 Methods: Forty-nine elite climbers (mean age 15.02±2.68 years) and forty-four healthy sedentary controls (mean age 14.48±1.17 years) participated in this study. Postural assessment was conducted with New York Posture Rating Chart. McGill Core Endurance Test was used to assess the core endurance levels of the participants. 
 Results: Of the participants included in the study, 58.2% were male and 41.8% were female. 69.3% of the climbers had been involved in climbing for more than 2 years.
