Escalada deportiva y deportes de montaña

The purpose of this review is to explore existing research on the physiological aspects of difficult rock climbing.

Rock climbing is a complex multifaceted sport and as such it is difficult to examine the physiological determinants of performance while maintaining ecological validity.

The purpose of this study was to compare maximal muscle strength and rapid force capacity of finger flexors between boulder and lead climbers of national-international level.

The goal of this study was to assess the physical and anthropometric differences between three levels of climbers and predict climbing ability by using a multiple regression model.
