Article Synopsis
- Climbing is gaining popularity but can lead to specific overuse injuries, particularly in the upper body, which may be preventable through understanding risk factors and injury prevention strategies.
- A systematic review was conducted, following PRISMA guidelines, to analyze 34 relevant peer-reviewed studies focusing on overuse injuries in adult climbers, assessing factors like injury incidence and prevention methods.
- Key findings revealed that higher climbing intensity, the bouldering type, reduced grip strength, and prior injuries increased overuse injury risk, while specific strength training interventions helped prevent certain injuries; other common factors like BMI or warm-ups showed no significant link to injury risk.
