CROSSFIT L1 Prep Question with Correct
Answers 2026-2027
Goals of Crossfit - CORRECT ANSWER -- forge a broad, general, and inclusive fitness
-prep for known and unknown
- crossfit is constantly varied, high-intensity, and functional movements
Functional Movements intro - CORRECT ANSWER -- are universal motor recruitment patterns
- are performed ina wave of contraction from core to extremity
- natural, effective, and efficient locomotors of body and external objects
most important parts of functional movements - CORRECT ANSWER -
the capacity to move large loads over long distances and quickly
3 main attrivutes to functional movements - CORRECT ANSWER --
load, distance, and speed qualify functional movements for the production of high power
Intensity - CORRECT ANSWER --
is the IV most commonly associated with maximizing favorable adaptation to exercise
defined exactly as power
-
preparing for physical challenges for known and unknown are at odds with fixed, predictable, and
routine regimens
Methodology - CORRECT ANSWER --
crossfit methodology depends on full disclosure of mothods, results, and criticisms
- crossfit is empirically driven, clinically tested, and community developed
3 most important and interdependent facets of any fitness program are: - CORRECT ANSWER -
safety, efficacy, and efficiency can be supported only by measurable, observable, and repeatable fa
cts
,Implementation - CORRECT ANSWER -- crossfit is a sport of fitness
-
harnessing the natural camaraderie, competition and fun of sport/game yields an intensity that ca
nnot be matched by other means
- Col Jeff cooper saw that fear of failure worse than fear of death
Adaptations - CORRECT ANSWER --
crossfit increases work capacity across broad time and modal domains
- increased work capacity seen as the holy grail of performance improvement
- we would not trade improvements is any other fitness metric for a decreased in work capacity
what is Crossfit - CORRECT ANSWER -- is an open-
source engine where inputs from any quarter can be publicly given to demonstrate fitness and fitn
ess programming and where coaches, trainers, and athletes can advance the art and science of op
timizing human performance
Foundations - CORRECT ANSWER -- crossfit is a core strength and conditioning program
- is designed to elicit as broad an adaptation response as possible
- crossfit is a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in 10 recognized fitness domains
-
crossfit athletes are trained to perform successfully at multiple, diverse, and randomized physical
challenges
10 recognized fitness domains - CORRECT ANSWER -- cardiovascular and respiratory endurance
- stamina
- strength,
- flexibility
- power
- speed
- coordination
- agility
- balance
,- accuracy
Crossfit is distinctive in its focus on: - CORRECT ANSWER -
maximizing neuroendocrine response, developing power, cross-
training with multiple training modalities, constant training and practice with functional movements
and good diet strategy
Effective Approach - CORRECT ANSWER -
•Crossfit works exclusively with compound movements and short to high intensity cardiovascular s
essions
•Lateral raises are replaced with the Push Press
•Curls are replaced with pull-ups
•Leg extensions are replaced with squats
•Compound or functional movements and high intensity/anaerobic cardio is more effective at eliciti
ng any desired result
•Crossfit endeavors bring state of the art coaching techniques to the general public
Is crossfit for You? - CORRECT ANSWER -
•Crossfit has been able to teach anyone who can care for themselves to perform safely and with
maximum efficacy the same movements usually utilized by professional coaches in elite and exclusi
ve environments
Who has benefited from Crossfit? - CORRECT ANSWER -•Professional and elite athletes
•Crossfit has tested its methods on sedentary, overweight, pathological, and elderly and found the
y see the same success as their competing athletes
What is a core strength and conditioning program? - CORRECT ANSWER -
•Crossfit is a core strength and conditioning program in the literal sense of the center of somethin
g
•Much of what crossfit does focuses on the major functional axis of the human body, the extensio
n and flexion of the hips and the extension, flexion, and rotation of the torso or trunk
•Crossfit develops their athletes from the inside out, from core to extremity, which is how good fu
nctional movements recruit muscle, from core to extremities
, athletes and optimal health - CORRECT ANSWER -
•Athletes have greater bone density, stronger immune systems, less coronary heart disease, reduce
d risk of cancer, fewer strokes, and less depression than non-athletes.
What is an Athlete? - CORRECT ANSWER -
•Crossfit defines athletes as a person who is trained or skilled in strength, power, balance, agility,
flexibility, and endurance
•The crossfit model holds; fitness, health, and athleticism as strong overlapping constructs. They ca
n be seen as equivalents
Being just Helathy means what? - CORRECT ANSWER -
•Fitness, wellness, and sickness are measures of the same entity your health
•There are a multitude of measureable parameters that can be ordered from sick-normal-fit
•These include; blood pressure, cholesterol, heart rate, body fat, muscle mass, flexibility, and stren
gth
•The crossfit view is that fitness and health are the same thing
What is the Crossfit Method? - CORRECT ANSWER -
•Diet: Lays molecular foundations for fitness and health
•Metabolic Conditioning: builds capacity in each of the 3 metabolic pathways, which start with aer
obic-lactic acid-phosphocreatine
•Gymnastics: establishes functional capacity for body control and range of motion
•Weightlifting and Throwing: develop ability to control external objects and produce power
•Sport: Applies fitness in competitive atmosphere with more randomized movements and skill mas
tery
Fringe Athletes - CORRECT ANSWER -
•Crossfit considers the sumo wrestler, triathlete, marathoner, and power lifter to be fringe athletes
in that their fitness demands are so specialized to be inconsistent with the adaptations that give
maximum competency at all physical challenges
Aerobic Energy - CORRECT ANSWER -
•Energy is derived aerobically when oxygen is utilized to metabolize substrates derived from food
and liberates energy
