Background
It is of great importance for archers to have a stable posture for successful shooting. In studies conducted on this subject, attention is drawn to the necessity of postural stability in archers for a successful shooting performance. Balanced posture, which is an important parameter, includes the preservation of the center of mass on the support base. In this study, it is aimed to examine the correlation between dynamic and static balance and achievement score in archers.
Methods
This study is a cross-sectional and correlational research and is conducted with 18 archery athletes. Flamingo balance test was used to measure static balance and Y-Balance test was used to measure dynamic balance. For statistical analysis, since the distribution was normal, Pearson correlation coefficient was used for observing the correlation between parameters.
Results
It has been observed that archery mean scores and right leg absolute reach distance have a moderate (r = 0.592, p = 0.010) positive correlation and a moderate (r = 0.670, p < 0.05) positive correlation with the left leg. As the dynamic balance success increases, the archery score also increases. Similarly, the dynamic balance success increases with the higher static balance success.
Conclusion
This study represents that a linear relationship was observed between dynamic balance ability and shooting on target and emphasizes the importance of dynamic balance for successful shooting in archers. These findings support that archer will contribute positively to their success score with balance training in addition to their routine training.
