Geometric Entropy for Lead vs Top-Rope Rock Climbing

International Journal of Exercise Science, 2016
International Journal of Exercise Science 9(2): 168-174, 2016. The complexity of movement of a rock climber’s center of mass during an ascent has been described as geometric entropy (GE). It has been proposed that lower geometric entropy could represent more fluid and economical movement during climbing.

Surface Mechanical Effects of Wildfires on Rocks in Climbing Areas

Fire, 2023
Wildfires are widely recognized as a cause of mechanical damage to rocks. Nevertheless, previous research has neglected how wildfires might impact sport climbing areas. In Spain, two large wildfires affected two climbing areas between 2020 and 2021. This

Design Study of a Data Analysis Tool for Lead Climbing

Proceedings of the 35th Conference on l'Interaction Humain-Machine
We present a design study of an analytical tool for lead climbing performances, created in collaboration with the French Federation of Climbing (FFME). Its goal is to facilitate the exploration of a dataset to identify new performance indicators and better train French athletes. Regular interviews enabled us to identify the analysts' needs and design a

Psychological factors that influence performance in youth advanced climbers

Social Sciences and Humanities Open, 2023
Introduction: Rock climbing performance in lead can be measured in two ways: on-sight and red-point. On-sight climbing demands greater physiological and psychological factors. There are five main recurring themes that keep climbers highly motivated: risk

Effect of an on-sight lead on the physiological and psychological responses to rock climbing. [PDF]

Journal of sports science & medicine, 2013
Rock climbing is a multi-discipline activity that encompasses forms such as bouldering, top roping and lead climbing on natural and artificial climbing surfaces. A major focus of research has been explanation of physiological functioning. More recent research indicates that anxiety levels are elevated for less experienced climbers and in response to ...

Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury Leads to Sex-Specific Deficits in Rearing and Climbing in Adult Mice

Physiological Research, 2021
The study examined the morphological and long-term behavioral impacts of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in a mouse model. We investigated the modification of different behavioral domains, such as spontaneous climbing, which represents fine motor skills. We also focused on sex-dependent differences during hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Heart Rate Behavior in Speed Climbing

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Speed climbing is an Olympic discipline within the combined sport climbing event in 2020 for the first time. Speed climbing is a high-speed and anaerobic exercise against gravity over a few seconds with extreme psychological pressure.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
