Motivational aspects in adult practitioners of sport climbing

Abstract

The general objective of this study was to identify the reasons that lead adults to practice sport climbing, considering intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The methodology used here was to study specific cases. It was concluded that climbers aim, mainly, the technical improvement through specific training for the sport of climbing, seeking to evolve in the sport besides maintaining good physical and mental conditions. Physical education professionals should be capable of prescribing targeted training for climbers, working on technical skills, and considering the importance of the sense of pleasure, in addition to improving physical fitness, quality of life, and health promotion. Climbers should also be aware of the importance of complementary activities, such as aerobic resistance and flexibility to improve their physical fitness.
