Summary During a sport climbing trai ning session, the forces at one handhold were measured witl1 force transducers. The mechanical parameters calculated subsequently were: resultant force including position and angle tilereof, impulse, contact time, relative friction, and smoothness factor. The results confirmed, that the more experienced a climber is, the higher is tile mean relative friction, the shoner tile contact time, and the higher the smoothness factor. The training effect showed a decrease of contact time, impulse, and maximal and mean force, and an increase of mean relative friction
