AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON EFFECT OF HEART RATE IN ARCHERY SHOOTING PERFORMANCE OF ANTHROPOMETRIC PROFILE OF SELECTED ARCHERS

Archery necessitates a unique combination of strength and endurance for successful intermittent repeating shooting and performance, both in training and competition. It does not demonstrate extremely high demanding efforts in strength and endurance fitness areas when compared to other strength or endurance events, but it is very fitness demanding for accurate shooting in its own right. The study was done at the indoor archery hall by the Institutional Ethical Committee. Slow motion analysis was performed using Kinovea association's free motion analysis software (version 0.8.15; Paris, France), and time points frames were selected based on the arrow's release. The Kruskal-Wallis test and one-way ANOVA were performed. The goal of this study was to use a single variable to observe this complex relationship of adaptive training response. The coach's assessment of the heart rate deceleration pattern in the field has practical applications in performance enhancement. The pattern of heart rate values during the shooting process provides insight into the athlete's adaptive mechanism established over years of physical and psychological training.
