CROSSFIT (LEVEL 2) 54 QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Demonstration -ANSWER-the ability to provide athletes w/ an
accurate visual example Common movement themes for functional
movements -ANSWER-midline stabilization, core to extremity
movement, balance about the frontal plane, posterior chain
engagement, sound hip function, active shoulders, full ROM about a
joint, effective stance or grip
Midline -ANSWER-relationship of the spine and pelvis during
functional movement
midline stabilization -ANSWER-athlete's capacity to prevent
movement from this neutral spinal position; synonymous w/ core
strength
Creates midline stabilization -ANSWER-engagement of abs, internal
& external obliques, and spinal errectors
Deviations from neutral spine -ANSWER-Flexion, extension
Most risky deviation from neutral/ midline stabilization -ANSWER-
loss of neutral spine during movement
, Core to Extremity movements -ANSWER-a sequence of muscular
contraction beginning w/ large force producing, low velocity muscles
of the core and hips and ends w/ small force producing, high velocity
muscles of the extremities
Muscles more likely of injury -ANSWER-smaller muscle groups and
tendons/ligaments
Balance about the frontal plane -ANSWER-athletes movements
accommodate the object and may or may not be characterized by
straight lines; frontal plane divides athlete into anterior/posterior
halves (bisects athlete at mid foot
Posterior chain -ANSWER-hamstrings, glutes, spinal errectors
Posterior chain engagement -ANSWER-balance of pressure btw balls
of feet and heels; creates increased power generation, helps keep
knees in line w/ toes, promoted midline stabilization and balance
about frontal plane
Sound hip function -ANSWER-athletes ability to flex & extend hip to
maximize contribution to movement
Major safety issues w/ slow or incomplete hip extension -ANSWER-
none
