Beschreibung: This study aimed to synthesize the literature comparing muscle strength and endurance characteristics between 1) sport climbers and non-climbing controls; 2) sport climbers at different performance levels; and 3) boulderers and lead climbers.A systematic literature search (PubMed, Embase and SportDiscus) was performed. Inclusion criteria involved participants aged ≥18, muscular performance measurements and comparisons of either: climbers and non-climbers, boulder climbers and lead-climbers, or climbers of different levels. Meta-analyses comparing grip strength and muscle endurance of the forearm between sport climbers and non-climbers, and finger strength between boulders and lead climbers were conducted providing the standardized mean difference (SMD).A total of 960 climbers and 301 non-climbers were included in the study. The data showed: 1) Compared to non-climbers, climbers showed significantly higher grip strength: SMD 1.82 (95% CI 1.23; 2.41, P
