In this study, we sought to determine the prevalence of exercise dependence in practitioners of extreme conditioning programs, analyzing its impact on quality of life, risk of injuries and sensitivity to pain. 368 Crossfit® practitioners and the Exercise Addiction inventory questionnaire was used to assess dependence, the WHOQOL-bref to assess dependence quality of life, and, to assess the risks of a possible musculoskeletal injury, the Sport Readiness Questionnaire with a Focus on Musculoskeletal Injuries was used. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, Spearman correlation and Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). All analyzes were carried out considering a significance level of 5%. The dependence prevalence was 14.40% and a correlation was found between dependence and the physical domain (r = 0.125, p = 0.017) and between the environmental domain and dependence (r =-0.142, p = 0.006). An association was also found between positive dependence and the environment domain (OR: 1.094, CI = 1.046-1.143). The prevalence of exercise dependence was 14.40%. Dependence can influence negatively on the environmental domain and positively on the physical domain.
