The effects of heart rate and aiming time on performance in Turkish National Archery Team

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of aiming time and heart rate on the performance. Three elite female national subject was used in this study. The shooting performance was observed only in 70 m. To evaluate heart rate, Delta Plus CP/I portable, interpreting model ECG, to determine  the releasing time double channel ME 3000 micro-processor, Muscle Tester were used. The results of the study; the shooting heart rate is116,2±7,16 bpm., aiming time is 3,56±0,59 s. And the heart rate of the time between two shooting  is 113,13±9,54 bpm. According to statistical analysis, a significant difference between shooting HR and aiming time of arrows which hit the different point on the target has been observed (p<0,05).The relationships between shooting HR-performance and shooting HR-Aiming time have been observed.

While shootings come close to the center of the target (through the 10 point) the shooting heart rate and aiming time has decreased and there is no change in the value of the heart rate of the time between two shooting.
