Abstract

BACKGROUND: Nowadays, even with the high demand for activities such as CrossFit®, traditional weight training (WT) is still the most popular method for individuals of all age groups. Although it is an activity with a potential risk of pain and injury, when not properly guided and executed, some professionals believe it to be less harmful or aggressive when compared to CrossFit®, due to the lower impact exercises.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of injuries and pain between individuals practicing CrossFit® and those practicing WT.
METHODS: For this cross-sectional study, an interview was performed via an online platform, in which 96 individuals who practiced WT and 99 individuals who practiced CrossFit® were evaluated on the modality practiced and history of pain and injuries. Student’s t-test for independent samples was used to investigate a possible difference in incidence rates between the groups.
RESULTS: No statistically significant difference (p>0.05) was found regarding the presence and/or number of injuries between CrossFit® practitioners and WT practitioners. There was also no difference (p>0.05) between the groups regarding the onset of pain after starting to practice and its intensity, as well as its return, interruption, or reduction.
CONCLUSION: This study showed that both individuals practicing CrossFit® and individuals practicing WT have similar injury and pain conditions. Thus, although CrossFit® is considered a high-impact activity practiced at high intensities, it can be practiced safely, provided it is properly monitored.
