摘要：The purpose of this study was to consider to prevalence of muscular - skeleton injuries in rock climbing, and to determine some individual performance factors such as the maximum grade of climbing, skillful hand and common type of climbing on the existence and circumstances of the injuries. In the period from February to April 2005, the previous or present injuries of 50 climbers were assessed via a clinical examination of their fingers, palms, wrists, forearms, elbows, arms and shoulder girdles. After the data gathering, statistical analyses were carried out to obtain results about the prevalence of muscular - skeleton injuries. About half of the injuries were to the fingers and the rest were approximately divided equally between the elbows-forearms and shoulder girdles. Most injury prevalence consisted of collateral ligament strain of the PIP joints, FDS and FDP muscle strain, rotator cuff muscle strain and A2 annular pulley strain. The injury prevalence rate on the basis of its appearance in the fingers is regularly found in the ring, middle, index and small finger. In subsequent processes, inferential statistics results show that among the mentioned factors, there was a significant difference in the mean of the climbing maximum grade between the groups of climbers that sustained injuries and groups of climbers without injuries (p=0.000, t=4.72). In the same way, there was a significant positive correlation between the maximum grade of climbing and the intensity of the A2 annular pulley injuries (p=0.042, r=72.5).
