Abstract
[b]Aim of the research.[/b] To establish the importance of strength and endurance in the group of professional climbers.[b]Material and methods.[/b] The study included 30 high-performance sport climbers. From this group seven best climbers were selected. Their results were used to determine the strength and resistance profile of a climber. The strength of the fingers was tested with a dynamometer and a specific test was used – the overhang on 2,5 cm strip with the maximum load. Arm strength was measured by the elevating on bar with the maximum weight. Muscle resistance to fatigue in the isometric contraction was also examined – the sample consisted of overhanging as long as it was possible on the 2.5 cm and 4 cm strips and on the bar with the upright arms. In addition, the resistance of arm was tested with “pull ups” test and so-called Edlinger’s alphabet.[b]Results.[/b] As it was found out, distinctive features of high-performance climbers were: the size of special force of fingers, muscle resistance to fatigue in the isometric contraction of upper limbs as well as the resistance of arms. The interesting thing observed in the study was that the model climbers were characterized by a lower level of force of dynamometric squeeze. Considerable variation of results was observed within motor effect measuring the force of arms.[b]Conclusions.[/b] On the highest level of training within special efficiency the attention should be paid on the shaping of special force of the fingers and the special endurance of fingers and arm strength endurance. Proportional development of these factors should be considered as reasonable and necessary. Classical dynamometric tests and tests for the special climbing purposes are characterized by certain motor separateness.
