The effect of six weeks training with Aerotrim instrument on the balance and performance accuracy in beginner girl shooters

Due to the role of balance in increasing accuracy of shooting, especially in the standing position, doing balance exercises is particularly important in this sport.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a six-week training program with Aerotrim instrument (Warping three-dimensional) on the balance and performance accuracy of shooting in beginner girl shooters. For this purpose, 30 subjects (age: 17.49±1.01 years, weight: 56.60±8.01 kg, and height: 162.73±5.15 cm) were chosen from a sports high school and assigned into experimental and control groups randomly. The BESS test was used to assess balance and a special shooting test was used to evaluate the participants’ accuracy of shooting. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods (Paired t-test and independent t-test) were used to analyze the data.
Results showed a significant improvement in the balance and accuracy of shooting in the experimental group (p=0.001) and a high effect size for the training program with Aerotrim instrument.
Thus, it seems that exercise with the device could positively affect the ventricular systems and therefore can be used as a good training method.
