Sports injuries are one of the dangers that Mountaineer always face, and by identifying them, we can provide a suitable solution to prevent and reduce the risk of these injuries. The purpose of this study is to investigate the injuries of Mountaineering sports prospectively in men and women.

Also, in examining the causes of injuries, there were 27 and 26 acute injuries and 13 and 11 overuse injuries in women and men, respectively. According to the findings and the possible risks of sports injuries for male and female Mountaineer, special focus should be made to prevent the reduction of injuries and complaints of Mountaineer, before these injuries become chronic, especially in women who engage in mountain Mountaineer every week.
