AB The main purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a psychological training intervention basedon emotional regulation on anxiety and climbing ability in women climbers with fear of falling.A secondary aim was to compare the outcomes of climbing ability, anxiety, self-confidence and interoceptiveawareness (IA) between the psychological group (PG), a training (TG) and a control group. Selfreportedclimbing ability, anxiety and IA were assessed using Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 andthe Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness questionnaire. Results indicateda significant improvement in climbing ability for both PG and TG. The PG showed a significant reductionin cognitive and somatic anxiety, while the TG only exhibited a reduction in cognitive anxiety. Moreover,the PG demonstrated a greater significant increase in self-confidence compared to the TG. IA improved infive subscales for the PG, whereas the TG changed in only two subscales. In conclusion, a psychologicaltraining intervention focusing on emotional regulation might contribute to improvements in IA, reducedanxiety levels, and enhancements in climbing ability and self-confidence among women climbers facingfear of falling.
