Objective: Sports ice climbing (SIC) is developing rapidly as an independent sport with Olympic potentials. To date there has been no prior systematic evaluation of injury risks and injury patterns in a SIC-specific setting. Methods: This paper reports injury statistics the statistics collected during the Ice Climbing Festival, which was held du...

The research base for rock climbing has expanded substantially in the past three decades as worldwide interest in the sport has grown. An important trigger for the increasing research attention has been the transition of the sport to a competitive as well as recreational activity and the potential inclusion of sport climbing in the Olympic schedule...

The structure of striated muscle is highly organized from the whole organ down the arrangement of single molecules. Myosin is the molecular motor that drives the muscular force generation. The interaction with actin filaments ('crossbridges') and the internal conformational change ('power stroke') of myosin are responsible for the increase in stiff...

To comprehensively analyse interaction forces in climbing, a fully instrumented climbing route has been requested but only once been realised, probably due to financial burdens. Thus, the objective of this work was to elaborate the potential of a one-dimensional force sensor to analyse interaction forces. Based on experimental data gained with our...

Striated muscle is a mechanical system that develops force and generates power in serving vital activities in the body. Striated muscle is a complex biological system; a single mammalian muscle fibre contains up to hundred or even more myofibrils in parallel connected via an inter-myofibril filament network. In one single myofibril thousands of sar...

It is widely accepted that a biological variability of the protein structures in myofibrils is present. Moreover, it implies an inhomogeneity in the functional unit, the half-sarcomere. It is an important parameter for the force producing characteristics of the half-sarcomere. Thus, one can expect inhomogeneity being unveiled in the individual dyna...
