THE EFFECT OF STRENGTH TRAINING OF STATION EXERCISE IN STRENGTH & KINETIC BALANCE ENDURANCE AND THEIR RELATION WITH SHOOTING ACCURACY IN AIR PISTOL SHOOTING

Sport games develop noticeably through achieving world records and achievements in most games which encouraged researchers to focus most of their attention on the most accurate scientific and field details in the field of sport training. In its physical and skill preparation, shooting is one of the games that depend on strength as it plays a role in developing the game’s special abilities such as strength endurance and kinetic balance. Problem of the study lies in that: nature of performance in air shooting (10 m), especially air pistol shooting, is characterized by high accuracy which requires both physical effort and muscular endurance to determine muscular direction correctly and accurately to achieve shooting accuracy. The researcher noticed signs of early tiredness on shooters and their failure in accuracy in last shots which made the researcher conduct a study in this field and try to find suitable solutions that serve the skilled aspect in this game through preparing suitable training methods for this purpose. The study aims to: 1. Prepare a set of strength exercises by the station training method for air pistol shooters. 2. Identify the effect of strength training with the station method in strength endurance of muscles of arms, shoulders and back muscles on kinetic balance of air pistol shooters. 3. Identify the relation between shooting accuracy and strength endurance (for arms and kinetic balance). The researcher used the empirical method and selected. The researcher used fixed strength training using the stations method and reached the following conclusions: 1- The researcher concluded that the station training method contributed effectively in developing physical abilities as it is an interesting method and not traditional in shooting exercises. 2- There is a notable development in physical abilities of air pistol shooters (strength endurance of arms, the back and kinetic balance) which shows effectiveness of the prepared exercises and their positive effect. The researcher recommends making similar researches and studies in other sports with different age categories for males and females and study variables that serve the athletic level.
