As this is a high-intensity training modality, CrossFit® practitioners are required to have an advanced technique to perform the exercises correctly. This causes the prevalence of injuries to be higher during Crossfit® training when compared to other more conventional exercises. Thus, the objective of the research was to identify the prevalence of injuries among crossfit practitioners in Barra do Garças, Mato Grosso. For this, a descriptive, exploratory, and crosssectional study was carried out, whose data collection took place through the application of questionnaires to practitioners of Crossfit® boxes. A total of 132 individuals participated in the survey, most were women who trained five times a week. As for injuries, 44.7% of the total number of participants stated that they developed injuries and the main areas affected were the lumbar spine, shoulders, wrist, and knee. The main injury-related events were the wrong movements associated with excessive load and repetitions. It is noted that the presence of professionals in the field of Physical Education, trained and qualified, is one of the best means to prevent injuries during Crossfit® training in the municipality of Barra do Garças.
