Climbro

Climbro helps you boost your climbing performance.

Climbro is a highly efficient training system for improving climbing performance based on 15 years of science research. The mobile app provides real-time feedback on the applied force and hold duration, finger strength and endurance assessment and optimized and easy to follow personal training plans.

PERFORMANCE TEST BATTERY


The battery is comprised of 4 tests:

• Max Strength - checks your maximal finger strength
• Finger RFD - checks your finger rate of force development
• Continuous - checks your forarms anaerobic capacity
• Intermittent - checks your forarms aerobic capacity

The tests provide quantitative measures of finger strength and endurance as well as local muscle aerobic and anaerobic capacity. These measures are transformed into scores and presented as climbing grades for climbers’ convenience. The app presents the test results in a Radar chart so you can easily find out what are your weak and strong points. You can also compare the results of your last two completed test batteries to check your progress. The app provides complete information on how the tests have to be performed and guides you during test execution.

PERSONAL WORKOUT PLANS

Once you have completed a performance test battery, you can get automatically a personal training plan that addresses your weaknesses. The training plan consists of 16-24 sessions that are meant to be completed in 2-3 months. The Climbro app provides a handy calendar with the complete schedule of your training plan. It guides you during each exercise execution providing real-time feedback on the muscle contraction intensity, duration and number of repetitions and rest times. The app also suggests the time to rest between the exercises in a session and between the sessions in a training plan. The Climbro app evaluates how well you have performed each exercise and how well you are following the schedule of the training plan giving you insights of how effective is your training.

SINGLE TESTS

All performance tests from the Performance Test Battery can also be performed individually—perfect when you want to assess a specific physical quality on its own.
In addition, Climbro includes:

Finger Hang Test – evaluates forearm strength and endurance
All-Out Test – measures Critical Force (CF) and anaerobic capacity (W′)

SINGLE EXERCISES

The Climbro app provides 6 predefined exercises with various parameters to improve different physical qualities:
• Strength - develops finger strength
• Hypertrophy - stimulates muscle growth and improves strength-endurance
• High Intensity Endurance - improves high intensity endurance and oxygen extraction
• Medium Intensity Endurance - maximizes oxygen use and improves endurance
• Low Intensity Endurance - stimulates oxygen use and improves capillarisation
• Recovery - stimulates blood flow and metabolites removal

These are meant for more experienced climbers who would like to follow their own training plan and know which physical quality would be best for them to improve.

FREE MEASUREMENT

Free Measurement gives you full control over all training parameters, including intensity, set count, repetition count, and work/rest timing.
Measurement results, including raw force data, are saved in app logs for advanced analysis and research purposes.

PERFORMANCE ANALYTICS

The "Performance Analytics" screen provides graphical information about your performance over time. It shows the aggregated weekly best results for the selected tests, period and source of execution.

TRAINING ANALYTICS
The “Training Analytics” screen provides various summary information about the exercises performed for a given period presented in several handy charts.

LOGS
The Climbro app stores all test and exercise results in the Cloud so you don’t need to worry when you change your mobile device.
