Crossfit Level 1 Certification Exam Questions with
Correct Answers
.10 fitness domains of Crossfit: - ANSWER-cardiovascular/respiratory
endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility,
balance, and accuracy
.2 Olympic lifts: - ANSWER-clean and jerk and snatch
(they train athletes to activate more muscle fibers more rapidly more than
through any other modality of training; develop an athletes explosive power,
control of external objects, and mastery of critical motor recruitment patterns)
.4 fitness models of Crossfit: - ANSWER-the 10 general physical skills, the
Hopper, metabolic pathways, sickness-wellness- fitness continuum
.Adaptive responses to exercises capable of producing a significant
neuroendocrine response: - ANSWER-mass and bone density
.Aerobic activity: - ANSWER-are usually greater than 90 seconds in duration and
involve low to moderate power output or intensity
Ex: running on treadmill for 20 min, swimming a mile, watching TV
.Anaerobic activity: - ANSWER-energy is liberated from substances in the
absence of O2; these activities are of less than 2 min in duration and involve
moderate to high power output intensity
,Ex: 100 m sprint, squatting, pull ups
.Anaerobic systems: - ANSWER-phosphagen and glycolytic (lactic acid)
.Articulate the benefits of eating high quality foods and a "Paleo" diet -
ANSWER-Modern diets (processed foods) are ill suited for our genetic makeup.
Lack of processed foods decreases your chances for diseases such as coronary
heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, obesity, and psychological
dysfunction
.Articulate the benefits of weighing and measuring foods - ANSWER-concluded
that natural variances in caloric intake and macronutrient composition without
measurement are greater than the resolution required to turn good
performance to great. have to measure.
.Articulate the dangers of chronically elevated insulin levels. - ANSWER-Elevated
insulin levels can lead to coronary disease, cancer, and Alzheimers
.Articulate the effects a highly refined and processed carbohydrate diet can
have on health - ANSWER-It can lead to increased insulin levels.
.Articulate the primary benefit of fish oil supplementation - ANSWER-research
has indicated supplementation can improve insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular
function, nervous-system function, immune health, memory, and mood issues
.Benefits of eating Paleo: - ANSWER-
, .Benefits of the GHD foundational exercises: - ANSWER-Hamstring raises on the
glute-ham developer (GHD) build powerful hamstrings that might improve
sprinting speed and jumping ability. And they provide a great way to focus on
the posterior chain without loading the back as in good mornings and deadlifts.
.Benefits of weighing and measuring food: - ANSWER-
.Causes of Rhabdo - ANSWER-intense exercise, alcohol, cocaine, dehydration,
heat and humidity, Mevacor
.Characteristics of functional movement (natural, universal motor recruitment
patterns, essential, safe, compound yet irreducible, core to extremity, high
power producing): - ANSWER-Natural
Universal Motor Recruitment Patterns
Essential
Safe
compound yet Irreducible
Core to Extremity
High Power Producing
.Common faults of squats: - ANSWER-not going deep enough, rolling knees
inside feet, dropping head, losing lumbar extension, dropping shoulders, heels
off ground
.Compound yet irreducible: - ANSWER-you cannot break down into individual
movement and get the same benefit
