Acute Effects of Aerobic Exercise, Core Stability Exercise and Static Stretch on Elite Women Shooters Performance

The purpose of this research was study of acute effects of aerobic exercise, core stability exercise and static stretch on elite women shooters performance. For this Sixteen female shooters participated in the study randomly assigned to four groups of Aerobic: five minutes of aerobic activity, Core stability: five-minute Core stability movements on the floor, stretch: five-minute total body static stretching and Control. All subjects carried out four protocols in two consecutive days as the cross design. After each Protocol, participants performed 20 shots with air pistol. Shooting performance analyzed by Scatt Shooting Training System. The data analyzed by the ANOVA with repeated measures method. Aerobic group's Record, significantly higher than other groups. Shot group was higher between aerobic with core stability and stretch groups, significantly. It was shown significant difference between aerobic group with stretching and control groups, in the stability on center of target. However, the difference in fluctuations of the aiming point was not significant between four groups. The results suggested that moderate intensity aerobic in a way that engages the neuromuscular coordination can improve shooting performance.
