Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of regular CrossFit training on some force and jump parameters. 32 healthy wrestling men participated in the study, 16 experimental and 16 control groups. For the experimental group, CrossFit training, known as Cindy, was practiced three times a week for 8 weeks. The training consisted of 5 bars, 10 push-ups and 15 squats for 20 minutes. The control group continued the classical wrestling practice. Myotest accelerometric system was used for measurements of participants’ values. For the analysis of the data, repeated measure ANOVA was used. According to the results, as a result of CrossFit training, athletes' squat jump heights increased (Wilks' Lambda = .541, F (1,30) = 25, p = .00). The mean post-training leap values (33.778 ± 5.48) were higher than the pre-training leap values (32.169 ± 4.95) (p <0.05). It can be concluded that Cindy CrossFit studies improve jumping and strength ability.
Highlights
CrossFit® (CrossFit, Inc., Washington, DC, USA), which is very popular in recent years, is a high intensity interval training model that includes many functional movements (Butcher et al, 2015)
Results indicated that 8 weeks CrossFit training had effectiveness on jump performance and strength
Similar results were found in studies focusing on standing jump performance
Summary
CrossFit® (CrossFit, Inc., Washington, DC, USA), which is very popular in recent years, is a high intensity interval training model that includes many functional movements (Butcher et al, 2015). CrossFit training is the overall strength and conditioning program. This program was initially developed for military training and is increasingly popular among civilian population. CrossFit workouts are usually high intensity strength exercises. This training method include fast, repetitive movements with short or no rest periods. While other strength training has a structure that includes rest and work cycle, CrossFit has a structure that goes on continuously. Most CrossFit training protocols do not have a rest period so that individuals have the ability to produce high power. The “Cindy CrossFit” training model that used in our study includes this two training types
