Climbing Lifestyle Intervention for Modifying Physical Activity Behaviors: Pilot Study

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Lifestyle Factors, Physical Inactivity, Quality of Life

In brief

The aim of this pilot study is to determine the effects of a 12-week indoor rock climbing training program on heart health, mental health, and behavioral health in generally healthy adults aged 18-35 years old who do not exercise. Participants will learn to rock climb using ropes on an indoor rock climbing wall and participate in the training program 2-3 days per week for 60 minutes each session over 12 weeks. Health outcomes will be measured at 4 time points over the course of the study (pre-intervention, 6-weeks/mid-intervention, 12-weeks/post-intervention, and 24-weeks post-intervention).
