CROSSFIT LEVEL 1 ACTUAL TEST PAPER
2026 QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS
GRADED A+
⩥ What is power? Answer: the time rate of doing work
⩥ What is the most important characteristic of functional movement?
Answer: Capacity to move large loads over long distance (high power
producing)
⩥ What are the characteristics of functional movement? Answer: natural,
universal motor recruitment patterns, essential, safe, compound yet
irreducible, core to extremity, high power producing.
⩥ Describe intensity Answer: Intensity is defined exactly as power. High
intensity allows for shorter, high cardio sessions.
⩥ What is the relationship between intensity and results? Answer:
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? Answer: 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.
Answer: 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. Answer: 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? Answer: 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? Answer: They provide energy; They are
Phosphocreatine, Glycolytic, and Oxidative. A fit person should be
competent in all pathways.
⩥ Describe the Phosphocreatine Pathway. Answer: Anaerobic (absence
of oxygen); 10 second intervals; 100 meter dash.
, ⩥ Describe the Glycolytic Pathway. Answer: Anaerobic (absence of
oxygen); 120 second intervals; 400 meter sprint.
⩥ Describe the Oxidative Pathway. Answer: Aerobic (uses oxygen);
more than 120 seconds; mile run.
⩥ What is the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum? Why is this model
important in defining fitness? Answer: 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? Answer: 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?
Answer: sickness, wellness, and fitness are different measures of a
single quality: health.
⩥ Define the power curve. Answer: 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? Answer: One's fitness at a certain time in one's life. (I think) I
think it's illustrated by time, age, and power.
