The aim of the study was to assess the effect of climbing on static and dynamic balance and to determine the usefulness of such training in supporting the fitness of young adults with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities.
The study involved 47 men and 21 women aged 18-25 years. The experimental group participated in classes on an artificial climbing wall for 15 weeks. At that time, the control group did not participate in any organised sports activities. The balance was assessed twice using tests: a bench walk, a functional reach, a single leg stance with the eyes open and closed, and a BTS P-WALK baroresistive platform.
In the experimental group there were improvements in functional reach test by 7.79 cm (p < .001), balance walk test by 0.47 pts (p = .003), improvements in frontal and sagittal plane stability, and tilting area in the closed eyes test. The changes that were observed in the control group were not statistically significant.
Climbing activities can be part of a rehabilitation program to improve balance.
本研究旨在评估攀岩对静态和动态平衡的影响，并确定此类训练对支持轻度和中度智力残疾的年轻人健康状况的有效性。
该研究纳入了47名男性和21名年龄在18至25岁之间的女性。实验组参加了为期15周的人工攀岩墙课程。在此期间，对照组未参加任何有组织的体育活动。使用以下测试对平衡能力进行了两次评估：长凳行走测试、功能性伸展测试、睁眼和闭眼单腿站立测试以及BTS P-WALK压力感受性平台测试。
实验组在功能性伸展测试中提高了7.79厘米（p < .001），在平衡行走测试中提高了0.47分（p = .003），在额状面和矢状面稳定性以及闭眼测试中的倾斜面积方面均有改善。对照组观察到的变化无统计学意义。
攀岩活动可以成为改善平衡的康复计划的一部分。
