For thousands of athletes around the globe, CrossFit has made a tremendous impact on their physical health and truly becomes a way of life.
Considering CrossFit workouts involve major joints and muscle groups and focus on high-intensity, high-rep routines, injuries can occur in just about any area of the musculoskeletal system.
With its focus on intense interval training and varied workouts, CrossFit has soared in popularity since it was introduced almost 20 years ago.
High-intensity workouts that vary day-to-day challenge CrossFit athletes as they train against a running clock.
Like any other exercise program, most CrossFit-related injuries occur because athletes aren’t using proper form, haven’t warmed up or they push themselves beyond safe limits. Injuries also occur when athletes ramp up activity too quickly without working up to higher levels of intensity over time.
