Is it true that CrossFit training increases the risk of injury compared with other forms of exercise?

Unclear. Several studies document injury rates and risk factors among CrossFit participants, but none directly compares CrossFit injury risk with that of other forms of exercise, so the comparative claim is only partially addressed.
