The comparison of head, shoulder, and spine position in Iranian Mountaineering and rock climbing

Athletes of different sports require constant trainings and strengthening of certain muscles in order to achieve higher levels of performance and therefore must spend a lot of time in the dominant posture of that sport. The aim of this study was to compare the position of the head, shoulder, spine Weston Mountaineering and climbing in Iran.

This study is a causal comparative study. The statistical population of this study consisted of all climbers and climbers with a history of Alborz, Isfahan, Tohran, Kordestan, Kermanshah, Gilan and Hamadan provinces. The statistical sample of the study consisted of 229 average persons (Age 27/83±9/23 years, Height 1/75±0/08 Meter، Weigh 67/56±9/69 Kg، BMI 21/94±2/50 Kg / m 2). To assess head-to-head anomalies from the side and shoulders from the anterior view, a digital camera was photographed and angled with AutoCAD 2015 software. Microsoft's Kinect camera was used to evaluate the kyphosis and lordosis of the spine.

The results showed that the angle of the forward rock climbers, most of the Mountaineering (p=0/039), Thoracic kyphosis (p=0/034) and lumbar lordosis (p=0/033) Mountaineeringin Significance was higher than rock climbers. Also, there was no significant difference in uneven shoulder complication between the two groups
