Scientists study what makes climbers excel – and how fatigue hurts performance
NCT ID NCT06830655
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how joint flexibility, balance, and tiredness affect climbing performance in both elite and amateur climbers. Researchers will test 60 healthy climbers to see if flexible joints help or hurt, and how fatigue impacts reaction time and safety. The goal is to understand key skills that improve climbing and reduce injury risk.
