ABSTRACT

Rock-climbing has become very popular adventure sport across the globe. Researchers have begun to investigate how adventure sport athletes perform in a manner that reduces the likelihood of serious mishap, injury or even death. In this paper, we utilize a collaborative autoethnographic approach to explicate a serious traditional rock-climbing accident to better understand the accident experience and consider how this event might be useful to enhance effective performance. Findings suggest that effective performance and training for effective performance in traditional rock-climbing (and potentially all adventure sports) requires in-depth environmental and self-knowledge factors and the ability to tune into and adapt to moment-by-moment alterations in internal states and the physical environment. The impacts of these findings include the recognition that effective climbing is not determined solely by personality factors or a winners mentality, as reflected in traditional sport contexts, but on the reinforcement of humility and self-awareness.

摘要

攀岩已成为全球非常流行的冒险运动。研究人员已开始调查冒险运动运动员如何以减少严重事故、伤害甚至死亡可能性的方式进行。在本文中，我们利用协作自动人种学方法来解释严重的传统攀岩事故，以更好地了解事故经历并考虑该事件如何有助于提高有效性能。研究结果表明，在传统攀岩（以及可能所有的冒险运动）中有效表现和有效表现的训练需要深入的环境和自我认识因素以及调整和适应内部状态每时每刻变化的能力和物理环境。
