About this study
Official title: Assessment of Resting Metabolic Rate, Nutritional Habits, and the Risk of Eating Disorders Among Children and Adolescents Practicing Sport Climbing
The aim of this observational study is to evaluate resting metabolic rate (RMR), body composition, dietary habits, nutrition-related beliefs, and the risk of eating disorders among children and adolescents practicing sport climbing. Participants will undergo indirect calorimetry to assess RMR, anthropometric and body composition measurements, complete validated questionnaires, and provide a three-day food diary.
Read the detailed description
Sport climbing is characterized by high physical demands and a relatively low body mass, which may influence nutritional practices and increase the risk of disordered eating behaviors among young athletes. However, limited data are available regarding resting metabolic rate, dietary habits, nutrition-related beliefs, and eating disorder risk in this population.
The objective of this study is to assess resting metabolic rate, body composition, dietary habits, nutrition-related beliefs, and eating disorder risk among children and adolescents engaged in regular sport climbing training.
Participants will attend one study visit during which resting metabolic rate will be measured using indirect calorimetry. Body height and body composition will be assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Participants will complete the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), the ORTO-R questionnaire, the KomPAN questionnaire (Parts A, B, and C), and a questionnaire regarding climbing level and weekly physical activity.
Participants will also complete a three-day dietary record before or after the study visit. Associations between resting metabolic rate, body composition, dietary habits, nutrition-related beliefs, training characteristics, and eating disorder risk will be analyzed.

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Resting Metabolic Rate (time frame: Baseline.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jul 2026.
