REWIND | Can We Accurately Measure the Movement Skills of Sport Climbers?
Today we rewind to an episode of Breaking Beta where Kris and Paul dig into a paper that presents and then tests a method for measuring movement skills in climbing:
Climbing performance analysis: A novel tool for the assessment of rock climber's movement performanceAuthored by Nicola Taylor, Dave Giles, Michaela Panáčková, James Mitchell, Joel B. Chidley, and Nick Draper; published in the International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance in January, 2020.
They’ll attempt to determine whether or not movement skills in climbing can even be measured reliably, and if the proposed system translates to anything useful for everyday climbers and coaches trying to assess movement.
This episode originally aired on July 27, 2022.

EVERY BODY CLIMBS | Ben Mayforth on Discipline, Paraclimbing World Championships, and Letting Go
Ben Mayforth is a decorated climber well known for dialing in his training regimen. He's a Paraclimbing World Cup multi-medalist. Since 2019, he hasn't missed a silver medal at the Paraclimbing World Championships.

EXPERT | Udo Neumann on Movement, Learning, and How to Coach Climbing
Udo Neumann is a climber, performance coach, and motor-learning explorer. He’s the author of several books, including the cult classic Performance Rock Climbing. He was the German National Team coach from 2009 to 2017, working with several European and World Champion athletes during that time, including Jan Hojer and Jule Wurm. Today he advises federations and works with athletes and coaches all over the world.

But it’s possible you’re looking in the wrong direction entirely...

Kundenrezensionen
How could I have missed this podcast for so long?!
I only recently came across this podcast and I have to confess that I listened to almost all the episodes in the last two months. Who knows how I could have possibly stuck to my hangboard routine during this no-climbing-covid-19-period without this podcast to keep up my motivation! Even though I've been climbing and training for over a decade, I learned a lot of new things about training and nutrition through these incredibly well conducted interviews! Thanks a lot. Happy to have discovered this valuable resource!
Great Podcast
Always nice to listen to your podcast. Great guests and conversations. 👍

I found this podcast a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. Just started to listen from the first episode and making my way through the great content. I hope I will be ever able to catch up with the new episodes as well.
