An empirical study on the relationship between state anxiety, acute mountain sickness, oxygen saturation, and rating of perceived exertion among graduate students during high-altitude mountaineering.

For STAI-Y1, baseline scores in the AMS group (49.9 ± 10.4) tended to be higher than those in the non-AMS group (39.8 ± 16.0), although this difference did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.161). 3.2.2 Successful versus unsuccessful summiters With respect to summit success, non-summiters showed significantly higher state anxiety than summiters, both before the climb (52.9 vs. 39.3, p < 0.05) and after the climb (52.0 vs. 34.7, p < 0.05), with STAI-Y1 scores consistently higher in the non-summit group.
