The Risks in Climbing The AAC data from the 2020 report also found a significant one third of reported injuries (865 out of the 2,724 climbing incidents) occurred during descent. Scand J Med Sci Sports 2009; 19 (6), Competitive rock climbing is a fast-growing sport. Despite its increasing participation, there is no knowledge synthesis of head injuries (HIs), defined as any Injuries in this setting do differ from the injury types known from rock climbing injuries as they are located on the lower extremity more often. The objective was to examine injury rates and associated risk factors in a representative sample of climbers. Rock climbers are particularly susceptible to shoulder injuries due to repetitive upper-limb movements on vertical or overhanging terrain. Knowing what factors contribute to added injury risk can We aimed to investigate potential risk factors for injury as well as possible protective behaviors among recreational female climbers. The evidence for the risk factors of training volume, age/years of climbing experience, and sex was The fatality rate of climbing accidents reported in the literature varies widely. This study evaluated A majority of climbers who sought treatment were referred to subspecialist providers. It emphasizes on physical Background Rock climbing is an increasingly popular sport worldwide, as a recreational activity and a competitive sport. To date, little data exists to test this hypothesis. Scand J Med Sci Sports 19:850–856 Data were extracted from included studies and reported descriptively for population, climbing sport type, study design, injury definition and incidence/prevalence, risk Introduction Competitive rock climbing is a fast-growing sport.
