Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) training can close the gap between time-efficient conditioning training and achieving optimal prerequisites for peak climbing-specific performances. Therefore, we examined potential neuromuscular adaptations resulting from the NMFES intervention by analyzing the efficacy of twice-weekly NMES-supported fingerboard (hang board) training compared with thrice-weekly conventional fingerboard training over 7 training weeks in enhancing climbing-specific endurance among intermediate to advanced climbers. Participants were randomly divided into the NMES and control groups. Eighteen participants completed the study (14 male, 4 female; mean age: 25.7 \u00b1 5.3 years; mean climbing experience: 6.4 \u00b1 3.4 years). Endurance was assessed by measuring the maximal time athletes could support their body weight (hanging to exhaustion) on a 20 mm-deep ledge at three intervals: pre-, in-between- (after 4 weeks of training), and post-training (after 7 weeks of training). The findings revealed that despite the lower training volume in the NMES group, no significant differences were observed between the NMES and control groups in climbing-specific endurance. Both groups exhibited notable improvements in endurance, particularly after the in-between test. Consequently, a twice-weekly NMES-supported fingerboard training regimen demonstrated non-inferiority to a thrice-weekly conventional training routine. Incorporating NMES into fingerboard workouts could offer time-saving benefits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24134100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]],"date-time":"2024-06-24T10:41:12Z","timestamp":1719225672000},"page":"4100","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Assessing the Impact of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation-Based Fingerboard Training versus Conventional Fingerboard Training on Finger Flexor Endurance in Intermediate to Advanced Sports Climbers: A Randomized Controlled Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0378-8481","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlo","family":"Dindorf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Science, University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU), 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6822-0697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonas","family":"Dully","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Science, University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU), 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2241-9174","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joshua","family":"Berger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Training Science, German University for Prevention and Health Management, 66123 Saarbr\u00fccken, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0115-7064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stephan","family":"Becker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Science, University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU), 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany"}]},{"given":"Emanuel","family":"Wolf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Science, University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU), 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-0881-6791","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Steven","family":"Simon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Science, University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU), 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Bartaguiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Science, University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU), 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3515-0669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wolfgang","family":"Kemmler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medical Physics and Microtissue Engineering, Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1982-6374","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Fr\u00f6hlich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Science, University of Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU), 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"75","DOI":"10.2478\/hukin-2014-0112","article-title":"The Effect of climbing ability and slope inclination on vertical foot loading using a novel force sensor instrumentation system","volume":"44","author":"Martin","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
