Acute Effect of Different Warm-up Methods on Isometric Muscle Endurance of the Finger Flexors and Climbing Performance in Sport Climbers

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate whether foam roller, preexhaustion, and static stretching had any effect on isometric muscular endurance the finger flexors climbing performance in sport climbers. METHODS Nine climbers who were able perform at a difficulty 5.11d, included study. Warm-up exercise consisted myofascial release, pre-exhaustion exercises, stretching. Grip back strengths measured for strength, as time spent hanging each hold according angle elbow joint. Repeated measures ANOVA performed confirm difference treatment, significant between groups confirmed by contrast test. RESULTS Myofascial pre-exhaustion, before did not affect muscle strength. However, significantly decreased flexor 90° open hold, 180° crimp slope grips. There no type warm-up exercise. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that various exercises directly endurance, Thus, we suggest future research complex considering postures should be conducted.
