Cooper, Max N. Seiter, Joseph J. Ruzbarsky, Ricky Poulton, Grant J. Dornan, Eric K. Fitzcharles, Charles P. Ho, and Thomas R. Hackett; published in The Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine in February, 2022. & Shoulder girdle strength and finger flexor strength in prediction of performance in female rock climbers Authored by Jan Kodejška and Jiří Baláš; published in Studia sportiva in 2016.
