Conclusion

Abstract

Throughout this book, we have dealt with the specificities of hand injuries resulting from that fascinating though demanding sport that climbing is. Fingers are the key part to achieve a great performance. Most of the time, climbers account for their failure by mentioning a lack of strength in their fingers, putting aside all the other factors which may have been involved in that bad performance. Consequently, climbers tend to overuse these fingers, doing training sessions more and more intensive and sometimes up to the limits. Therefore, it is a priority to bear in mind all the factors involved to succeed but also to strengthen all the proper muscles in order to reduce finger injuries.
