Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose: The physical, physiological, and functional characteristics of archers affect target shooting performance. In our study, we aimed to examine the effect of pulmonary functions and respiratory muscle strength on sports performance in archers.

Methods: Our study included 46 (27 female, 19 male) professional archers registered in archery sports clubs. Sociodemographic and physical characteristics were recorded. Pulmonary function test (PFT), respiratory muscle strength, shooting performance test, Moberg-pickup collection test, Nelson hand reaction test, and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) were applied to all participants.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	FEV1 (liter)	This is the amount of air with pulmonary function test that the patient can force out of their lungs in one second.	at the enrollment
Primary	FEV1 (%-percentage)	This is the percentage of air with pulmonary function test that the patient can force out of their lungs in one second.	at the enrollment
Primary	FVC (liter)	This is the greatest total amount of air patient can forcefully breathe out after breathing in as deeply as possible.	at the enrollment
Primary	FVC (%-percentage)	This is the percentage of air patient can forcefully breathe out after breathing in as deeply as possible.	7 months
Primary	FEV1/FVC (percentage)	The FEV1/FVC ratio is a number that represents the percentage of patient lung capacity patient is able to exhale in one second.	at the enrollment
Primary	Inspiratory muscle test	Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) is going to measured using a mouth pressure meter (MicroRPM; MicroMedical, UK) according to the guideline of ATS and European Respiratory Society (ERS).	at the enrollment
Primary	Expiratory muscle test	Maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) is going to measured using a mouth pressure meter (MicroRPM; MicroMedical, UK) according to the guideline of ATS and European Respiratory Society (ERS).	at the enrollment
Primary	Shooting performance	The high shooting score indicates high arrow shooting performance.	at the enrollment
Primary	Nelson Hand Reaction Test	The average value when the participants catch the ruler for three attempts	at the enrollment
Primary	Moberg-pickup collection test	Assess manual dexterity and function by measuring the time it takes to pick up twelve different small objects (screws, paper clips, rings, safety pins, small nuts, coins, and wrenches)	at the enrollment
Primary	The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)	Assess fatigue severity with 9-item self reporting scale	at the enrollment
