All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This study compared differences in kinematically based performance success characteristics of elite sport rock climbers during competition both within and across the variable of gender. The purpose of this study was to identify kinematically based performance success and gender differences in elite sport rock climbers for the development of further studies and gender-specific training procedures. The dependent variables included the kinematics of the dynamic grasping hand (DGH) and the center of mass (CM) and the timing of these variables.
The participants included both the men and women competitors registered for the 1997 American Sport Climbing Federation's Fall National competition held …
