Our primary purpose was to examine the demographic and training characteristics of adolescent competition climbers who reported a history of a finger growth plate injury compared to those who did not report a history of a finger growth plate injury. Our secondary purpose was to determine whether training characteristics differed between adolescent competition climbers who did and did not report speed climbing. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> Our study was a cross-sectional study design. We surveyed adolescent climbers who competed in the 2017 USA Climbing Sport and Speed Youth National Championships. Questions assessed climbing injury history and current rock-climbing training characteristics. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Two-hundred sixty-seven adolescent competition climbers, 14\u00b13 (9\u201318) y of age (mean\u00b1SD with range), completed the survey. Those with a history of a finger growth plate injury reported greater approximate time spent speed climbing throughout the year (\u03b2=1.28, 95% CI 0.11\u20132.46, P=0.032) and training regularly on the International Federation of Sport Climbing speed wall (adjusted odds ratio=3.95, 95% CI 1.14\u201313.7, P=0.031). <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> Training regularly at practices on the speed wall was associated with a self-reported history of finger growth plate injuries among elite youth competition climbers. Speed climbing should be limited, especially during periods of rapid growth. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wem.2020.06.008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,24]],"date-time":"2020-09-24T22:02:00Z","timestamp":1600984920000},"page":"394-399","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["The Association of Finger Growth Plate Injury History and Speed Climbing in Youth Competition Climbers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Rachel N.","family":"Meyers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Duke University School of Medicine, Doctor of Physical Therapy Division, Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David R.","family":"Howell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado, Sports Medicine Center, Aurora, CO"},{"name":"University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aaron J.","family":"Provance","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado, Sports Medicine Center, Aurora, CO"},{"name":"University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-jwem202006008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2016-096871"},{"key":"bibr2-jwem202006008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/OAJSM.S96821"},{"key":"bibr3-jwem202006008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2007.034827"},{"key":"bibr4-jwem202006008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546506293256"},{"key":"bibr5-jwem202006008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15438627.2018.1438278"},{"key":"bibr6-jwem202006008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00256-013-1694-4"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr7-jwem202006008","first-page":"100","volume":"13","author":"Hochholzer T.","year":"1997","journal-title":"Sports Orthop Traumatol"},{"key":"bibr8-jwem202006008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1580\/PR15-04.1"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr9-jwem202006008","first-page":"27","volume":"3","author":"Schoffl I.","year":"2015","journal-title":"Eur J Sports Med"},{"key":"bibr10-jwem202006008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wem.2014.08.013"},{"key":"bibr11-jwem202006008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otsr.2016.01.016"},{"key":"bibr12-jwem202006008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546503262805"},{"key":"bibr13-jwem202006008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17030812"},{"key":"bibr14-jwem202006008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2325967116644241"}],"container-title":["Wilderness &amp; Environmental Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/article\/PII:S1080603220301186?httpAccept=text\/xml","content-type":"text\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/article\/PII:S1080603220301186?httpAccept=text\/plain","content-type":"text\/plain","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1016\/j.wem.2020.06.008","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1016\/j.wem.2020.06.008","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1016\/j.wem.2020.06.008","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,11]],"date-time":"2025-03-11T08:20:37Z","timestamp":1741681237000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1016\/j.wem.2020.06.008"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,12]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1016\/j.wem.2020.06.008"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.wem.2020.06.008","relation":{},"ISSN":["1080-6032","1545-1534"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1080-6032","type":"print"},{"value":"1545-1534","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,12]]}}}
