Training Intervention for Forearm Physiology
Using a tool to quantify physiologic stress on the forearms can help tailor training interventions for climbers. By incorporating exercises like lifting from the ground, pulling down on a cable machine, or fingerboarding, athletes experienced increased pump and soreness compared to the hurling method. Implementing targeted forearm training a few times a week alongside regular climbing sessions can be beneficial, even with low volume. This supplemental training is recommended on non-climbing days or as a second session in a day.
