“…The muscles considered for this study are only in the archer's right arm, namely the flexor digitorum and deltoid muscles. Both of these muscles can cause an injury to the archer and these were the main concern (Ertan, Kentel, Tümer, & Korkusuz, 2003;Soylu, et al, 2006;Tinazci, 2011). Figure 7 indicates the activity of the flexor digitorum muscle during shooting.…”

The purpose of this study is to measure the biomechanics parameters of the sport of archery and correlate these with the games performance. Archery is becoming a sport that may potentially success in the 2016 Olympic Games. Therefore, research in this sport can be directly relevant to athlete's performance during games tournaments. This research is considered as a preliminary study to measure the biomechanics parameters that can be applied to the professional athlete. Biomechanics parameters such as muscle activity, heartbeat, balance and body posture as well as the draw force line were selected as important parameters related to the athlete's performance. The subject in this study shot arrows on a force plate while a high speed video camera captured the arrow velocity, body posture and elbow angle. Furthermore, these parameters are then correlated with the point of the target or the archer's performance in order to propose the correct shooting technique. The findings of this study are the draw force line angle, the most active muscle, the foot weight balance and the aiming concentration release time. All the results will help both coach and athlete to improve the performance of the sport, and especially assist both beginner level archers aiming to become expert and elite players.

“…The role of archery has progressed from a necessity for survival and hunting (Lombard, 2011) through warfare, a recreational past time, to become an Olympic sport. High performance in Olympic archery can be defined as the ability to shoot an arrow at a given target with high accuracy (Edelmann-Nusser, Heller, Hofmann, & Ganter, 2006;Ertan, Kentel, Tümer, & Korkusuz, 2003;Ertan, Knicker, Soylu, & Strüder, 2011;Leroyer, Van Hoecke, & Helal, 1993). To measure shot accuracy, the straight-line distance of the arrow to the target centre can be used which can develop the precision of analysis over the use of score (Callaway & Broomfield, 2012).…”

“…They concluded that other factors than the bowstring release mechanism discriminate the performances of skilled archers. However, Ertan et al (2003) advanced this understanding by identifying a contraction-relaxation stratagem used during the release phase of the shot in the forearm extensors. These results demonstrate a contradiction to anecdotal evidence.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the temporal phases of the archery shot cycle that distinguish the arrows distance from centre, in an attempt to understand critical factors that affect performance. Fifteen archers of varying ability each performed 30 shots at 18m. Fourteen potential predictor variables were measured for statistical modeling by stepwise multiple linear regression.The results show that pre-shot time (pre-performance routine), release time

“…Electromyographic (EMG) data of skeletal muscles' activation and its differences when comparing experts and novices has been studied in several sports like archery [4], cycling [3], badminton [8], tennis [5], and golf [2]. In a golf expert-novice comparison no significant differences were found between the EMG records of the two groups [2].…”

“…The authors concluded that there were different combinations of muscle action that could be used to produce similar kinematics [2]. However, differences in EMG data have been found not only between athletes of different qualification levels [3,4,5,6,8] but also between successful and unsuccessful performance [6,8]. Chapman et al [3] explained the differences between the EMG data of experienced and novice cyclists with the skilled and masterful movement of highly qualified athletes and considered probable that it was the result of neuromuscular adaptation acquired during long-time workout.…”

The aim of the present study was to compare the activation of the shoulder muscles in more and less skilled novus players during shots of different difficulty level. Nineteen competitive novus players (9 more skilled and 10 less skilled) were recruited to examine bioelectrical activity of the shoulder muscles (trapezius, deltoid lateral and posterior muscles) during a striking accuracy task. Participants performed 3 series, each consisted of 10 novus shots -10 penalties, 10 cut and 10 rebound shots. Surface EMG (sEMG) amplitude of posterior and lateral deltoid and trapezius muscle of the subjects' dominant side was measured during the shot and compared between successful versus unsuccessful shots in more skilled and less skilled players. Unsuccessful penalties and rebound strokes compared to successful ones in more and less skilled players, and unsuccessful cut shots compared to successful ones in more skilled players are characterized by higher activity in trapezius muscle. Higher activity of trapezius muscle is a characteristic feature of less skilled players' novus shots. During successful penalties, cut and rebound shots the sEMG amplitude of trapezius muscle in more skilled players was significantly lower (34%; p<0.05; 19%; p<0.001 and 60%; p<0.01, respectively) than in less skilled players.
