Introduction: Climbing consists in raising or moving the body using the arms or the arms and legs from a suspension or a holding position...climbing with the arms and legs recruits the muscles of the entire body, in particular the core and upper limbs. Objectives: Our primary goal is to find out how often the subjects from Romania are engaged in climbing activities and what the most popular types of climbing are. Methods: Throughout the school period of March 4, 2019 to March 11, 2019, 83 (46 boys with a mean age of 12.84±1.24, and 37 girls with a mean age of 12.83±1. 23) children were examined. 68.7% of the children were urban residents and 31.3% were rural residents. Results: On a weekly basis, 14.5% of respondents experience some form of climbing. The 64% of respondents say that their school gym has equipment (rope, rod, ribbed wall) that is suitable for practicing climbing. 89.2% of respondents have been climbing a forest adventure park at least once. However, 30% of these have been at least 5 times and another 35% 3-4 times in an adventure park. Discussion: Climbing is a movement skill that needs to be taught. Its teaching is prescribed in current and older Romanian school curricula. The teaching of its simpler forms in almost every school could be possible by a physical educator or teacher. It would be important to teach and practice as it has many benefits for children, as studies have shown. Conclusion: The interviewed children have already tried several types of climbing, among which tree climbing dominates. Of the climbs which use safety equipment, indoor and obstacle course climbs are more common.
Keywords: climbing, obstacle climbing, ropes challenge course, physical activity.
