Interventions

  • Indoor Rock Climbing Exercise Training Program — BEHAVIORAL
    Training will occur 2-3 days per week for 60 minutes; ratings of perceived exertion between 3-7 on a scale of 0-10 will be targeted for the desired intensity throughout the program. Minutes of rock climbing will also be monitored to develop the progression strategy.

Study Details

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).
