Currently, the physiological mechanisms that allow elite level climbers to maintain intense
isometric contractions for prolonged periods of time are unknown. Furthermore, it is unclear …

Abstract Fryer, SM, Stoner, L, Dickson, TG, Draper, SB, McCluskey, MJ, Hughes, JD, How,
SC, and Draper, N. Oxygen recovery kinetics in the forearm flexors of multiple ability groups …

This study examined differences in the oxygenation kinetics and strength and endurance
characteristics of boulderers and lead sport climbers. Using near infrared spectroscopy, 13 …

Currently it is unclear whether blood flow (BF) or muscle oxidative capacity best governs
performance during intermittent contractions to failure. The aim of this study was to …

Rock-climbing performance is largely dependent on the endurance of the forearm flexors.
Recently, it was reported that forearm flexor endurance in elite climbers is independent of …

Purpose: To examine differences in oxygenation kinetics in the nondominant and dominant
flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) of rock climbers. Methods: Participants were 28 sport …

Background. Bouldering and lead climbing are divergent disciplines of the sport of rock
climbing. Bouldering moves are short and powerful, whilst sport climbing is longer and …

Purpose: Wearing compression garments is a commonly used intervention in sports to
improve performance and facilitate recovery. Some evidence supports the use of forearm …

Hemodynamic and cardiorespiratory predictors of sport rock climbing performance. J …

The 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 …
