                                With rock climbing's inclusion in the Olympics, data shows the sport can demand a high energy expenditure of 10–11 kcal per minute during active climbing. Proper nutritional intake for a rock climber is fundamental for sustained endurance, improved strength, and efficient recovery, making a strategic diet far more effective than just consuming standard daily calories.
