Practical workshop
Training and testing in climbing - more information here.
Sport climbing and bouldering have developed into well recognized competitive activities now listed in the Tokyo Olympics 2020. Preparation of athletes has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. The aim of the workshop is to introduce current trends in training and testing of sport climbers. Well known researchers and national trainers (prof. Nick Draper, dr. Simon Fryer, dr. Michail Michailov, dr. David Giles, dr. Patrick Matros) will share their knowledge and present training concepts for young and adult athletes. Part of the seminar will be dedicated to present diagnostics tools to assess training characteristics specific to climbing performance.
The conference has received excellent feedback and reviews because
- it is not a mega event but a middle-size gathering where you have the chance to meet, get to know and even find a common project
- it has an informal atmosphere supporting discussions and mutual learning
- it is attended by people from different parts of the field – practitioners, teachers, researchers, policy makers, managers and leaders of organisations
- it is a learning opportunity for young students and volunteers
