KSU study indicates CrossFit injuries may not be as common as once thought

Published in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers at 肉肉传媒 concluded that CrossFit is fairly safe compared to other types of training. After analyzing 3,000 survey responses of CrossFit participants, they found that people who are new to CrossFit or train less than three days a week are more likely to get injured. This is likely because these groups are unfamiliar with the movements.

鈥淭his study indicates that injuries among CrossFit participants may not be as high as previously suggested in some media reports,鈥� study co-author Yuri Feito said in a statement. 鈥淐rossFit training has been scrutinized because of a supposed high incidence of injuries, but our data does not seem to support that it might be any more 鈥榚xtreme鈥� or dangerous than other exercise training programs.鈥�
