Two-Day Training Principles 4 Climbers

Presented in English

Day 1 – Testing & Athlete ProfilingDidactic Session:

• Climbing demands and energy system utilization (anaerobic-alactic, anaerobic-lactic, aerobic).

• How to use a strain gauge, linear position transducer, and SmO₂ monitor to measure:

  • Peak force, Rate of force development & power Impulse Anaerobic and aerobic capacity

• Hands-On Application: Apply testing protocols with one another (finger- and upper-body–specific). Interpret data to understand athlete physiology.

• Supplementary video library provided to reinforce learning.

Day 2 – Programming & Applications

• Review & Q&A:

  • Recap Day 1 material and clarify testing methodology.

  • Address participant questions before applying concepts.

• Programming Training Sessions & Cycles:

  • How to structure sessions based on Day 1 test data.

  • Translating test outputs into actionable programming.

  • Building training cycles for strength, power, anaerobic capacity, and aerobic capacity in climbers (bouldering and rope).

  • Strategies for progression, overload, and autoregulation.

• Biomechanics & Injury Considerations:

  • Finger and upper extremity mechanics in climbing.

  • Understanding stress distribution across grips and movement patterns.

  • Integration of biomechanics into safe, effective programming.

• Rehabilitation Applications:

  • Evidence-informed rehab strategies for common climbing injuries.

  • Programming rehabilitation into training cycles.

  • Modifying load and exercise selection for return-to-sport.
