Diploma Thesis Ice Climbing

Hey climbers! My name is Kathrin, I am a medical student and at the moment I am working on my diploma thesis with the topic “Ice Climbing” . I really need your help to complete my work: in order to successfully conduct the study I need as many ice climbers as possible. What is it all about? The aim of my study is to analyze injury patterns which are characteristic for ice climbing. I hope that I can draw some conclusions on how one can make ice climbing a safer sport. What has to be done?   What I ask you to do for me is, to fill out a questionnaire on amount of hours spent climbing, experience, equipment, potential injuries etc. The first questionnaire will be sent out by the end of November and the study takes place until April, so there will be on the whole 6 questionnaires to be filled out. Per month, this would mean 5 minutes expenditure of time for you. Everything is carried out via mail (saving time, easy to do) and is done anonymously. Who can take part? Absolutely EVERYBODY can take part in this project, there are no limitations concerning proficiency, experience or frequency of climbing. I would be very glad if many interested and motivated ice climbers send me their email-address and thereby make it possible for me to do my diploma thesis. THANK YOU in advance for taking the time to help a student interested in sports J !! Best wishes, Kathrin Lampl Email: [email protected] Mobile: 0043676/4655999
