MUSCLE STRENGTH COORDINATION TRAINING FOR ATHLETES IN MOUNTAINEERING SPORTS

TREINAMENTO DE COORDENAçãO DA FORçA MUSCULAR DOS ATLETAS EM ESPORTES DE MONTANHISMO

ENTRENAMIENTO DE LA COORDINACIóN DE LA FUERZA MUSCULAR DE LOS ATLETAS DE DEPORTES DE MONTAñA

ABSTRACT

Introduction

Rock climbing is a physical activity that requires excellent physical conditioning. In addition to improving physical fitness and motor coordination, rock climbing requires constant improvements in muscle coordination skill training to enhance its modern tactics.

Objective

Explore the muscular coordination skill training of rock climbers.

Methods

A random sample of 8 athletes were assigned to the experiment involving the measurement of athletes’ body composition, serum creatine kinase and blood urea levels, and other biomarkers collected before and after the trial.

Results

There was a significant negative correlation between dynamic balance and motor coordination ability after training in extreme rock climbing sports. On the second day after the rock climbing exercise, the volunteers’ body weight and fat content significantly reduced, and the concentration of creatine kinase (CK) and blood urea (BU) increased significantly.

Conclusion

The exploration of extreme sports’ effect on improving athletes’ muscle coordination ability showed that strength and coordination should be enhanced in rock climbing. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
