Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is; to create a special exercise program that will improve the performance of shooting athletes and to examine the effect of this exercise program on shooting performance, muscular strength and endurance of air pistol athletes.


Description:

Air pistol shooting is an Olympic sport that requires precise and accurate shooting at the target sign. Many are the factors that can influence performance in Olympic pistol shooting. The ability to stabilize the gun is crucial for performance in Olympic pistol shooting and is thought to be related to the shooters muscular strength. Krasilshchikov, Zuraidee, and Singh suggest that the implementation of a physical conditioning program together with technique training is essential for the improvement of the ability to stabilize the pistol. Books and journals specialized in Olympic shooting suggest that general physical condition programs, as well as specific strength exercises are necessary in order for performance to be improved. Al Wadi examined the effect of strength exercises on shooting performance and physical parameters with the 8-week station training method with female air pistol shooters in 2015. They found that this exercise program increased arm and waist strength and endurance, the kinetic balance changed positively, and there was a significant correlation between physical variables and shooting performance. However, the study of Belinchon reports that some factors regarding the physical condition of the Spanish Olympic shooters are inferior when compared to athletes of other sports. There is therefore the need for further study on the importance of physical conditioning in Olympic shooting.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Shooting Performance Shooting performance will be calculated with electronic scoring system. (SIUS LS10 Laserscore, Swiss). Electronic Scoring System is an electronic target system for airguns. The target sign at which the shooting is made is 17x17 cm in size; The black dot with a diameter of 11.5 millimeters in the center is 10 points, and the outermost ring is 1 point, a total of 10 rings. Rings with a score of 7-10 are made of black, and rings with a score of less than 7 are made of light cardboard. As the place where the diabol(bullet of the airpistol) hits moves away from the center, the score from the shot decreases. Shooting scoring; It is obtained by adding the points received for each shot by the Electronic Scoring System. Athletes should make 60 shots in 75 minutes. In this way, the total success score was calculated for each athlete. While 0 is the lowest score 600 is the highest score. baseline
