The aim
of this study is to research the effects of air pistol balance shootings on
shooting success, which performed for 12 weeks with certain air pistol
shooters.
49
volunteer shooters has participated in the shootings, which composed of 25
women between 15-17 ages (n=13 experiment, n=12 control) and 24 men (n=12
experiment, n=12 control) from three shooting sports club in Ankara. While the
experiment and control groups continued shooting trainings, experiment groups
were practised balance exercises with bosu ball three times a week during 12
weeks following the shooting training.
SPSS
23 package program was used in the analysis of the obtained data. In order to
determine whether the data showed normal distribution, normality analysis was
conducted and the distribution was found to be normal. The comparison of the
control and experimental groups were analyzed by independent sample t test and
the pre- and post-test comparisons were analyzed by paired sample t test.
Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between
achievement score and static and dynamic balance. In the statistical analyzes
used in the research, the significance level was accepted as 0.05 and 0.001. At
the end of 12 weeks, on both women and men experiment and balance groups,
significant differences were detected between dynamic balance pre-test and post-test
results (p<0,05). As for the static balance results of both genders, only on
the experiment groups considerable differences were found (p<0,001).
As a
result of the study it can be concluded that the balance exercises practiced
for 12 weeks have affected the shooting performance positively by improving
static and dynamic balance.
