Abstract

It is important to preserve some bodily mobility so that people are made up of a system based on movement and the organism remains healthy and vigorous. Crossfit is a widely preferred sport in recent years. For this reason, the aim of the study is to investigate the effect of 8-week crossfit workouts on social physical anxiety levels according to genders. 45 volunteers participated in the study. Crossfit workouts were performed for 8 weeks, 3 days a week. In the first 4 weeks, crossfit model named "Cindy" was applied. In the last 4 weeks, the Chelsea model, which has the same content as the Cindy model, was applied for 30 minutes. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used in the pre- and post-test comparison of the data with no normal distribution, whereas the Mann Whitney-U test was used to compare the groups. According to the pre-post test results, there is a significant difference in body weight, BMI and SPAS values (p < 0.05). There was a significant difference in SPAS values in favor of women in the comparison between groups (p < 0.05). As a result, it was seen that social physical anxiety states were higher in women eight weeks ago. This may be due to the higher body weight and BMI rates in women compared to men.
