Purpose. Body-worn accelerometry has been shown to be reliable and used to measure the external load of mixed martial arts (MMA) via the Playerload metric. These measurements were only reported on a round-by-round basis, offering little indication...

Reliability and validity of a method for the assessment of sport rock climbers' isometric finger strength (2020)
Journal Article
Torr, O., Randall, T., Knowles, R., Giles, D., & Atkins, S. (2020). Reliability and validity of a method for the assessment of sport rock climbers' isometric finger strength. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000003548

Isometric strength of the finger flexors is considered to be one of the main physical determinants of sport rock climbing performance. We set out to determine the test-retest reliability and criterion validity of a low resource maximal isometric fing...
