    Bouldering performance requires optimized anaerobic energy systems and sport-specific strength. Athletes need adequate nutrition, particularly carbohydrates and protein, with creatine and beta-alanine supplementation potentially beneficial.

    Area of Science:

    • Sport Science
    • Exercise Physiology
    • Nutritional Science

    Background:

    • Bouldering is an elite climbing discipline featured in the Olympics.
    • Physiological and nutritional needs for bouldering performance are not well-defined.
    • Training focuses on anaerobic capacity, sport-specific strength, and grip endurance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the physiological qualities and nutritional requirements for optimizing bouldering performance.
    • To identify gaps in the current literature regarding bouldering nutrition.
    • To provide evidence-based recommendations for bouldering athletes and coaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of scientific studies on bouldering, climbing physiology, and sports nutrition.
    • Analysis of training goals, body composition, and common nutritional practices in bouldering.

  • Synthesis of current research on macronutrient needs, supplementation, and performance optimization.

    • Main Results:

    • Bouldering athletes require lean physiques (6-12% body fat) for optimal power-to-weight ratio.
    • Inadequate nutritional practices, including carbohydrate restriction, are common and detrimental.
    • Recommendations include adequate carbohydrate intake, structured protein intake (0.25-0.3 g/kg every 3-4 hours), and potential benefits from creatine and beta-alanine supplementation.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimizing anaerobic capacity and strength is key for bouldering.
    • Athletes must prioritize adequate carbohydrate availability and strategic protein intake for recovery.
    • Seeking expert nutritional advice is crucial, especially for weight management, and further research is needed.
