CROSSFIT LEVEL 1 FINAL STUDY PAPER
2026 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED
A+
●● What is functional movement. Answer: load, distance, and speed for
production of high power
●● Define intensity. Answer: power
(intensity is the independent variable)
●● Crossfit methodology:. Answer: safety, efficacy, and efficiency
(the 3 most important and interdependent facets to evaluate any fitness
program, can be supported only by measurable, observable, repeatable
data)
●● 10 fitness domains of Crossfit:. Answer: cardiovascular/respiratory
endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination,
agility, balance, and accuracy
●● Define athlete. Answer: a person who is trained or skilled in
exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility, or
stamina
,●● Define Crossfit athlete. Answer: a person who is skilled or trained in
strength, power, balance, and agility, flexibility, and endurance
●● How is energy derived?. Answer: aerobically when O2 is utilized to
metabolize substrates derived from food and liberates energy
●● Aerobic activity:. Answer: are usually greater than 90 seconds in
duration and involve low to moderate power output or intensity
Ex: running on treadmill for 20 min, swimming a mile, watching TV
●● Anaerobic activity:. Answer: energy is liberated from substances in
the absence of O2; these activities are of less than 2 min in duration and
involve moderate to high power output intensity
Ex: 100 m sprint, squatting, pull ups
●● Anaerobic systems:. Answer: phosphagen and glycolytic (lactic acid)
●● 2 Olympic lifts:. Answer: clean and jerk and snatch
(they train athletes to activate more muscle fibers more rapidly more
than through any other modality of training; develop an athletes
explosive power, control of external objects, and mastery of critical
motor recruitment patterns)
, ●● Hormonal responses vital to athletic development:. Answer:
increased in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and human growth
hormone
●● Adaptive responses to exercises capable of producing a significant
neuroendocrine response:. Answer: mass and bone density
●● Power. Answer: time rate of doing work; also the definition of
intensity
●● What is associated with high neuroendocrine response?. Answer:
heavy load weight lifting, short rest between sets, high heart rates, high
intensity training, short rest intervals
●● Cross training vs Crossfit. Answer: cross training is participating in
several sports and Crossfit views cross training as exceeding the normal
parameters of the regular demands of your sport training
●● Functional movement:. Answer: are mechanically sound and therefor
safe, and secondly they are the movements that elicit a high
neuroendocrine response
●● Crossfit diet:. Answer: protein 30%; carbohydrates 40%; fat 30%
