About this study
The aim of this study is; to create a special exercise program that will improve the performance of shooting athletes and to examine the effect of this exercise program on shooting performance, muscular strength and endurance of air pistol athletes.
Read the detailed description
Air pistol shooting is an Olympic sport that requires precise and accurate shooting at the target sign. Many are the factors that can influence performance in Olympic pistol shooting. The ability to stabilize the gun is crucial for performance in Olympic pistol shooting and is thought to be related to the shooters muscular strength. Krasilshchikov, Zuraidee, and Singh suggest that the implementation of a physical conditioning program together with technique training is essential for the improvement of the ability to stabilize the pistol.
Books and journals specialized in Olympic shooting suggest that general physical condition programs, as well as specific strength exercises are necessary in order for performance to be improved. Al Wadi examined the effect of strength exercises on shooting performance and physical parameters with the 8-week station training method with female air pistol shooters in 2015. They found that this exercise program increased arm and waist strength and endurance, the kinetic balance changed positively, and there was a significant correlation between physical variables and shooting performance. However, the study of Belinchon reports that some factors regarding the physical condition of the Spanish Olympic shooters are inferior when compared to athletes of other sports. There is therefore the need for further study on the importance of physical conditioning in Olympic shooting.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Shooting Performance
Shooting performance will be calculated with electronic scoring system. (SIUS LS10 Laserscore, Swiss). Electronic Scoring System is an electronic target system for airguns. The target sign at which the shooting is made is 17x17 cm in size; The black dot with a diameter of 11.5 millimeters in the center is 10 points, and the outermost ring is 1 point, a total of 10 rings. Rings with a score of 7-10 are made of black, and rings with a score of less than 7 are made of light cardboard. As the place where the diabol(bullet of the airpistol) hits moves away from the center, the score from the shot decreases. Shooting scoring; It is obtained by adding the points received for each shot by the Electronic Scoring System. Athletes should make 60 shots in 75 minutes. In this way, the total success score was calculated for each athlete. While 0 is the lowest score 600 is the highest score.
Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing SHOOT exercise group and routine training group in people with Athletes, run by Gazi University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Shooting Performance (time frame: baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Feb 2024.
