“…The spiral-diagonal character of natural movements is due to the structure of the musculoskeletal system. Most muscles are arranged in a spiral around bones, so, when they contract, they usually make a spiral motion [27,28]. The primary movements of newborns (the reflex of sucking fingers and toes, turning over, crawling, and others) are mainly spiral-diagonal in nature.…”

“…With the verticalization of man, these movements become more linear in appearance, but at their core they remain complex (walking, running, swimming, etc.). The use of 'diagonals' of PNF allows in the most physiological mode to use functional muscle chains and restore the 'programs' of primary movements, which contributes to a more effective restoration of motor functions [28,29].…”

Introduction. The study aimed to determine the influence of exercises in a closed kinematic chain, exercises in the eccentric mode in combination with proprioceptive muscle facilitation on the level of elbow injuries and technical skills of amateur climbers. Methods. The participants were 84 male amateur rock climbers aged 18-19 years; 40 athletes were in the intervention group and 44 were in the control group. in the intervention group, a developed injury prevention program was used. The program included the application of neuromuscular training. Exercises for proprioceptive muscle facilitation were also performed. We determined the elbow injury incidence rate and confidence intervals and the reliability of the influence of the technique mastery level on the number of injuries by the Cochran and Mantel-Haenszel methods.Results. The use of our program reduced the incidence rate ratio in climbers for mild, moderate, and severe elbow injuries; a significant decrease was found for moderate and severe injuries. There was also a significant improvement in the results of biomechanical analysis of the climbing technique in athletes in the intervention group (p < 0.001). A high reliability was determined of the influence of the technique mastery level on the number of injuries (p < 0.001). Conclusions. The use of exercises in a closed kinematic chain, exercises in the eccentric mode in combination with proprioceptive muscle facilitation reduces the incidence rate ratio of elbow injuries and increases technical skills among amateur climbers.
