Effects of a 12-Week CrossFit-Adapted Program on Balance, Functional Mobility, and Lower-Limb Power in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCrossFit could be an innovative alternative for older adults. Traditional strength training is well-established for safety and progressive overload, while concerns exist about overexertion or poor technique in modified CrossFit, especially for those with musculoskeletal or cardiovascular conditions. However, scaled and supervised CrossFit sessions have shown low injury rates and high satisfaction among older adults.
objectiveto evaluate the effects of a CrossFit-adapted program on balance and muscular power.
methods60 older adults participated in the study. Participants were randomized into two groups: CrossFit-adapted and control. Functional capacity, balance and strength variables were analyzed. The sample size was calculated a priori using G*Power 3.1 software, considering an effect size of 0.25 [medium], α = 0.05, and a power [1-β] of 0.80 for a repeated-measures ANOVA with two groups and three measurement points. Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics version 25.
resultsSignificant improvements in balance scores were observed in the CrossFit group compared to the control group. In the Timed Up and Go test, the CrossFit group improved from 9.83 ± 1.3 s to 8.74 ± 1.1 s, [
conclusionsA CrossFit-adapted program can significantly improve functional capacity, balance, and strength in older adults.
