined exactly as power. High
intensity allows for shorter, high cardio sessions.
• What is the relationship between intensity and results? -✓✓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.
• What is variance? -✓✓Variance 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.
-✓✓The 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. -✓✓stamina, 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? -✓✓Random 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? -✓✓They provide energy; They are Phosphocreatine,
Glycolytic, and Oxidative. A fit person should be competent in all
pathways.
• Describe the Phosphocreatine Pathway. -✓✓Anaerobic (absence of
oxygen); 10 second intervals; 100 meter dash.
• Describe the Glycolytic Pathway. -✓✓Anaerobic (absence of oxygen);
120 second intervals; 400 meter sprint.
• Describe the Oxidative Pathway. -✓✓Aerobic (uses oxygen); more
than 120 seconds; mile run.
• What is the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum? Why is this model
important in defining fitness? -✓✓Every 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? -✓✓Training
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? -
✓✓sickness, wellness, and fitness are different measures of a single
quality: health.
• Define the power curve. -✓✓The 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? -✓✓One'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? -✓✓Proper 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. -✓✓Protein - meat
Carbohydrates - broccoli
Fat - Butter
• What's crossfit's definition of health? -✓✓health 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 -✓✓Insulin regulates the sugar in our blood.
• Articulate the effects a highly refined and processed carbohydrate diet
can have on health -✓✓It can lead to increased insulin levels.
• Define hyperinsulinemia -✓✓Hyperinsulinemia is the chronic and
acute elevation of insulin as a result of habitual consumption of excess
carbohydrate.
