Independent risk factors for recurrent or multiple new injuries in CrossFit athletes.

CONCLUSIONS: There are multiple risk factors for sustaining a recurrent or second new CrossFitrelated injury requiring medical evaluation including older age, length of participation, and spring season participation. Risk factors for repeat injury related to initial evaluation and treatment include not receiving advanced imaging, receiving a corticosteroid injection, or undergoing physical therapy. The anatomic site of initial injury was not related to risk of subsequent injury in this population. PMID: 32674536 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
