Pull-Up Performance Is Affected Differently by the Muscle Contraction Regimens Practiced during Training among Climbers

Laurent Vigouroux and
Marine Devise

Bioengineering2024, 11(1), 85;https://doi.org/10.3390/bioengineering11010085

17 January 2024

Sport climbing performance is highly related to upper limb strength and endurance. Although finger-specific methods are widely analyzed in the literature, no study has yet quantified the effects of arm-specific training. This study aims to compare th...
