Critical Force in Climbing: Concepts, Measurement, and Practical Applications
Critical Force (CF) represents one of the most promising frameworks for quantifying fatigue resistance and endurance capacity in climbing. Extending the concept of critical power from endurance sports to climbing-specific isometric tasks, CF defines the

Does Protein Intake Timing Matter in Climbing Training?
Protein Timing in Climbing: Does It Matter? Current evidence indicates that total daily protein intake (1.2–2.0 g/kg/day) is the primary determinant of muscle hypertrophy, strength, and recovery in climbers. While nutrient timing around exercise shows
The effects of two maximum grip strength training methods using the same effort duration and different edge depth on grip endurance in elite climbers
Fingerboard training has been shown to improve finger strength and endurance. Load is the most important training metric to increase maximum strength. Load can be manipulated on the fingerboard either by reducing the edge depth,
Gaining more from doing less? The effects of a one-week deload period during supervised resistance training on muscular adaptations
Deloading is a commonly applied strategy, although there’s little empirical evidence analyzing its effects in subsequent training cycles. This study therefore aims to analyze whether including a one-week deload period influences muscle growth, strength, endurance,
