Research has shown that strength is a critical performance factor in climbing. Additionally, strength training is recommended by researchers and medical professionals as a key measure for injury prevention in climbing. However, observations indicate that a significant number of climbers and boulderers approach their training unsystematically or do not engage in targeted strength training at all.

The goal of this project is to systematically capture and analyze the training habits of climbers and boulderers to identify potential barriers and opportunities for improvement. Participants will conduct a literature review to develop a comprehensive questionnaire. This questionnaire will then be used in a large-scale empirical survey, for which the students will recruit participants. Subsequently, the students will analyze the collected data and present their findings.
