Abstract

Background: The current study aims to determine the acute effects of rock and ice climbing on a particular strength, circulation, and tactile feeling features that could affect climbing performance when considered together, such as handgrip strength (HS), oxygen saturation (SpO(2)), heart rate (HR), and tactile discrimination using two-point discrimination (TPD). To this end, 13 rock climbers and 16 ice climbers, who had at least ten years of experience, participated in the study.
