Re: BJJ
Yuri Feito, a professor of exercise science at Kennesaw State University in Georgia (and a CrossFitter himself), analyzed data from 737 CrossFit participants and found that 51 percent had experienced an injury in the year prior – from minor sprains to muscle tears to broken fingers. Of those, 10 to 15 percent warranted a trip to the hospital. Some injuries, he says, resulted from "overtraining – too many reps, not enough recovery." Another study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research calculated 3.1 injuries per 1,000 CrossFit sessions. That's about the same rate as competitive weightlifting or training for a triathlon or marathon. Without proper coaching, CrossFit carries more risk than the typical gym routine, says Feito – particularly for former athletes now in their thirties and forties, whose bodies are not as durable as they once were.Originally Posted by Quanty
