Crossfit level 1 certification Questions and Answers |
2024 | Reviewed and approved
What is Crossfit? - Answer constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement
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.
What is technique? - Answer 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. - Answer
Protein - meat
Carbohydrates - broccoli
Fat - Butter
What's crossfit's definition of health? - Answer 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 -
Answer Insulin regulates the sugar in our blood.
