Injury prevention and recovery for CrossFit

CrossFit combines heavy lifting, explosive movements, high-intensity reps, and exercises that demand a very wide range of joint motion — a combination that puts the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles through far greater joint wear than many other sports. Elbow and wrist tendinitis from repeated lifting, knee discomfort from squats and jumps, ankle instability during plyometric exercises, leg muscle overload from high-intensity WODs, and joint wear accumulated from training volume are very common issues among practitioners of all levels.

In a sport where the joints face such demanding conditions, caring for them both from the outside and the inside is essential. That's why, at Solusports, we especially recommend the Incrediwear range: the Incrediwear Arm Sleeve, with its semi-conductive technology that increases local blood circulation and speeds up elbow and forearm recovery after intense lifting sessions; the Incrediwear knee sleeve, which supports circulation and joint recovery after squats, jumps, and repeated loading; and the Incrediwear ankle sleeve, which helps reduce inflammation during high-impact exercises like burpees or box jumps. All three share the same scientifically validated technology to optimize the body's natural healing process, with a breathable fabric that doesn't restrict mobility — essential in a sport with such demanding ranges of motion.

For the leg muscles, heavily strained during squats, deadlifts, and plyometric exercises, Knapman compression shorts (25% and 45%) stabilize the hamstrings and quadriceps, reducing muscle fatigue during demanding WODs. And to speed up recovery after every session, the RS7 hot/cold gel helps relieve inflammation in overloaded joints or muscles after intense training.

As an essential complement, RS7 Plus capsules support your joints from within, helping protect cartilage against the wear accumulated from CrossFit's volume and intensity — especially recommended if you train frequently or already experience recurring joint discomfort.
