Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The experimental group members take part in climbing activities for the period of 12 weeks.
The participants undertook climbing twice a week under the supervision of a climbing instructor in a sports climbing hall with a professional climbing wall.
The activities take 60 minutes and consist of a general warm-up, climbing training and a cool-down part. Every group contained 10 - 11 participants.

The effectiveness of the exercise programme will be assessed based on testing the physical ability of the participants.
All the participants' motor ability will be tested using Eurofit Special and Eurofit tests, before and after the programme.
The balance of participants will be additionally tested on the BTS P-walk bar-resistant platform as well as using FRT – Functional Reach Test and Single Leg Stance Test.

All tests will be carried out by one researcher. The participants will also be requested to complete - with the help of a psychologist - a questionnaire prepared by the researcher testing their attitude towards physical activity and their attitude towards climbing activities.
