Introduction: CrossFit can have a number benefits, but it can also culminate in the exponential appearance of injuries, specifically in the shoulder, due to the intensity of the training. Objective: To verify, through a literature review, the incidence and risk factors that can cause shoulder injuries generated in the incorrect practice of CrossFit. Methodology: Bibliographic, exploratory study carried out through a literature review. Results: Intensity, repetition of gymnastic and Olympic movements, lack of an instructor, less than 6 months of experience, previous injury, exercises such as ring dips, squat cleans, overhead squats, and push presses were the determining factors for shoulder injuries. Conclusion: The factors identified can help to design effective preventive strategies to reduce injury rates and help CrossFit grow as a safe and effective exercise program.
