Effect of Crossfit Training on Jump and Strength

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.

Crossfit Trainings as an Alternative Approach to Prevent the Performance Loss During the Rest of the End of Season in Elite Wrestlers

“…It has gained great popularity recently due to its short duration and effectiveness [4,8,25]. There are studies showing the effectiveness of a large number of Crossfit programs involving different exercises, set, repetition, and rest intervals [25,29]. Some Crossfit programs seem to be useful exercise programs due to the fact that they contain callisthenic exercises and are easily applicable and accessible [8,29].…”

Crossfit has been mostly preferred by recreational athletes to date, however future studies are needed to determine whether their impact on professional athletes is sufficient [12,25].…”

Investigating the Effects of Am rap and Classic Cross-fit Training in Freestyle Wrestlers on Physical Fitness Parameters

“…49 Yüksel et al stated that the 8-week Cindy CrossFit study was effective on jumping performance. 21 Sparkles and Behm reported that stable and unstable CrossFit methods provided similar improvement in jump performance. 50 In the study of Goins investigating the effects of 6-week CrossFit training on some physical and physiological variables, they reported that there was no effect on vertical jump values.…”

“…In the study of Goins conducted on some physical and physiological variables of 6week CrossFit training, they stated that there was a significant improvement in the deadlift, squat, and shoulder press values.17 Dilber and Doğru reported that CrossFitbased HIFT (high-intensity functional training) training was significantly effective on the right and left-hand claw strength, leg strength, and back strength in their study with the participants with an average age of 23.62 ± 5.39 years 20. Yüksel et al, stated that the 8-week Cindy CrossFit study was effective in strength development 21. Perna et al,…”

“…20 In addition, as an indicator of anaerobic power output, statistically significant increases were observed in vertical jump parameters after 8 weeks in Cindy training modeling. 21 After the literature was reviewed thoroughly, it was observed that this issue should be examined closely and revealed well to have a better understanding. Even though there are studies related to Classic CrossFit training, there is still a lack of studies to grasp the importance of AMRAP and its effects in this respect.…”
