Climbing-based protocols are on-the-wall training methods used to develop endurance, movement efficiency, and climbing-specific performance.
Because load is not externally measured, intensity is controlled indirectly through route choice, pacing, and movement control, making these protocols highly specific to real climbing.
These protocols target aerobic capacity, movement efficiency, coordination, and sport-specific strength across different intensities.
