Abstract:
Within only two decades, sport climbing has developed into an activity performed by a large group of the active population in every (western) country, with nearly all ages being represented. The difficulties now overcome by most athletes are in advance of those expected 20 years ago. Nevertheless, publications, which focus on sport climbing undertaken by those with chronic diseases like hypertension or coronary heart disease, are rare. The actual paper defines the criteria that must be fulfilled for safe sport climbing, and gives advice on preventive medical care.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
