CrossFit Level 1 Study Guide 100% Correct Answers Verified Latest 2024 Version

Define CrossFit - Constantly varied high intensity functional movement Define Variance - Preparation for random physical challenges unknown and knowable Define General Physical Preparedness (GPP) and identify the relationship of variance to GPP - GPP is broad, general and inclusive and variance creates this general condition Explain the concept of falling at the margins of our experience and how it relates to GPP and variance - Constant variance prepares you at your margins of experience to prevent failure at margins of experience Define the difference between specialization and GPP (CrossFit) - CrossFit is random and broad, specialization is focusing on specific skills Articulate the relationship between intensity and results related to fitness goals - Intensity brings results Describe how power is related to intensity - Power is Intensity Define and calculate power - Time rate of doing work or force x distance Define and calculate work - Ability to perform real physical work as measured by force x distance Define Safe - Mechanically sound and safe post 1 max rep Define compound yet irreducible - You cannot breakdown into individual movements and get the same benefitDefine core to extremity - mid line stabilization Define high power producing - Load, Distance, Speed Identify the definitive characteristics of functional movements - Move large loads, over long distances, quickly Define intensity - The independent variable commonly associated with max favorable adaption to exercise What are the 7 defining characteristics of Functional Movement - Natural, Universal motor recruitment patters, essential, safe, compound yet irreducible, core to extremity, high power producing Define Natural - Involve multiple joint movements Define Universal Motor Recruitment Patters - Found in everyday life Define Essential - To independent living and quality of life and inhibits increpitude Define Virtuosity - Doing the common uncommonly well Articulate CrossFits definition of fitness - Increased work capacity over broad time and modal domains What are the 4 supporting models - 10 General Physical Skills, The hopper, Metabolic pathways, Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum Identify the 10 General Physical Skills - Cardio-vascular and cardio respiratory endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Accuracy, Agility, BalanceDefine Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum - Balance of wellness and fitness a hedge against sickness. You need to go down past wellness before you get sick Define Metabolic Pathways - Fittest is balanced across the 3 pathways. Phosphogen - high 5-10 secs, Glycolytic - med 60-120 secs, Oxidative - low 120 + secs Define The Hopper - Statistical and is a measure of an athlete performing relatively well at any physical task thrown his way Define Cardio-vascular and cardio respiratory endurance - Gather, process and deliver oxygen Define Stamina - Process, deliver, store and utilise energy Define Strength - Ability to apply force Define Flexibility - Ability to max ROM at any given joint Define Power - Ability to apply max force in min time Define Speed - Ability to min time cycle of repeated movement Define Coordination - Ability to combine several movements into a singular distinct movement Define Balance - Ability to control centre of gravity Define Agility - Ability to min transition time from one pattern to another Define Accuracy - Ability to control movement in a given direction at a given intensity
