Description
Michał Baszczowski and co-authors run a preliminary study of jaw, neck and grip muscle endurance in sport climbers. Forty-one intermediate and advanced climbers were split into two levels by a standard climbing scale. Grip strength and endurance were measured with a dynamometer, and jaw and neck muscle activity was read with surface sensors under the same repeat pattern.
Advanced climbers showed greater isometric endurance overall. In that group, the temporalis muscle worked harder on the non-dominant side, and activity fell off less on the dominant side than in the lower group. Patterns in the masseter and digastric muscles differed by level and side. The authors link these signs to climbing-specific muscle adaptation.
