Injury associated with CrossFit. What is the evidence? Part 3

                     

Injury associated with CrossFit, what does the evidence say?

This is part three of the same presentation.

My lecture concludes that the highest recorded injury rate from the evidence was 3.1 per 1,000 hours of CrossFit exposure.

This is the same number (3.1 per 1,000 hours) that has been used by Parkkari et al for going to the Gym normally.

Most injuries were acute and mild.

CrossFit has have an association with shoulder, low back and knee pain.

Males, heavy, tall or previously injured participants are at higher risk of injury than other participants.

The picture below sums up the evidence from the literature.

Injury associated with CrossFit. What is the evidence? Part 2

                    

Injury associated with CrossFit, what does the evidence say?

This is part two of the same presentation.

My lecture acknowledges that there is very limited evidence about CrossFit in the literature.

The two commonly quoted studies are Hak et al (2013) and Wiesenthal (2014).

Most of the studies highlight that the Shoulder and the Low Back are the common areas where CrossFit participants report pain.
