Brief Summary

This study aims to determine the relationship between musculoskeletal system problems and physical risk factors in CrossFit athletes. Athletes who do CrossFit training in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Individuals will first be asked about their personal information, when they started CrossFit, and their previous injury information. Then, the muscle strength, functionality, stability, balance of the lower extremity muscles and body posture in different positions will be evaluated with the determined tests. Evaluations are in a single day and in total 45 minutes. is planned in.
