Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of an automated recording and analysis system for the capturing and evaluation of performances of speed climbing athletes. In collaboration with the National Youth Sports Institute (NYSI) in Singapore, an advanced camera system was installed on a newly constructed speed climbing wall, aiming to enhance training protocols by providing detailed performance insights. The paper is mainly split into two parts: the first one describes the hardware setup, including camera selection, configuration, integration with the existing infrastructure and data collection methods. The second part presents the analysis of performance data of one athlete trained at the NYSI, highlighting key findings and potential training improve-ments. Preliminary results indicate significant benefits in technique refinement and performance optimization, demonstrating the system’s value in a competitive training environment. Through section wise analysis of several runs of the same athlete, a stagnation in the start section of the standardised wall has been detected. However, a significant improvement was determined in the other sections, which led to a noticeable overall increase in performance in less than 2 years of regular training.
