It's now only 5 days until
Cornerstone Therapies hits the Bouldering area at Craggy Island in Guildford!
Over the evenings of Tuesday 11th
and 18th of October, I am taking 6 brave helpers to Craggy Island so that we can look into how stretching helps Bouldering
performance. It is going to be great fun over the 2 weeks and I am
hoping to seeing as many of you who can make it down there.
On Tuesday 11th we need to
recruit 25 Boulderers who will commit to climb 2 bouldering routes
that evening and then come back the following week to climb their
chosen route twice more, but in between the last climbs they receive
a stretching treatment with myself of Lesley Don.
We are asking these intrepid climbers
to fill in a very simple questionnaire and my helpers are making sure
all the climbs are recorded fully with video as well as writing down
timings and completion levels.
Ben, the centre manager at Craggy has
been amazingly helpful and very generous with by allowing us to
invade the mats for two week day evenings; a big thank you goes to
him and his team!
So, you may be asking “What is
Jenny up to this time?”.
The answer is simple; I am looking at
how two different styles of stretching help (or not) the performance
of amateur bouldering for my dissertation. The climbing events are
giving me the data I need to analyse over the next 6 months as I can
then write up my conclusions.
The hand in date for the dissertation
is July 15th with my final presentation on October 4th,
so I have less than a year to go before I finish … wow …
I hope a load of you can get down to
Craggy on Tuesday 11th and 18th and help me
with getting some very nerdy, exciting and fun data!
I look forward to seeing you there.
