The Effect of Respiratory on Sports Performance in Archers

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Sports Physical Therapy
• Interventions: Other: archery respiratory parameters

• Registration Number: NCT06320873
• Lead Sponsor: Halic University

Brief Summary

Purpose: The physical, physiological, and functional characteristics of archers affect target shooting performance. In our study, we aimed to examine the effect of pulmonary functions and respiratory muscle strength on sports performance in archers.

Methods: Our study included 46 (27 female, 19 male) professional archers registered in archery sports clubs. Sociodemographic and physical characteristics were recorded. Pulmonary function test (PFT), respiratory muscle strength, shooting performance test, Moberg-pickup collection test, Nelson hand reaction test, and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) were applied to all participants.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Results of sports performance parameters values in archers	archery respiratory parameters	Sociodemographic and physical characteristics, Pulmonary function test (PFT), respiratory muscle strength, shooting performance test, Moberg-pickup collection test, Nelson hand reaction test, and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Inspiratory muscle test	at the enrollment	Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) is going to measured using a mouth pressure meter (MicroRPM; MicroMedical, UK) according to the guideline of ATS and European Respiratory Society (ERS).
Expiratory muscle test	at the enrollment	Maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) is going to measured using a mouth pressure meter (MicroRPM; MicroMedical, UK) according to the guideline of ATS and European Respiratory Society (ERS).
Shooting performance	at the enrollment	The high shooting score indicates high arrow shooting performance.
FEV1 (%-percentage)	at the enrollment	This is the percentage of air with pulmonary function test that the patient can force out of their lungs in one second.
FVC (%-percentage)	7 months	This is the percentage of air patient can forcefully breathe out after breathing in as deeply as possible.
FEV1 (liter)	at the enrollment	This is the amount of air with pulmonary function test that the patient can force out of their lungs in one second.
FVC (liter)	at the enrollment	This is the greatest total amount of air patient can forcefully breathe out after breathing in as deeply as possible.
FEV1/FVC (percentage)	at the enrollment	The FEV1/FVC ratio is a number that represents the percentage of patient lung capacity patient is able to exhale in one second.
The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)	at the enrollment	Assess fatigue severity with 9-item self reporting scale
Moberg-pickup collection test	at the enrollment	Assess manual dexterity and function by measuring the time it takes to pick up twelve different small objects (screws, paper clips, rings, safety pins, small nuts, coins, and wrenches)
Nelson Hand Reaction Test	at the enrollment	The average value when the participants catch the ruler for three attempts
