• Abstract:

  Crossfit is an increasingly popular form of physical training worldwide. However, it is a relatively new modality with more and more studies with scientific rigor and several myths about the practice. Therefore, the present work aims to investigate the effects of supplementation on the performance of exercises practiced during crossfit. To this end, a literature review was carried out that addressed the themes already studied on the subject, establishing the correlation. Based on the studies found, it was possible to observe that supplementation improved performance in crossfit athletes, but there were no changes in muscle strength, muscle mass and VO2max.
