Crossfit level 1 certification (2022/2023)
100% Pass
Definition of Crossfit ✔✔constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement
(also known as Crossfits prescription)
What is functional movement ✔✔load, distance, and speed for production of high power
Define intensity ✔✔power
(intensity is the independent variable)
Crossfit methodology: ✔✔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: ✔✔cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength,
flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy
Define athlete ✔✔a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring
physical strength, agility, or stamina
Define Crossfit athlete ✔✔a person who is skilled or trained in strength, power, balance, and
agility, flexibility, and endurance
How is energy derived? ✔✔aerobically when O2 is utilized to metabolize substrates derived
from food and liberates energy
Aerobic activity: ✔✔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: ✔✔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: ✔✔phosphagen and glycolytic (lactic acid)
2 Olympic lifts: ✔✔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: ✔✔increased in testosterone, insulin-like
growth factor, and human growth hormone
Adaptive responses to exercises capable of producing a significant neuroendocrine response:
✔✔mass and bone density
Power ✔✔time rate of doing work; also the definition of intensity
What is associated with high neuroendocrine response? ✔✔heavy load weight lifting, short rest
between sets, high heart rates, high intensity training, short rest intervals
Cross training vs Crossfit ✔✔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
Functional movement: ✔✔are mechanically sound and therefor safe, and secondly they are the
movements that elicit a high neuroendocrine response
Crossfit diet: ✔✔protein 30%; carbohydrates 40%; fat 30%
Protein: ✔✔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: ✔✔raise blood sugar too rapidly
Ex: rice, bread, candy, potato, sweets, sodas
Crossfits 10 general physical skills: ✔✔cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength,
flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy
Training refers to: ✔✔activity that improves performance through a measurable organic change
in the body
Practice refers to: ✔✔activity improves performance through changes in the nervous system:
power and speed and adaptations of both training and practice
Define accuracy ✔✔the ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity
Define balance ✔✔the ability to control placement of the bodys center of gravity in relation to its
support base
Define agility ✔✔the ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another
Define coordination ✔✔the ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular
distinct movement
Define speed ✔✔the ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement
Define power ✔✔the ability of a muscular unit, or comb
