Comparison of the Efficiency of Game-Based Exercise Program and Trunk Stabilization Exercise Training in Adolescent Playing Archery

Game-Based Exercise Program and Trunk Stabilization Exercise Training in Adolescent Playing Archery

The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of a game-based exercise (Exergame) program and trunk stabilization exercise training on shooting performance, reaction time, trunk muscle endurance and balance in adolescents playing archery. While the importance of the effect of trunk stabilization on shooting performance is mentioned in individuals practicing archery, it is emphasized that trunk stabilization training increases sportive performance and protects against injuries in individuals interested in sports for the upper extremity. However, no study is found that directly compared game-based exercise programs and trunk stabilization exercise training in adolescents who play archery. Therefore, two different training programs will be given to the adolescents playing archery at the Archers Foundation Sports Club in Istanbul, and Shooting performance, reaction time, trunk muscle endurance, and balance levels will be evaluated before and after the training.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Archers who have been practicing archery for at least 1 year
• Roller or Olympic archers

Exclusion Criteria:

• Archers with a history of musculoskeletal injuries causing physical limitation in the last 6 months.
• Archers who did not volunteer to participate in the study.
• Archers with any visual and hearing disabilities.
