Climbing is a multidisciplinary sport, where the main objective is to reach the highest point of a rock wall or to reach the end of an established route. There are different types of modalities: sport climbing and traditional climbing. The risks and precautions taken with respect to this sport will directly affect the epidemiology of injuries related to its practice. The present study was designed to identify and characterize the most frequent injuries in the feet of climbers and to determine if there is a relationship between the injuries that appear and the time spent practicing the sport.
A total of 53 people were collected, 32 men and 21 women, corresponding to the climbers of the FEXME (Extremadura Federation of Mountain and Climbing). To determine the diagnoses, exploratory tests, classified according to the variables to be studied, are carried out: inspection variables and questionnaire variables.
The average number of years of climbing was seven years, and the average number of hours of training per week was 6.6 h. Some type of alterations were presented in 70% of the respondents, and foot pain was present during climbing in 45% of the participants. The -value showed a relationship between years of climbing and the occurrence of chronic foot injuries ( = 0.035), however, there is no relationship between the occurrence of injuries and chronological age.
We can see that the most frequent injuries in the practice of climbing are claw toes, dermal alterations such as bursitis of the first toe and hallux limitus, followed by hallux valgus. Similarly, only a significant relationship was found between the number of years of climbing and the appearance of foot injuries.
攀岩是一项多学科的运动，主要目标是到达岩壁的最高点或到达既定路线的终点。有不同类型的运动模式：运动攀岩和传统攀岩。在这项运动中，采取的风险和预防措施将直接影响与实践相关的伤害的流行病学。本研究旨在确定和描述攀岩者脚部最常见的伤害，并确定出现的伤害与练习该运动的时间之间是否存在关系。
共收集了 53 人，其中 32 名男性和 21 名女性，他们是 Extremadura Federation of Mountain and Climbing（山地和攀岩埃斯特雷马杜拉联盟）的攀岩者。为了确定诊断，根据要研究的变量对探索性测试进行分类：检查变量和问卷变量。
平均攀岩年限为 7 年，平均每周训练时间为 6.6 小时。70%的受访者出现某种类型的改变，45%的参与者在攀岩时出现脚部疼痛。-值显示出与攀爬年限和慢性足部损伤发生之间的关系（=0.035），然而，受伤发生与年龄没有关系。
我们可以看到，在攀岩实践中最常见的伤害是爪形脚趾、第一脚趾囊炎和趾骨狭窄等皮肤改变，其次是拇外翻。同样，只有在攀爬年限与脚部受伤出现之间发现了显著的关系。
