Crossfit effects and risks: a narrative review
Keywords
Abstract
CrossFit, a recent method of multi-joint physical training, has been gaining popularity since its creation in the 90s. Allied with the growing number of practitioners, there has also been an increase in injuries in sports, resulting in the need to investigate these conditions. The study aims to analyze the main lesions and body regions affected, as well as the factors associated with such conditions. The prevalence of injuries in CrossFit practitioners ranged from 1.94 to 18.9 injuries per 1,000 hours of training. The most affected body regions were the shoulders, followed by the back and knees in addition to complaints of pelvic floor injuries and urinary incontinence in the female audience. Regarding the factors associated with injuries, the type of exercise performed, the time of CrossFit practice, gender, and execution of the exercises stood out. It was concluded that the subject is little investigated in the academic area, therefore, it is necessary to deepen in research.
