... according to the above given criteria. Also the data sources of the UIAA and IFSC Medical Commissions were analyzed. Overall, alpine (traditional) climbing has a higher injury risk than sport climbing, especially indoor climbing. Alpine and ice climbing have more objective dangers which can affect climber...

... prevalence) [ 12 ]. An example of a prevalence rate published in the adventure and extreme sport injury literature is percent rates for specific conditions such as radiographic changes in the hands and fingers of 12 young, high-level climbers [ 13 ]. A limitation of prevalence data is that only injuries...

... exercise tests and cardiorespiratory fitness tests, while a feeble effect in the modulation of muscle contraction and attenuation of muscle damage was documented. Altitude was found to increase oxidative stress and reduce red blood cell deformability in climbers [ 70 , 71 ]. A supplementation with 300 mg...

... prevalence of seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp has been described in sun-exposed mountain guides in Austria, Switzerland, and Germany [ 7 ]. Moreover, it has been calculated that exposure of the scalp to UVR in mountain climbers is in a range up to 17 minimal erythema doses/day [ 8 ]. While LE...

In contrast to other non-adapted populations who increase haemoglobin levels and maintain oxygen saturation in response to hypoxia (with often adverse consequences...
