Abstract

Background: Developed in recent years, CrossFit has gained much popularity in the industrialized world due to various advantages such as scalability, availability and high sense of community. Nonetheless, with growing interest, reports on associated injury have also emerged, highlighting the need for better characterization and analysis of specific risk factors. Our goal was therefore to characterize injuries related to CrossFit and to describe specific risk factors associated with their occurrence.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study by using a questionnaire aimed at CrossFit athletes responding to personally delivered questionnaires nationwide.

Results: A total of 502 fully answered our questionnaire. Athletes who reported injury had a slightly higher mean weight (P=0.065) and Body Mass Index (P=0.059) compared to their non-injured counterparts and the most affected area was the upper extremity (N.=133, 26.4%) followed by the shoulder (N.=101, 20.1%). Athletes who performed preworkout warmup exercises were significantly more prone to report an injury (P=0.007) as well as those who had prior injury in the affected area. Backward stepwise regression model assessing injury predictors revealed that preworkout warmup (OR 1.816; 95% CI 1.095-3.011; P=0.021) and preinjury local pain (OR 1.554; 95% CI 1.004-2.046; P=0.048) in CrossFit athletes were significant predictors of injuries.

Conclusions: Pretraining warm-ups and preinjury localized pain were found to predict significant injury among CrossFit athletes.

训练前热身和局部疼痛可能与crossfit相关损伤有关:全国横断面研究
背景:CrossFit是近年来发展起来的,由于其可扩展性、可用性和高度的社区意识等各种优势,在工业化世界中受到了广泛的欢迎。然而,随着研究兴趣的增加,相关损伤的报告也出现了,强调需要更好地描述和分析特定的风险因素。因此,我们的目标是描述与混合健身相关的损伤特征,并描述与其发生相关的具体风险因素。方法:采用横断面研究方法,对全国范围内的CrossFit运动员进行问卷调查。结果:共有502人完整回答了我们的问卷。报告受伤的运动员的平均体重(P=0.065)和身体质量指数(P=0.059)略高于未受伤的运动员,受影响最大的部位是上肢(n =133, 26.4%),其次是肩部(n =101, 20.1%)。进行运动前热身运动的运动员和之前受影响区域受伤的运动员相比,更容易报告受伤(P=0.007)。评估损伤预测因素的后向逐步回归模型显示,运动前热身(OR 1.816;95% ci 1.095-3.011;P=0.021)和损伤前局部疼痛(OR 1.554;95% ci 1.004-2.046;P=0.048)是损伤的显著预测因子。结论:训练前热身和损伤前局部疼痛可以预测混合健身运动员的显著损伤。
