CrossFit® is high-intensity functional exercise. Despite the numerous benefits, some inappropriate attitudes can cause damage to the physiological function. Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a syndrome that can occur in CrossFit® practitioners when energy consumption and training volume are not adequate. Risk eating behaviors can contribute to low energy availability and, consequently, to the development of RED-S. The study aims to analyze the occurrence of inappropriate eating behaviors for the development of RED-S in CrossFitⓇ practitioners. The sample consisted of 69 CrossFit® practitioners, of both sexes, residing in Fortaleza-Ceará, aged 19 to 59 years and who had performed CrossFit® for at least 1 year. The LEAF-Q, EAAT and BSQ questionnaires were used and the anthropometric assessment was performed by calculating the Body Mass Index (BMI) and analyzing the percentage of body fat. The data were stored in the Microsoft Excel 2016 program and later smoothed in the Jamovi Version X program. A risk of RED-S was observed in 32.7% of the participants, presence of body dissatisfaction in 26.4% of the members and that the prevalence of injuries was of 31.6%, with no significant differences between genders. The EAAT score was slightly higher in women. A positive association between fat percentage and BMI and fat percentage and body dissatisfaction was analyzed. Therefore, due to the high intensity of CrossFit® training, the investigation of RED-S is necessary due to the numerous impacts on health. ; CrossFit® es un ejercicio funcional de alta intensidad. A pesar de los numerosos beneficios, algunas actitudes inadecuadas pueden perjudicar la función fisiológica. La Deficiencia Energética Relativa en el Deporte (RED-S) es un síndrome que puede ocurrir en practicantes de CrossFit® cuando no hay un consumo adecuado de energía y volumen de entrenamiento. Las conductas alimentarias riesgosas pueden contribuir a la baja disponibilidad de energía y, en consecuencia, al desarrollo de RED-S. El estudio tiene ...
