Physical fitness and physical preparation for Climbing Damavand Iran
A very good physical fitness is required to climb to the summit of Damavand Mountain 5671 meters and an ordinary physical fitness is necessary to ascend to the Camp 3 4250 meters.
Any of the following sport activities or a combination of them are useful to get ready for ascend to Mt Damavand peak.
The best places to do these exercises, if you have any access, are mountains and hills.
- Regular mount climbing, once to twice a week.
- Walking for 2 hours 3 times a week.
- Running (slowly) for 1 to 2 hours twice a week.
- It is a good idea to sleep few nights at high altitude for acclimatization (above 3000m, if possible).
These physical preparations are also very helpful to get fit for the climb.
- Cycling for 2 hours twice a week
- Swimming for 2 hour twice a week.
