Rock Climbing question

[beder]

Hey guys, and girls. Just joined the forum and it seems as if some of you seem to be pretty clued in to whats going on in regards to PE. Found that the exam was a lot tougher than in previous years, however, it is a good thing for some as it will further seperate the good and the average individuals. In regards to yesterdays paper, was just curious to see what components of fitness people selected for the climber hanging from the rockface as there is a scope of different options that could have been chosen. I selected muscular strength as he needed to support his body weight and hang from the rocks, and then was debating between LME and MP and chose the latter, which i am unsure about as MP incorporates both strength and speed. Would love to hear what people have to say.

i did strength too as well as LME

[flash36]

I said LME due to holding his body weight for long periods of time "in the face of significant fatigue", and flexibility, to be hanging upside down etc like in the picture.

Hey mate. What you have said is completely fine. It's all about justifying your response. I said LME (as he has to hold himself up in the face of fatigue) and Muscular Power (to pull himself up the cliff). You could have easily said strength, flexibility, or even balance. It's all about explaining.

Bud, i completely agree with you, i justified it by referring to when the climber has to quickly shift their arms and legs into climb holds in the rock in order to advance as that incorporates both speed and strength, however, in last years examiners report for the surfer, there wasn't such a diverse range of accepted components, rather three or four so it's debatable.. all depends on the person looking at your paper pretty much.

[adslika]

yeah i said strength and flexibility..pretty open question

LME is wrong. Check last year's examination report RE: Gilmore and you'll learn that for rock climbing LME does not relate to the exact maneuverer.

That is exactly why i chose MP instead of LME, but surely LME is acceptable in that scenario, it is definitely required to hang onto the cliff for extnded periods of time.

Trust me mate LME is right.

 as the rock claimer holds up his body weight, thus isometric contractions are used possibly occluding blood flow, therefore the LA system must provide energy. Due to the presents of lactate the climber must have a good local muscular endurance in the forearm to sustain the position.

LME would be more appropriate than balance anyways but both right. If you think LME is not appropriate you have no clue about rock climbing

You would have thought LME was needed to surf for extended periods of time but it wasn't allowed.

I said
- muscular strength
- flexibility

I would think LME would be correct also but like people have been saying it wasn't accepted last year so who knows.

 

[coolrunnings]

Ye, its a bit tight but the use of isometric contraction are not used for long periods as in rock climbing, I have participated in both sport and defiantly need more LME in rock climbing. i doubt very much it wont be accepted

[brayden]

i also included coordination, because that was required to manouvre his body parts onto certain areas of the cliff while maintaining position

[jpcauchi]

the question was real specific and was said something like what fitness components are required to achieve this "manoevre"
So although i agree the LME is required for rock climbing as a whole, for that particular movement, not so sure.
But strength is pretty much a given.

In essence, VCAA are fried

[brayden]

but to get into that position he would require LME to get there.
he didnt just get placed there.
