While concussions are less common in Sport Climbing than in contact sports, it is essential to have clear protocols to ensure athlete safety when incidents occur. The IFSC Medical & Anti-Doping Commission has adapted best practices from other sports and developed Sport Climbing, specific “return to sport” guidelines. These guidelines were created in collaboration with a leading expert involved in the SCAT 6 consensus, ensuring evidence-based and sport-appropriate care for all athletes.
