Introduction: All the research investigating cardiopulmonary capacity in climbers is focused on predictors for climbing performance. The effects of cardiovascular system adolescents at an elite level (national team) have not been evaluated.Material and methods: Retrospective analysis exercise test (CPET) performed a cycle ergometer during annual medical examination entire German Junior National...

Rock climbers are likely to exhibit preference heterogeneity dictating the way with which such sport is practiced. This has a reflection on the population’s structure of recreational values of rock-climbing destinations, their attributes, and to land management policies. We test this hypothesis on a panel of destination choices by a sample of members of the Italian Alpine Club. Using a latent-c...

A group of rock climbers were classified into two categories, deliberate or precautionary risk-takers, using the Risk-Taking Inventory (RTI). The aim study was to determine if these categories played a role in sensation-seeking behaviour. also aimed type risk-taking behaviour correlated with number injuries sustained by participants. quantitative nature and an exploratory design used. sample 70...

In the Neotropics, the genus Hydrangea of the popular ornamental hortensia family is represented by climbing species that strongly cling to their support surface by means of adhesive roots closely positioned along specialized anchoring stems. These root-climbing hortensia species belong to the nearly exclusive American Hydrangea section Cornidia and generally are long lianescent climbers that m...

In this paper we apply chaotic systems to the task of sequence variation for the purpose of aiding humans in setting indoor rock climbing routes. This work expands on prior work where similar variations were used to assist in dance choreography and music composition. We present a formalization for transcription of rock climbing problems and a variation generator which is tuned for our domain an...
