Fear and Muscle Activity in Climbing

This study introduces a multimodal dataset collected to investigate the psychophysiological relationship between perceived fear and muscle activity in climbers. The dataset includes physiological, motion, and subjective data from 19 climbers during \textit{lead} and \textit{top rope climbing} ascent styles, which differ in perceived risk due to varying fall distances. Physiological data were recorded using EMG, ECG, and IMU sensors. Additionally, subjective fear ratings were collected at distinct phases of the climb. This dataset provides a valuable resource for researchers exploring fear, physiological states, and the development of personalized predictive models in climbing and other psychophysiological domains.
