O Crossfit® é uma modalidade esportiva que compreende programas de treinamento de força e condicionamento físico geral, a cada dia crescente em número de adeptos. Supõe-se que seus praticantes, seja em âmbito recreativo ou competitivo estejam sujeitos ao risco do desenvolvimento de lesões articulares relacionadas à prática do esporte. A pesquisa objetiva a verificação da incidência de lesões musculoesqueléticas em praticantes atletas ou recreacionais da modalidade Crossfit em academia localizada no município de Porto Velho, Rondônia. Tratando-se de uma pesquisa de natureza básica, com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, sendo descritivo-exploratória quanto aos objetivos, de levantamento quanto aos procedimentos de coleta de dados, utilizando-se do método observacional para verificação do objeto de estudo. Para obtenção dos dados foi empreendido questionário semiestrutura, aplicado por um único pesquisador, tendo sido obtidas 101 amostras válidas, compreendendo praticantes de 18 a 48 anos, de ambos os sexos, com período de prática igual ou superior a 1 mês. A incidência de lesões evidenciada foi de 22,8%. No grupo de praticantes que já sofreram lesões, a prevalência é do sexo feminino, na faixa etária de 26 a 35 anos, praticante há mais de 12 meses, a uma frequência semanal a partir de 3 dias, mais frequentemente superior a 5 dias por semana. O estudo corrobora com a literatura disponível, evidenciando que esta incidência não está para a prática desta modalidade, mas sim das modalidades esportivas que têm a mesma exigência física, de forma que a prática regular do CrossFit quando comparada a outras modalidades esportivas não eleva significativamente a incidência de lesões, pesando mais favoravelmente os incrementos físicos do sistema cardiovascular, neuromuscular, da composição corporal, além dos benefícios gerais à qualidade de vida. Desse modo, há sim de pesar a responsabilidade na prática assistida por técnicos certificados e experientes, envolvidos com o ensino dos diferentes gestos técnicos aos praticantes, sejam eles atléticos ou recreativos, nas decisões quanto proteção do praticante, assim como o exercício em ambientes seguros.

The incidence of injuries evidenced was 22.8%. In the group of practitioners who have suffered injuries, the prevalence is female, aged 26 to 35 years, a practitioner for more than 12 months, at a weekly frequency from 3 days, more often than 5 days a week. The study corroborates the available literature, evidencing that this incidence is not for the practice of this modality, but of sports modalities that have the same physical requirement, so that the regular practice of CrossFit when compared to other Sports modalities do not significantly increase the incidence of lesions, weighing more favorably the physical increments of the cardiovascular, neuromuscular system, body composition, in addition to the general benefits to quality of life.
