Abstract
Introduction and Objective: This research explores the use of drone technology to enhance safety, route planning efficiency, and psychological comfort in extreme sports, with a focus on rock climbing. The objective is to determine how drones can contribute to performance improvements in these areas. Methodology: Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study assesses the impact of drone surveillance on key performance indicators, including emergency response times, route planning accuracy, and athlete confidence. Results: Findings indicate that drones significantly reduce emergency response times by enabling quicker hazard identification and navigation, thereby improving overall safety. Drone-assisted route planning also proves to be more efficient and accurate, facilitating better decision-making in complex terrains. Furthermore, drones enhance athletes' psychological comfort, leading to increased confidence and security during high-risk activities. Conclusions: Despite the advantages, challenges such as technological dependency and potential drone malfunctions in extreme environments are acknowledged. Future research should investigate the reliability of drones under diverse conditions and explore further applications in sports. The study advocates for the broader adoption of drones, highlighting their potential to significantly improve safety protocols, training strategies, and athlete well-being in extreme sports.
