Climbing time to exhaustion is a determinant of climbing performance in high-level sport climbers
European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2009We studied which physiological and kinanthropometric characteristics determine climbing performance in 16 high-level sports climbers aged 29.9 +/- 4.9 years. Body composition parameters were measured with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scanner. We also measured kinanthropometric and physical fitness parameters.

Physiological determinants of climbing-specific finger endurance and sport rock climbing performance
Journal of Sports Sciences, 2007The aim of the study was to examine several physiological responses to a climbing-specific task to identify determinants of endurance in sport rock climbing. Finger strength and endurance of intermediate rock climbers (n = 11) and non-climbers (n = 9) were compared using climbing-specific apparatus. After maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) trials, two

Co-designing wearable devices for sports: The case study of sport climbing
International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 2019Abstract This paper presents the co-design process of a wearable device for rock climbing, an extreme sport that requires high physical, emotional, and cognitive involvement. From the preliminary investigation of climbers’ needs, it emerged that their acceptance of wearables is mainly influenced by climbing sport-specific values like self-efficacy ...

[Arm injuries due to sport climbing].
Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2008There are 26 large climbing centres and 44 smaller indoor or outdoor climbing walls in The Netherlands at this time. Hand and finger injuries are the most common types of sport climbing injuries. Most injuries are caused by overstraining. Injuries include avulsion fractures, arthrosis, pulley rupture, damage to joint capsule and collateral ligaments ...

Biomechanics of sport climbing
2010The main goal of the project is to contribute to climbing research through biomechanical analysis of real sport climbing situations rather than relying on laboratory experimental set-ups outwith climbing gyms and facilities. Thus, most of the studies presented in the subsequent chapters were done at different climbing facilities in Singapore.
