We examined whether
Heart Rate Variability (HRV), together with flow and trait emotional
intelligence may predict variations in arrow shooting accuracy for novice
archers. 30 novice archers ranging in age from 18 to 23 volunteered.
Participants first completed the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Inventory.
Then, participants’ resting HRV was measured for 4 minutes. Afterwards,
participants shot 10 arrows from 18 m to an 80 cm diameter target while their
HRV was measured. Accuracy was determined in terms of radial distance (error)
from the center of the target. In order to calculate an overall performance
score, the median value of the 10 arrows was calculated for each participant.
Results showed that HRV, certain flow dimensions, and trait emotional
intelligence may have account for variations in novice archers’ shooting
accuracy. On the basis of the results obtained from the current study, we
conclude that the determination of performance or shooting accuracy should be
based on both physiological and psychological characteristics, in this case,
HRV, flow, and emotional intelligence. This information might be beneficial for
coaches, athletes, or other practitioners aiming to develop archers’
performance.
