Theoretical validation of endurance-strength exercises for the combined sport climbing test, junior-senior category/Validación teórica de ejercicios de resistencia-fuerza para la prueba combinada de escalada deportiva, categoría juvenil-senior

Abstract

Strength endurance is the physical capacity to maintain strength at a constant level for the duration of a given sporting gesture, a determining capacity in many sports, where sport climbing is no exception; therefore, the theoretical-practical study that contributes to improve this capacity in sport climbing will allow improving the management of sport training in this sport. The objective of this work is to theoretically validate a proposal of physical exercises for endurance-strength training, in the combined sport climbing test, in an age range between 16-21 years old. The applied research is of theoretical-descriptive type of correlational order and qualitative base, with a study of criteria, of 13 specialists in four items (originality, quality, specialization and objectivity) that evaluate theoretically in two moments a group of specialized physical exercises to enhance endurance-strength. As results, it is presented that all the evaluable categories increased quantitatively and qualitatively as part of the post-test, in originality (pre-test: two points; post-test: four points; p=0.000); in quality (pre-test: three points, post-test: four points; p=0.000); in specialization (pre-test: three points, post-test: four points, p=0.000) and in objectivity (pre-test: four points; post-test, five points; p=0.001).   The proposal of endurance-strength exercises for the combined sport climbing test theoretically complies with the assumptions of originality, quality, specialization and objectivity; it is a satisfactory proposal, according to the theoretical criteria of the specialists consulted.
