DEVICE FOR EVALUATING, MONITORING AND CONTROLLING THE FORCE EXERTED ON CLIMBING HOLDS DURING CLIMBING

摘要

The invention relates to a device for evaluating, monitoring and controlling the force exerted on climbing holds during climbing. This device is intended for the sport of climbing, specifically for the indoor climbing disciplines that have recently been added to the Olympic program. The device allows the sensorisation of climbing holds to evaluate the traction forces exerted by the climbers on same, regardless of the manufacturer model, type of climbing hold or grip performed. In this way, exhaustive control can be carried out in order to improve performance. The device consists of a structure of rigid, strong material formed by an outer portion that allows the structure to be secured to climbing walls, and an inner portion formed by an anchor and support plates for installing the climbing hold.
