OVERUSE SYNDROMES IN CROSSFIT

Crossfit je zadnjih 20 godina jedna od najbrže rastućih tjelesnih aktivnosti današnjice. Jedan od razloga zašto se brzo širi, osobito među općom populacijom jest njegova svestranost odnosno količina elemenata te motoričke i funkcionalne sposobnosti koje je njome moguće razvijati. Zbog velike količine tehničkih elemenata, a time i pokreta, dolazi i do veće mogućnosti neidealnih obrazaca pokreta što je potencijalni uzrok sindroma prenaprezanja ili ozljeda. Glavni cilj ovog rada je opisati mehanizme nastanka sindroma prenaprezanja kao što su loša postura, neadekvatna aktivacija segmenata lokomotornog sustava i kompenzatorne kretnje uslijed istih, te moguće preventivne radnje. Najčešći sindromi prenaprezanja u Crossfit-u su tendinitis duge glave m. biceps brachii, patelarni tendinitis i lumbalni bolni sindrom. Moguće ih je prevenirati adekvatnom aktivacijom segmenata lokomotornog sustava te korekcijom posture, kao i pravilnom izvedbom vježbi.Crossfit has been one of the fastest growing physical activities of today for the past 20 years. One of the reasons why it spreads rapidly, especially among the general population, is its versatility, that is the amount of elements and the skill-related fitness components that can be developed with it. Due to the large amount of technical elements, and thus movement, there is a greater possibility of non-ideal patterns of movement, which is a potential cause of overexertion syndrome or injury. The main goal of this paper is to describe the mechanism of overuse syndrome such as poor posture, inadequate activation of segments of the locomotor system and compensatory movements due to them, and possible preventive actions. The most common overexertion syndromes in Crossfit are upper m.biceps brachii tendonitis, patellar tendinitis, and lumbar pain syndrome. It is possible to prevent them by adequate activation of segments of the locomotor system and posture correction, as well as proper performance of exercises
