CROSSFIT LEVEL 1 CERTIFICATION EXAM 2023-2024
ACTUAL EXAM 200 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS (100% VERIFIED ANSWERS) |AGRADE
Anaerobic systems: – ANSWER- phosphagen and glycolytic (lactic acid)
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)
Hormonal responses vital to athletic development: – ANSWER- increased in
testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and human growth hormone
Adaptive responses to exercises capable of producing a significant neuroendocrine
response: – ANSWER- mass and bone density
Power – ANSWER- time rate of doing work; also the definition of intensity
What is associated with high neuroendocrine response? – ANSWER- heavy load
weight lifting, short rest between sets, high heart rates, high intensity training,
short rest intervals
Cross training vs Crossfit – ANSWER- cross training is participating in several
sports and Crossfit views cross training as exceeding the normal parameters of the
regular demands of your sport training
Definition of Crossfit – ANSWER- constantly varied, high intensity, functional
movement
(also known as Crossfits prescription)
What is functional movement – ANSWER- load, distance, and speed for
production of high power
Define intensity – ANSWER- power
(intensity is the independent variable)
Crossfit methodology: – ANSWER- safety, efficacy, and efficiency
(the 3 most important and interdependent facets to evaluate any fitness program,
can be supported only by measurable, observable, repeatable data)
10 fitness domains of Crossfit: – ANSWER- cardiovascular/respiratory endurance,
stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and
accuracy
Define athlete – ANSWER- a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports,
or games requiring physical strength, agility, or stamina
Define Crossfit athlete – ANSWER- a person who is skilled or trained in strength,
power, balance, and agility, flexibility, and endurance
How is energy derived? – ANSWER- aerobically when O2 is utilized to metabolize
substrates derived from food and liberates energy
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
Functional movement: – ANSWER- are mechanically sound and therefor safe, and
secondly they are the movements that elicit a high neuroendocrine response
Crossfit diet: – ANSWER- protein 30%; carbohydrates 40%; fat 30%
Protein: – ANSWER- total calories based on protein needs which should be
between 0.7 and 1.0 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass
High glycemic carbohydrates: – ANSWER- raise blood sugar too rapidly
Ex: rice, bread, candy, potato, sweets, sodas
Crossfits 10 general physical skills: – ANSWER- cardiovascular/respiratory
endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility,
balance, and accuracy
Training refers to: – ANSWER- activity that improves performance through a
measurable organic change in the body
Practice refers to: – ANSWER- activity improves performance through changes in
the nervous system: power and speed and adaptations of both training and practice
Define accuracy – ANSWER- the ability to control movement in a given direction
or at a given intensity
Define balance – ANSWER- the ability to control placement of the bodys center of
gravity in relation to its support base
Define agility – ANSWER- the ability to minimize transition time from one
movement pattern to another
Define coordination – ANSWER- the ability to combine several distinct movement
patterns into a singular distinct movement
Define speed – ANSWER- the ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated
movement
Define power – ANSWER- the ability of a muscular unit, or combo of muscle
units, to apply maximum force in minimum time
Phosphocreatine: – ANSWER- short, anaerobic, max intensity, located in cytosol
of muscle cells
Ex: 100 m dash
Glycolytic (lactate): – ANSWER- medium, anaerobic, medium to high intensity,
cytosol of all cells
Ex: 400 m sprint
Oxidative: – ANSWER- long, aerobic, low intensity effort, mitochondria of cells
Ex: anything greater than 120 seconds of sustained effort
