Comparison of climbing-specific strength and endurance between lead and boulder climbers
Stien, Nicolay; Sæterbakken, Atle Hole; Hermans, Espen; Vereide, Vegard Albert; Olsen, Elias; Andersen, Vidar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Albeit differences in climbing-specific strength of the forearms have been demonstrated between lead and boulder climbers, little is known about the potential differences in force and power output of the upper body ... -
Comparison of finger flexor resistance training, with and without blood flow restriction, on perceptional and physiological responses in advanced climbers
Andersen, Vidar; Hermans, Espen; Vereide, Vegard Albert; Stien, Nicolay; Paulsen, Gøran; Baláš, Jiří; Michailov, Michail Lubomirov; Pedersen, Helene; Sæterbakken, Atle Hole (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study compared perceptional and physiological responses of finger flexor exercise performed with free flow and blood flow restriction (BFR). Thirteen male advanced climbers completed three sessions of finger flexor ... -
Differences in Upper-Body Peak Force and Rate of Force Development in Male Intermediate, Advanced, and Elite Sport Climbers
Vereide, Vegard Albert; Andersen, Vidar; Hermans, Espen; Kalland, Jarle; Sæterbakken, Atle Hole; Stien, Nicolay (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in climbing-specific strength and rate of force development (RFD) between intermediate, advanced, and elite male sport climbers. Seventy-eight male climbers were ... -
The Effects of 10 Weeks Hangboard Training on Climbing Specific Maximal Strength, Explosive Strength, and Finger Endurance
Hermans, Espen; Sæterbakken, Atle Hole; Vereide, Vegard Albert; Nord, Ivar S. O.; Stien, Nicolay; Andersen, Vidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 10 weeks of hangboard training (HBT) on climbing-specific maximal strength, explosive strength, and muscular endurance. In total, 35 intermediate- to advanced-level ... -
The effects of acute blood flow restriction on climbing-specific tests
Sæterbakken, Atle Hole; Andersen, Vidar; Vereide, Vegard Albert; Stien, Nicolay; Solstad, Tom Erik Jorung; Shaw, Matthew Peter; Hermans, Espen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The aim of the study was to compare climbing specific performance tests with and without blood flow restriction (BFR). Thirty one climbers (age 26.9 ± 5.5 years, height 177.2 ± 7.5 cm, weight 70.5 ± 8.3 kg, fat percentage ... -
The effects of prioritizing lead or boulder climbing among intermediate climbers
Stien, Nicolay; Frøysaker, Tor Frithjof Hegard; Hermans, Espen; Vereide, Vegard Albert; Andersen, Vidar; Sæterbakken, Atle Hole (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This study compared the effects of prioritizing lead climbing or boulder climbing on climbing-specific strength and endurance, as well as climbing performance. Fourteen active climbers were randomized to a boulder climbing ... -
Effects of ten weeks dynamic or isometric core training on climbing performance among highly trained climbers
Sæterbakken, Atle Hole; Løken, Einar; Scott, Suzanne; Hermans, Espen; Vereide, Vegard; Andersen, Vidar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This is the first study to compare the effects of isometric vs. dynamic core training and characterize core-training adaptations using climbing-specific performance and core strength tests in elite climbers. The aim of the ... -
Effects of two vs. four weekly campus board training sessions on bouldering performance and climbing-specific tests in advanced and elite climbers
Stien, Nicolay; Pedersen, Helene; Vereide, Vegard Albert; Sæterbakken, Atle Hole; Hermans, Espen; Kalland, Jarle; Schoenfeld, Bratt; Andersen, Vidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This study examined the effects of two or four weekly campus board training sessions among highly accomplished lead climbers. Sixteen advanced-to-elite climbers were randomly allocated to two (TG2), or four weekly campus ... -
Upper body rate of force development and maximal strength discriminates performance levels in sport climbing
Stien, Nicolay; Vereide, Vegard Albert; Sæterbakken, Atle Hole; Hermans, Espen; Shaw, Matthew Peter; Andersen, Vidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The aim of this study was to assess and compare the maximal force and rate of force development (RFD) between intermediate, advanced and elite climbers using several different methods for calculating RFD. Fifty-seven male ... -
