For this, 48 active and experienced athletes in the field of indoor rock climbing with skill level V7 to V11 of were selected purposefully. The present research method is descriptive and correlational. The research tools are attention test and researcher-made functional perception test. The analysis of data was done by Spss software and using descriptive and inferential statistical methods of linear regression. The findings of the data analysis showed that the level of attention can predict the performance perception of the climber. Therefore, it can be concluded that the optimal amount of attention can create accurate perception related to the act of rock climbing and increase the success of the athlete.<br><br>The aim of the present study is to investigate the role of attention in predicting the functional perception The aim of the present study is to investigate the role of attention in predicting the functional perception of indoor rock climbers.
