Climbing on the vertical pole is used to test physical condition and coordination skills. The aim is to test dexterity and technique on the climbing pole by measuring time.
Execution rules
Facility:
Vertical climbing pole with a mark 5 metres above the ground. A small soft mat is placed on both sides of the pole.
Execution:
The participants are free to climb with or without shoes. The participant may not touch the pole before the start. From the start command of the test leader, the participant climbs up the vertical pole (climbing on two poles is prohibited) to the 5 m mark. Touching the marker is sufficient for the time to be stopped.
Tip: It is recommended to jump off as high as possible with both legs at the start. The most common techniques for climbing the pole are either to press the instep of the back leg and the sole of the front leg or both soles of the feet against the pole.
Attempts:
Three, the best attempt is scored.
Measurement:
The time from the start command until the participant touches the 5 m mark is measured to the nearest 1/10 of a second (round the result mathematically).
Control:
The test leader ensures that the participant does not touch the climbing pole before the start command. From the start command, the test leader lets the time run until the participant touches the 5 m mark.
The result is recorded directly electronically or transferred later from an evaluation sheet to an electronic device.
Evaluation:
Evaluation sheets and electronic evaluation programmes are available for all sports tests:
