Methodology of Training and Competition (Climbing)

On completion of the course, students will be able to:

• apply basic knowledge in the subject areas of training and competition theory to optimise the training and competition process of climbing
• reflect on the basic principles of performance development and physical training in climbing
• solve specific tasks concerning the optimisation of the process of training and competition for different groups of active climbers.

 

The course covers theoretical and practical methods for planning, implementing and evaluating training and competition processes in climbing. There is particular emphasis on the application of sports physiology and biomechanical research on the optimisation of the training and competition process. Special focus is placed on analysing climbing from a technical and tactical point of view with the aim of clarifying the work requirements of climbing.
