The impact of sport climbing on anatomic structure and functional attributes of human feet
FIKEJSOVÁ, Veronika
The theme of this bachelor´s thesis is a study of the impact of sport climbing on structure and functional characteristics of the foot. The aim of this thesis is to compare the structure and functional characteristics of the feet of people that actively pursue sport climbing with the feet of people that do not. In the theoretical part of this thesis is briefly described climbing in all of its forms including sport climbing. There are also described functional anatomy and kinesiology of the foot, including kinetics and kinematics and basic information about proprioception. In the practical part are introduced probands that participated in this study. There are two groups of five probands. One group is comprised of active sport climbers, one group of non-climbers. There are also summary and comparison of all the data and results obtained during examinations. Final characteristics of the foot of climbers are in comparison with non-climbers rather positive. It turned out that the group of climbers has better characteristics in functional attributes of the foot, strength of the foot arch and symmetry of both feet. On the other side the group of non-climbers has better outcome in the flexibility and range of motions in selected joints.
