简要总结
This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the acute effects of a single session of core stabilization exercises on balance and upper extremity functional performance in competitive archers. Core stability is essential for postural control, neuromuscular coordination, and efficient force transfer during archery shooting. Understanding the immediate effects of core stabilization exercises may support their use as an effective warm-up and performance-enhancing strategy in archery athletes.
详细描述
Archery is a precision sport requiring optimal postural stability, balance, and upper extremity control. Core muscles play a critical role in maintaining trunk stability and enabling effective force transmission along the kinetic chain. Insufficient core stability may negatively affect shooting accuracy, balance, reaction time, and upper extremity performance, while also increasing injury risk.
Although long-term effects of core stabilization exercises have been widely investigated, evidence regarding their acute effects on balance and upper extremity functional performance in archers is limited. This randomized controlled trial is designed to evaluate the immediate effects of a single session of core stabilization exercises added to routine warm-up on balance, upper extremity stability, reaction time, muscle strength, grip strength, and shooting performance.
Assessments will be conducted before and immediately after the intervention. The findings of this study may contribute to optimizing warm-up protocols and performance strategies in archery training and rehabilitation settings.
