Abstract | INTRODUCTION Speed climbing, introduced as an Olympic sport in Tokyo 2020, uses a race format, where athletes ascend a standardised 15-meter wall as quickly as possible. The sport's recent growth underscores the need for a thorough understanding of the factors that influence success. Current knowledge characterises speed climbing as a rapid acceleration during the start phase, maintenance of high average velocities METHODS Two male national squad speed climbers participated in this case study. One Blue Trident IMU (Vicon, Motion Systems Ltd. Oxford, United Kingdom) was placed on the upper back of each climber. The athletes after a starting beep, climbed as quickly as possible on an internationally standard wall of 15.5 m with 31 holds (20 hand holds and 11 feet holds) and a RESULTS & DISCUSSION CONCLUSION |
