Every climber understands the importance of training the fingers for climbing. But most are doing it ineffectively by overloading the fingers in only one way. This 4.5-hour online course dives deep into the science of training the fingers and hand. To do this, we need to use climbing and non-climbing research to address the following topics.

-The physiology of the hand (muscles, nerves, joints, variations).

-Recent research in climbing

-Adaptations to strength training

-Adaptations to power training

-Active vs. passive tension

-Types of fatigue with training

-How biomechanics influence exercise choice

-Understanding specificity and individualization

-Practical applications

This course was delivered remotely, and the recording is available upon purchase. If you're a coach or athlete interested in learning the most up-to-date exercise science methodologies for training, this course is for you.
