Full textAbstract:
Research into the relationship between body sway, aim-point fluctuation, and performance in pistol shooting has been inconclusive. The present study reex-amined this relationship on an interindividual basis, as done in previous studies, and via intraindividual analysis, not previously examined. Five elite pistol shooters performed 20 shots similar to competition conditions. For each shot, body-sway parameters and aim-point fluctuation parameters were quantified for the time period 1 s to shot. An AMTI LG6-4 force plate was used to measure body-sway parameters, while a SCATT shooting analysis system was used to measure aim-point fluctuation and shooting performance. Multiple regression analysis indicated that body sway was related to performance for one shooter, aim-point fluctuation was related to performance for three shooters, and body sway was related to aim-point fluctuation for four shooters. These relationships were specific to the individual, with the strength of association and parameters of importance being different for different shooters. However, interindividual analysis indicated that only aim-point fluctuation was related to performance. It was concluded that body sway, aim-point fluctuation, and performance are important in elite level pistol shooting, and performance errors at the elite level are individual-specific. Individual analysis should be a priority when examining elite level sports performance.

Objective: Considering the positions that the shooter chooses during shooting in different disciplines, it seems that the activity of deltoid and supraspinatus muscles which are common muscles during movement, varies in different disciplines. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate and compare the electrical activity of deltoid and supraspinatus muscles between three shooting disciplines. Methods: 24 shooters (8 archers, 8 air pistol shooters, and 8 air rifle shooters) participated in the study. They performed shoulder abduction and scaption at 60 and 90 degrees. The electrical activity of deltoid and supraspinatus muscles was then recorded using surface electromyography. The data were analyzed by using ANOVA and Tukey’s test at the significance level of P<0.05. Results: The activity of anterior deltoid muscle at 60 and 90 degrees of abduction and the activity of middle deltoid and supraspinatus muscles only at 90 degree of abduction was significantly higher in the archery group than in the air pistol group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The higher electrical activity of deltoid and supraspinatus muscles in archery sport may be related to the tensile force of the bow and the greater arm angle at the shoulder joint during this type of shooting compared to air pistol and air rifle shooting.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to test the incidence of ironic performance errors in elite air-pistol shooters. Previous research has revealed that, when shooters are anxious, avoidant instructions can cause ironic performance breakdown, especially in the unintended direction. Fifty-seven experienced air-pistol shooters were given specific instructions not to shoot to a certain part of a target, under low- and high-anxiety conditions, respectively. Results demonstrated that, when instructed not to shoot in a specific direction, anxious shooters did so a significant number of times. Interestingly, there was no difference in non-target non-ironic error, which provides specific support for Wegner’s theory of ironic processes of mental control in air-pistol shooting. Consequently, these findings illustrated that the combination of increased anxiety with avoidant instructions could lead to such unintended performance errors, called ironic error. Thus, understanding the mechanism of the anxiety-performance relationship may be a useful theoretical framework which could provide practical, instruction-based interventions to reduce susceptibility to ironic errors under pressure.

Full textAbstract:
Evidence shows that using a preshot routine (PSR) improves performance in self-paced, closed-skill tasks. A PSR is a set of cognitive and behavioral elements an athlete systematically engages in prior to performance execution. The present study describes the implementation and evaluation of a PSR intervention with elite pistol shooters in the 10-m air-pistol discipline. Individualized PSRs were developed with the shooters in individual psychological sessions, and the PSRs were then practiced in subsequent training sessions. Intervention effectiveness was evaluated by analyzing the shooters’ competition performance. Overall, the shooters improved on average by 2.5 points from before to after the intervention. This improvement was unlikely due to seasonal effect, as the league average (scores of league shooters not included in the intervention sample) remained stable during the study time. These results indicate that using a PSR before a shooting series has benefits for subsequent shooting performance.

Full textAbstract:
Shooting is a high-precision sport that depends on many factors to achieve high performance levels. The main objective of this study was to analyze the differences in anthropometric, physiological, and psychological variables by sport level in women air-pistol shooters. Fifteen female pistol shooters, including seven elite national shooters of Iran and eight non-elite shooters, participated in this study. Analyzed variables were grouped into three sections: anthropometric, physiological, and psychological. Anthropometric variables included: height, weight, body mass index, length of leg, arm span, and proportions between variables. Physiological tests include resting heart rate, static and dynamic balance, flexibility, and upper body strength. Additionally, psychological questionnaires of SMS-6 sport motivation, TSCI trait sport-confidence and SSCI state sport-confidence, ACSI-28 athletic coping skills, and SAS sport anxiety scale were used. The Shapiro–Wilks test and independent t-test were used to analyze the data. Effect size and test reliability were calculated using Cohen’s d and Cronbach’s alpha, respectively. Our results showed that elite shooters have higher values of dynamic balance (Y-test), upper body strength (sit-ups), and intrinsic motivation, and lower resting heart rate than non-elite. However, no differences were found in the anthropometric variables, nor in anxiety or coping skills. We conclude that physiological and psychological workouts should be included in the shooters’ training programs to improve their performance.

Full textAbstract:
Technical elements are related to shooting performance; however, the importance of each factor regarding performance, especially in elite-level pistol shooters, remains controversial. The objective of this study was to determine the technical factors that influence pistol performance. One elite-level shooter was analysed during the season before the Olympic classification European championship through a total of six competitions (n = 360 shots). Aiming point trajectories were measured with the SCATT optoelectronic system. Variables were classified into six categories: performance; aiming time; stability of hold; aiming accuracy; cleanness of triggering and shooting delta. Principal component analysis, multiple regressions, Pearson correlations and ANOVAs were used to analyse the data. The results showed that five components (aiming time, stability of hold, aiming accuracy, cleanness of triggering and shooting delta) determined a total of 79.68% of the shooting variance. Specifically, aiming accuracy and cleanness of triggering explained up to 25% of the shooting score, with cleanness of triggering serving as the determining factor. Correlations were found among the performance and stability of hold, aiming accuracy, cleanness of triggering and shooting delta. Last, significant differences were found among 8-score, 9-score and 10-score shots. We conclude that while aiming accuracy seems to be related to the performance, cleanness of triggering could be the most critical technical element; furthermore, while stability of hold does not seem to be a determining factor of the score, it could be a general prerequisite to achieve high levels of performance in elite-level air pistol shooters.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Pupil dilations of the eye are known to correspond to central cognitive processes. Pupil size variations have been used for many years as a window on the mind, and various pupillary features have been associated with a number of cognitive processes Aim: The aim of this study is to examine levels of cognitive workload that occur during the aiming task of air-pistol shooting athletes according to the change that takes place in the pupils. Methods: Eight right-handed skilled male shooters (4 elite and 4 novice) were recruited in this study. A total of 320 shots - 160 dry (unscored) shots and 160 live (scored) shots - were recorded with a mobile eye-tracking device. The obtained pupil data were subjected to biometric analysis. The athletes’ pupil sizes were determined with the independent samples t-test according to whether the shot made was scored or unscored and whether the athletes were elite or novice. The athletes’ pupil size values at the beginning and end of the shot were obtained using the paired samples t-test. Results: On completion of the shot, the sport shooters’ pupils dilated on average by 2.85 mm at a rate of 32.5% compared to the situation at shot onset. Moreover, novice shooters’ pupils dilated more when firing scored shots than when firing unscored shots. According to the research results, it can be said that sports shooters engage in intensive cognitive processes while aiming and trigger pulling immediately before firing the shot. Novice shooters engage in more intensive cognitive processes when firing scored shots than when firing unscored shots. Conclusion: According to the results of the research, it can be said that in the sport of air pistol shooting, giving priority to dry (unscored) shooting training can contribute positively to the development of novice athletes’ aiming task skills and cognitive load capacity. Keywords: Cognitive workload, cognitive processes, eye tracking, air pistol, shooting

Full textAbstract:
Six elite wheelchair shooters undertook a simulated competition of 2 hr duration
under three different conditions: 1. 24-26 °C and 40% humidity (C), 2. 36 °C and
60% humidity (H), and 3. the H condition whilst using simple head, neck and torso
cooling devices (HC). The trials were undertaken at the same time on consecutive
days in a counter-balanced, randomised order. Two shooters were removed from the
H trial at t=75 and t=105 min, respectively, due to tympanic temperature elevations
above 39 °C, but were able to complete the full 2 hr of competition during the C and
HC conditions. Heart rates were significantly elevated for the group during the H
condition compared to C and HC (106 ± ll, 80 ± 10, 90 ± 7 beats.min-' respectively
at t=90 min, p<0.05) as were perceptions of thermal discomfort (6.4 ± 0.7, 3.5 ± 0.4,
4.8 ± 1.0 respectively at t=90 min, p<0.05). These responses were at least partially
alleviated by the use of the simple, yet practical, cooling devices. Practically, this
may improve performance in shooting competitions as it allows more time to fire a
shot between heart beats, and enables shooters to concentrate more easily on the task
required of them. Responses to heat exposure were more pronounced in athletes
with a higher level of disability (CS versus T4 versus cerebral palsy), and those who
wore heavy leather shooting jackets (rifle versus pistol shooters). Although further
research is recommended, it would appear that the rules governing shooting attire
and prolonging exposure to heat should be reconsidered for events in which
wheelchair athletes compete.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the effects of quantisation of force plate data used to measure body sway and the relationship between this body sway, aim point fluctuation and performance in shooting. Quantisation error in and resolution of selected body sway parameters were calculated from force plate data sampled using 12-bit and 16-bit analog to digital conversion (ADC). It was concluded that 12-bit ADC does not offer adequate precision when assessing the body sway of shooters and that 16-bit ADC is required. The relationship between body sway, aim point fluctuation and performance was examined on both group and individual bases. Body sway was measured in six elite rifle and five elite pistol shooters while performing 20 shots in simulated competition conditions over 5s, 3s and 1s before shot using an AMTI LG6-4 force plate and 16-bit ADC. This was synchronised with a SCATT shooting training analysis system, which measured aim point fluctuation and performance. From 16 time-based body sway parameters quantified, principal components analysis identified four body sway factors, which related to the amplitude and speed of this sway in both the X and Y axis. Using four body sway parameters that represented these factors, correlation and multiple regression analysis indicated that body sway, aim point fluctuation and performance were related for some but not all shooters. Further, this association was specific to the individual shooter in terms of degree and direction of association, the axis of influence of body sway and aim point fluctuation and the time period. This highlighted the importance of individual based analysis in elite shooting. Further research with larger subject numbers, aim point fluctuation more thoroughly examined and including kinematic analysis may assist in better defining the relationship between body sway, aim point fluctuation and performance.

The sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) is a special frequency band of 12-15 Hz mainly in sensorimotor area. The power of SMR is inversely related to the activation of this area. Higher SMR might represent an adaptive regulation of cognitive-motor processing, which is useful for the understanding of the preparatory processes in precision sports. Therefore, this study compared SMR power between the best and the worst shots in 18 expert shooters (aged 18.28 ± 2.32 yr) with 4.67 ± 2.25 years of shooting experience. Shooters were recruited to shoot for 40 trials while EEG was collected. A 2 x 3 ANOVA showed significant interaction between performance and time. Post hoc analysis revealed that the first epoch was significantly higher than the second and the third epochs for the good performance whereas no differences were observed on the 3 epochs between the best and the worst shots. The results suggested that expert shooters reduced the somatosensory input prior shooting, which may imply an automatic process before the best performance. Future study may explore the effects of learning on SMR as well as effects of SMR neurofeedback training on performance.

June, 2015 Tasi, Chia-hui Advisor: Chi, Li-kang Abstract Enhance athletic performance has been a topic of concern by the coaches, athletes and sports-related personnel. Researcher represented the individual-affect-related performance zones (IAPZs), expecting to understand the relationship between emotional states and performance qualities, and determining the probability of different performance levels in a particular emotional state. The purpose of this paper is to exaimine the differences of shooting scores on frontal electroencephalographic (EEG) asymmetry. And use the probabilistic method to establish expert air pistol players affect-related performance zones on heart rate (HR), arousal and pleasure. Methods: recruited four expert air-pistol shooters, shooting 40 shots, and collect EEG., cardiac signal, aroual and pleasure. T-test was used to examine the differences of shooting scores on frontal EEG asymmetry. Multiple logistic regression analysis are performed to create probability curves based on different levels of emotional intensity. Result: there was no significant difference in scores between positive and negative frontal EEG asymmetry. The associations between the IAPZs for HR, aroual and pleasure were unique for each shooters. Conclusion: this study showed that IAPZs can applied for describing affective ststes and pleasure levels with different performance levels. Key words: idividual zone of optimal functioning, individual affect-related performance zones, frontal asymmetry, probabilistic method

Title: Selection criteria for sport shooters Objectives: The aim of the work will be discovering of the fact, if criteria such as vital capacity of the lungs and apnoea can affect the shooting of air pistol and then mark these criteria as suitable for the selection of talented people. Methods: In this work was used analysis of documents and other professional publications with the possibility of selecting sports talents in sport shooting. Two laboratory measurements were demonstrated, to determine the vital capacity of the lungs by using a personal spirometer and measurement of apnea. At the same time, the probands height and weight were measured. Subsequently, an experiment was proven, in place of probands fired 15 shots from an air pistol according to ISSF rules. Results: The results of the work brought the fact that the vital capacity of the lungs together with apnea do not have a significant effect on the shooting itself in the shooting discipline "air riffle 10m" and is therefore not suitable for use in the eventual selection of individuals for sport shooting.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the five-week resistance training course enhances the body composition, strength endurance and special stability of air pistol shooters. In this study, eight air pistol shooters from colleges and universities were volunteered to be subjects and join plan a 13-week experimental project. The study was divided into two periods, and subjects only received shooting special technical training without resistance training in the first period. The second period, subjects had to undergo special technical training and resistance training (60% 1RM, 4 sets, 60% repetition maximum of 60% 1RM), The INBODY 700 was used to measure body composition of the shooters, resistance training machines were used to detect the strength endurance of the shooters, and the shooting simulation trainer (SCATT) was used to evaluate stability ability (the total number of seconds of shaking within 9 score before the firing). Data were analyzed by using repeated measured ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests to compare difference within periods. The results of this study are as follows: 1. After 5 weeks of resistance training, the air pistol shooter significantly increases the percentage of skeletal muscle mass and reduces the body fat ratio. 2. After 5 weeks of resistance training, the air pistol shooter had significant training effects on strength endurance of the biceps muscle group, the lumbar muscle group and the muscles behind the leg. 3. After 5 weeks of resistance training, the air pistol shooter significantly enhance special stability. In conclusion, resistance training might be a great training strategy to improve body composition and develop sport performance for air pistol shooters

Estella said yes. After such news, Aldo could hardly concentrate. He wrote home, “Somehow, this time, I don’t seem to be able to write.” On December 2, he wrote in his work journal, “In at least 6 lines of work today and nothing particularly accomplished in any one.” Aldo celebrated the holidays and his engagement at the Bergeres’ with his father beside him, warmly regaled with guitar music, Spanish and Italian carols, pasta, luminarias, and piñatas. Then came the promenade of New Year’s fiestas and parties honoring New Mexico’s statehood. Work looked pretty dull in comparison. On his return to Tres Piedras, Leopold found his desk buried under requests for grazing permits. Altogether, Carson headquarters had received applications for 220,000 sheep. The new plan allowed only 198,000, and it was Leopold’s job to reject the extra applications and to make the decisions stick. He and his rangers patrolled the forests, their six-shooters at their sides. Even so, they relied mostly on forceful words as a means of persuasion. When he met ranchers or sheepers to talk, Leopold carefully left his pistols in his saddle. By March, the business of permits was well under way. Hall had accomplished the job he came for, and he moved on. Ringland promoted Leopold to acting supervisor of Carson National Forest. Aldo boasted to his fiancée: “Of all the men in our class from Forest School there are only two of us Acting Supervisors, and none are Supervisors yet.” By fall, he was Carson’s full supervisor. Leopold hired more rangers to hold the grazing situation steady. He closely inspected the rangers’ stations, work journals, and reports. When a forester’s idea or accomplishment impressed him, he dashed off “Bully!” in the margin. That summer, Aldo built a house for his bride- to- be, assisted by Estella’s brother and his own brother Frederic, who was working at headquarters for the summer. Aldo’s correspondence to his beloved never faltered.

Accurately aiming and firing a pistol requires a steady hand. While many devices can steady a shooter’s arm or hand by restricting movement or degrees-of-freedom, few devices actively reduce involuntary tremors while allowing larger voluntary aiming movements. This paper details the design and fabrication of an arm exoskeleton that can actively damp arm tremors while allowing voluntary aiming movements. The device allows five degrees-of-freedom and is very lightweight due to its cable-driven architecture and use of carbon fiber composite materials. Tremorous movement is filtered out from voluntary motion, and an adaptive algorithm provides a tremor-cancelling signal to the cable control motors.

Abstract In the fields of competition shooting and handgun engineering, it is highly desirable to be able to properly assess and measure handgun recoil. If recoil could be measured, it would be useful to the competition shooter in his continuous quest to evaluate modifications for his equipment and methods. The engineer would benefit since the results of measured testing would quantify the reaction forces present allowing proper stress analysis and the ability to calibrate FEA models. The objective of this project was to design and develop a device capable of measuring recoil forces on multiple independent axes. The device will respond and measure only on the axis the load is applied to. It was determined that the most cost effective way to meet the design specifications was to utilize strain gage based transducer technology. A custom multiple axes Dynamometer was designed, fabricated and interfaced with the Smith & Wesson CATS (Computer Aided Testing System) data collection system. The system was calibrated and tested with a model 4013TSW pistol and the results were graphed. The results showed peak values of 950 lb. for the horizontal recoil force, 125 ft-lb. for the recoil moment, and 24 ft-lb. for the rifling torque. Taking factors into consideration, these values are close to the expected values. The Dynamometer exhibited ringing at about 310 Hz. due to its natural frequency and required filtering to properly observe the load profile. When low-pass filtered at 100 Hz., the load profile stood out, but the amplitude was attenuated. The net result was that peak values were observed in the standard data, while the load profile and gun signature could be identified in the filtered data. The device was found to be useful for qualitative analysis, but was deemed inadequate for impact and high frequency applications. The Dynamometer could be improved with efforts made to raise the natural frequency and advanced filtering techniques.
