Physical and Physiological Determinants of Rock Climbing [PDF]
International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2020 Purpose: Rock climbing performance relies on many characteristics. Herein, the authors identified the physical and physiological determinants of peak performance in rock climbing across the range from lower grade to elite. Methods: Forty four male and 33 female climbers with onsight maximal climbing grades 5a–8a and 5a–7b+, respectively, were tested ...

Hemodynamic and cardiorespiratory predictors of sport rock climbing performance [PDF]
, 2018 Rock climbing performance has been suggested to involve a notable contribution from the aerobic metabolism. Previously it has been shown that forearm oxygenation kinetics can be used to distinguish ability groups and predict red-point sport climbing ...
