About

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.

Full 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.
