Make or Break, guide d'entraînement d'escalade

Don't let climbing injuries determine your success. As Wolfgang Gullich wisely noted, 'getting strong is easy, getting strong without getting injured is hard.' Nearly all climbers will encounter injuries at some point, and how you handle them will determine how far you progress with climbing.

This book brings together the latest insights from peer-reviewed sports medicine research and the nuanced concepts of adjusting your climbing habits and routines to prevent and recover from injuries successfully. It's a go-to handbook on self-care for lifelong climbing athletes, spanning the fields of climbing coaching, physiotherapy, sports medicine, and behavioral science. Unlike typical sports medicine textbooks, it dives deep into climbing-specific techniques and habits.

You'll discover how your current climbing habits may contribute to future injuries and what steps you can take to change them. If you're already injured, it can guide you in avoiding actions that might prolong your recovery. The book highlights that prevention and effective recovery require a diverse range of sources, some of which you may not have explored yet. Throughout, it provides well-referenced, practical advice for diagnosing, rehabilitating, and preventing climbing injuries, based on up-to-date peer-reviewed sports medicine research.
