Aprašymas

The Science of Climbing was the first book to explore in depth the science of climbing and mountaineering, striking a balance between theory and practice and written by a team of leading international sport scientists, clinicians and climbing practitioners, it offered practical examples and illustrative data to demonstrate the strategies that can be adopted to promote safety, best practice, injury prevention, recovery, mental preparation and create a deeper understanding for the sport of climbing and mountaineering.

This fully updated, new second edition continues to cover the full span of technical disciplines including the history and evolution of climbing research, the physiological, biomechanical, skill acquistion and psychological foundations of climbing but now also investigates the technological, artificial intelligence and nutritional aspects of the sport, as well as introducing chapters examining competition and performance analysis as a direct response to climbing being included into the Olympic and Paralympic program.

Showcasing the latest cutting-edge research and demonstrating how science translates into practice, this fully revised edition of The Science of Climbing is essential reading for all advanced students and researchers of sport science, biomechanics and skill acquisition, as well as all active climbers and adventure sport coaches.
