Last weeks view! Enjoying @kletterzentruminnsbruck with the beautyful landscape around #Innsbruck.
The density of #routes above 8a is high. So a mandatory place to visit for #competition #climber.
Still you will find plenty of routes from beginners to intermediate climbing grades as well.
Especially the replicas of outdoorboulders were cool to try!
We had fun and will be back here (secret info: the cakes in the bistro are always worth the trainingbreak) 😉
Mit der steigenden Popularität des Klettersports steigt auch die Zahl der Verletzungen.
Im Netz findet man viele Anleitungen, wie man seine Kletterleistung steigern kann. Es werden Trainingspläne mit Leistungszielen verkauft und man findet Anleitungen zu allen möglichen Übungen.
Daran ist auch nichts falsch. Man findet auch qualitativ sehr gute Anleitungen….
….aber manchmal vielleicht ein bisschen wenig Ordnung… denn insgesamt ist es meiner Meinung nach sehr individuell, welche Maßnahmen einen Kletterer am besten voranbringen und allem voran ist die wichtigste Bedingung für Leistungssteigerung, dass man sich nicht verletzt! Nicht nur beim Stürzen, sondern auch in Bezug auf Intensitäten und Trainingsvolumen.
Aber was kann ich tun, damit ich mich nicht verletze? Ich denke: einiges!!! Dem gehen wir im Dezember in einem Workshop auf den Grund! Darum stecke ich bereits mitten in den Vorbereitungen und freue mich darauf! Nähere Infos bald😉
As climbing evolves i see more #athletes who perform at a high level in #bouldering #lead and #speed.
As i work with athletes of regional and national youth teams i can see a rising level of performance. While i really enjoy the skillsset of these young guns it was a difficult year considering the amount of #injuries i have seen.
While there already are discussions about for example ‚bad fall risks‘ in bouldering on the worldcup stage – i also see a rising number of injuries linked to loadmanagement/volume/intensities in the youth.
Young athletes are more vulnerable to those injuries for example while growth spurts. Their body changes a lot during puberty. And i think we need to protect the next generation.
We all are responsible to help the next generation find their way: parents, trainers, physios, doctors, role models in the sport.
Lets invest in prevention to increase the amount of healthy, painfree climbers!
The only constant in life is change!
A lot of people i see are facing a lot of challenges at the same time! They deal with an injury, maybe have a young family and changements in their job or whatever it is…
While this might bring feelings of frustration – i believe – it’s often part of the game…
If you just wait until there is less…. there could also be new challenges coming up in the future…
But mostly you can still do something today… it doesn’t need to perfect! Just a tiny thing towards your personal goal… and if you are able to do it on a regular bases, i‘ m sure, it will have an impact! On your goal and on your happiness!
Try it! Be generous with yourself! Celebrate your effort! Not your success!
There is #evidence and #commonsense that fingerstrenght is important for #climbingperformanceAs #fingers are highly loaded in #climbing there are also a lot of injuries and overloadinjuries…But what if you come from the other side: How can you prepare your fingers for high loads?You would load them on a regular basis for adaptations in all tissues to be prepared for your climb…..how can you do this in a controlled way/rehab protocol?… you get it: #Hangboard#hangboarding is also possible as ’no hangs‘ with your feet on the ground…Of course there are several things to consider if you want to start hangboarding and it might be difficult to find the right protocol, the right finger/shoulderposition etc.But it could be worth the process!
