Abstract
With the professionalization of the sport and the first-time inclusion in the Olympic Games program, the risk of injury and overuse damage in competitive athletes grows, both in adults and in adolescents. In particular, more attention should be paid to training and competition in childhood and adolescence, and specific anatomical conditions and risk constellations should be addressed. With the growing pressure to perform on a professional competitive level, anti-doping considerations will also become increasingly important in the future, and the first known cases of doping will reach the sport. Even though there is little evidence of this topic so far, increasing the awareness of all participants (athletes, coaches, fans, etc.) regarding the subject of anti-doping is of utmost importance. Sufficient anti-doping work; intensified doping controls, both in training and in competition; and a close connection to sports-medical supervision are indispensable. For the first time, the Olympic Games will open up the largest possible stage for the sport of climbing, and worldwide interest will be focused on the sport. It is therefore even more important to raise awareness of the principles and implementation of the anti-doping strategies within the sport and also to provide low-injury, exciting, climbing competitions.
