The Effect of Imagery Exercises on Attention and Performance in Olympic Archers

Официальное название

The Effect of Imagery and Breathing Exercises on Postural Sway and Target Achievement in Olympic Archers

Обзор

The goal of this clinical trial is to for beginners in archery in to examine the effects of Imagination and breathing exercises given in addition to 8-week archery training on archery target score, postural sway, attention, hand grip, visualization and respiratory function parameters.. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do Imagination and breathing exercises have an effect on archery target shooting score? * Do breathing exercises positively affect shooting performance by reducing postural sway? * Do archers' imagination skills positively affect their attention and performance? * Do hand grip strength and reaction time positively affect shooting performance? Participants will Routine exercises used in archery training will be applied to all participants. Researchers will compare control group, Imagination group and meditation group to see if Control group (CG); Only routine exercise program will be applied. To the Imagination Group (IG); In addition to routine exercises, a 15-minute visualization session will be applied. Respiratory Group (SG); Breathing exercises will be applied in addition to routine exercises.

Вмешательства

• Другое Routine Intervention
  These routine exercises used in archery training will be applied to all participants. Exercise sessions will be planned 2 days a week, every other day, for 8 weeks. It will progress progressively according to the athlete's tolerance.
• Другое Mental Imagery Intervention
  Mental Imagination will be done with Recording Audio. An audio recording will last 5 minutes. The audio recording will be listened to 3 times in one session. The total visualization session will last 15 minutes in a dark and quiet room.
• Другое Breathing Exercise Intervention
  Participants participating in Pranayama training will practice in a comfortable position in a quiet room at a temperature of 25 ± 2°C. The slow pranayama technique chosen is alternate nasal breathing (Nadishodhana Pranayama).
