Abstract
The purpose of the research was to describe the main characteristics of crossfit training, and thereby to encourage people of all ages to undertake this type of physical activity. The study was conducted in 2015 in the Tri-City CrossFit clubs using a questionnaire. The study involved persons participating in CrossFit classes, both from basic and advanced groups. The study covered 80 people aged 19-40 years. All respondents have noticed, in varying degrees, an improvement in the strengthening of individual parameters. An increase in endurance was noted by more than 91% of respondents, an increase in strength by more than 66%, an increase in muscles by 71%, a decrease in body fat by 80%. Participants of the basic group experienced no pain. In the advanced group from among 33 persons over 87% experienced pain in the lower spine, 84% in varying degrees pain in the shoulder, and more than 57% had knee problems and muscular pain. The surveyed group saw positive changes at different levels in endurance, strength and flexibility. There were no injuries noticed in the beginner group. Injuries were found during advanced crossfit training. Through mobility training, respondents experienced slight pain.
