Crossfit Level 1 Cert Questions with
complete solution
Aim - ANSWER-Broad, general, inclusive fitness. Not only for the unknown, but also the
unknowable. Skills and adaptations that most universally lend themselves to
performance advantage. Specialty is not specializing.
Prescription - ANSWER-Constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement.
Universal motor recruitment patterns. Multi-joint movements (compound movements).
Natural, effective, and efficient locomotor of body and eal objects. Capacity to move
large loans over long distances, and to do so quickly.
LOAD, SPEED, AND DISTANCE- qualify functional movements for the production of
high-power. Intensity is power and is independent variable most commonly associated
with maximizing rate of return of favorable adaptations to excercise.
Methodology - ANSWER-Empirical. Safety, efficacy, and efficiency- measurable,
observable, and repeatable data. Evidence-based fitness. Methods, results and
criticisms. Empirically driven, clinically tested, and community developed.
Implementation - ANSWER-sport of fitness. natural camaraderie, competition, and fun
of sport or game yields an intensity that cannot be matched by other means. "The fear
of sporting failure is worse than the fear of death. Men will die for points.
Adaptations - ANSWER-Evidence-based fitness, crossfit increases work capacity
across broad time and modal domains. Publicly posting performance data,
co-developing our program in collaboration with other coaches, and our open-source
charter in general has well positioned us to garner important lessons from our program-
to learn precisely and accurately, that is about the adaptations elicited by CrossFit. Not
trade improvements in any other fitness metric for a decrease in work capacity.
Foundations - ANSWER-Physical competence in each of 10 fitness domains.
Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed,
coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. Bike, run, swim, and row at short, middle,
and long distances.
Olympic weightlifting to develop explosive power, control of external objects, and
mastery of critical motor recruitment patterns. Variety of sports as a vehicle to express
and apply their fitness.
, Athlete - ANSWER-greater bone density, stronger immune systems, less coronary heart
disease, reduced cancer risk, fewer stroked, and less depression.
A person who is trained or skilled in strength, power, balance and agility, flexibility, and
endurance.
Fitness=health=athleticism
Fringe athletes - ANSWER-CrossFit considers the sumo wrestler, triathlete, marathoner,
and power lifter to be _________ athletes because their fitness demands are so
specialized as to be inconsistent with the adaptations that give maximum competency at
all physical challenges.
10 general physical skills - ANSWER-Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina,
strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy.
Aerobic - ANSWER-when the majority of energy needed is derived aerobically. Usually
greater than 90 seconds in duration and involve low to moderate power output or
intensity. Examples include running on treadmill for 20 mins, swimming a mile, or
watching TV.
Anaerobic - ANSWER-energy is liberated from substrates in the absence of oxygen.
develop a very high level of aerobic fitness without the muscle wasting consistent with
high volume aerobic exercise. Less than two minutes in duration and involve moderate
to high- power output or intensity.
two anaerobic systems - ANSWER-phosphagen and glycolytic (lactic acid) systems.
Weightlifting - ANSWER-clean and jerk and snatch. squat, deadlift, power clean, and
split jerk while integrating them into a single movement of unequaled value in all of
strength and conditioning.
Activate more muscle fibers more rapidly than any other modality of training. results in
explosiveness that is of vital necessity to every sport.
Teaches one to apply force to muscle groups in proper sequence (from the center of the
body to its extremities).
develop strength, muscle, power, speed, coordination, vertical leap, muscular
endurance, bone strength, and the physical capacity to withstand stress. Increase
maximum oxygen uptake (the most important marker for cardiovascular fitness).
Gymnastics - ANSWER-reliance on the body's own weight as the sole source of
resistance. improving strength-to-weight ratio.
