Abstract

Wall climbing requires optimal balance skills to maintain body stability, control the center of gravity, and efficiently transition movements in the vertical plane. However, the balance training program at the Palado Organization in Pulu City, Sigi Regency, remains general and not specific to the characteristics of wall climbing movements. This study aims to develop a contextual and applicable balance training model for wall climbing. The method used was Research and Development (R&D) using the Borg and Gall model, which included needs analysis, product design, expert validation, small group trials, large group trials, and product revision. The study subjects were 30 athletes selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using percentage analysis to assess the model's feasibility. The results showed that the validation by wall climbing experts and language experts each achieved a 100% rating, categorizing it as very feasible. The small group trial achieved an 80% rating, while the large group trial increased to 88%, categorizing it as feasible. These findings indicate that the developed balance training model is effective, engaging, and can improve balance abilities and athletes' motivation during wall climbing training. Therefore, this training model can be used as an alternative training variation for coaches and athletes to improve the quality of climbing training.
