Background The number of athletes engaged in climbing sports has risen. Specific physical
and psychological skills are required. The objective of this review was to determine factors …

The research base for rock climbing has expanded substantially in the past three decades
as worldwide interest in the sport has grown. An important trigger for the increasing research …

Albeit differences in climbing-specific strength of the forearms have been demonstrated
between lead and boulder climbers, little is known about the potential differences in force …

Background Climbing is a physical activity and sport involving many subdisciplines.
Minimization of prolonged pauses, use of a relatively simple path through a route and …

Purpose: An advanced system for the assessment of climbing-specific performance was
developed and used to:(a) investigate the effect of arm fixation (AF) on construct validity …

The goal of this study was to (i) assess the physical and anthropometric differences between
three levels of climbers and (ii) predict climbing ability by using a multiple regression model …

This study aimed to (1) evaluate the effect of hand shaking during recovery phases of
intermittent testing on the time–force characteristics of performance and muscle …

Due to the increasing popularity of climbing, the corresponding diagnostics are gaining in
importance for both science and practice. This review aims to give an overview of the quality …

Intermittent isometric endurance of the forearm flexors is a determinant factor of sport
climbing performance. However, little is known about the best method to improve grip …
