TRAINING YOUNG PEOPLE IN SPORT CLIMBING
Physical preparation and work planning

This manual aims to deal with youth climbing training (obviously also extendable to any age) in modern way, not considering "historical" instruments such as the pan güllich and the beam as essential and delving into methodologies like the DUP and recently discussed topics in every sporting field such as the individualization of effort, the RPE scale as a working tool, the theme of Central Fatigue and the use of VBT (Velocity Based Training) as a very modern instrument for measuring the athlete's state of form and working condition.

They are confronted protocols also very recent, the use of accessories like i cubes, the application of exercises derived from studies of recent years in fitness, in Power Lifting and in theathletics.

In the nineties he coached five-a-side football, leading two very young players to become Italian champions with the Representative Lombarda. For this manual he studied the basics of physical preparation in university texts for two years and subsequently studied in depth with dozens of scientific articles from the last few years on topics not yet part of university programmes. The manual bases much of its structure and many of its contents on the consultancy cited in the acknowledgments. He currently deals with high-level video productions with Yuri Palma's Media Production company and, thanks to his knowledge of professional editing, uses video analysis to study exercises, performances, errors and corrections of his athletes.
