“…From a physiological perspective, poor performance in recurve archery was correlated with high real-time heart rate 33 . Some heart rate variability (HRV) studies have indicated that females may exhibit a higher overall complexity of heart rate dynamics than males 34 .…”

This study explores the gender differences in archers’ ability to cope with adversity. Using data from professional recurve archery competitions held between 2012 and 2021, the Poisson regression analysis reveals that male and female archers' performance dropped significantly after experiencing two consecutive missing bullseyes, which means a cold-hand effect exists. However, although there was no significant difference in the performance of male and female archers on the third arrow, female archers have significantly lower last arrow per set scores than male archers after near poor performance or being in a situation where losing can only be avoided by winning the current set. This finding suggests that female archers are more vulnerable to the potentially negative effects of adversity caused by trailing or recent failures than their male counterparts. In addition, the reason for such a gender gap has been discussed.

“…Heart rate increases when individuals are under pressure or under psychological stress (Ahmad, 2016). Stress response activates two main physiological systems: the fast action of the sympathetic adrenal-medullary axis and the relatively slow action of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (Lu & Zhong, 2023). The hypothalamus signals the pituitary gland to send another signal to the adrenal gland, which in turn releases stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline (Lu & Zhong, 2023).…”

“…By measuring and analyzing the heart rate of each individual South Korean archer and how it fluctuates or steadies during The use of contactless heart rate monitoring has been tested on a large scale at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. At the games, the heart rate of 122 archers out of the 128 competing archers was measured while shooting using a highframe rate camera placed 12 meters from the shooting line (Lu & Zhong, 2023). The camera uses similar technology as the one created by Hyundai Motor to measure heart rate, inferring the athletes' heart rate in real-time on the basis of the athlete's skin reflectance and slight changes in color (Lu & Zhong, 2023).…”

In the modern day, South Korea is the most successful country in archery at the Olympics. The South Korean Women’s team is particularly known for their legendary record of gold at every Olympic Games since 1988. This success is not mere luck, however, as the South Korean archery team goes through much more rigorous and unique training compared to other countries. For one, archery is more widespread in Korea, allowing more people to try out the sport. The school system set in place in South Korea encourages the development of archers at a young age, which ultimately leads to more and more South Koreans pursuing archery as a career. In addition, the South Korean archery team goes through unique forms of training, such as mindfulness training, exposure therapy, heart rate analysis, equipment optimization through shooting robots, and general sports psychology techniques like positive self-talk and imagery. All of these training methods provide South Korean archers with benefits such as increased confidence, reduction of fear, higher concentration and focus levels, as well as superior insight into how their shot goes through. South Korea’s long success in archery is backed up by South Korea’s intense dedication to their training, through their long hours, as well as their commitment to go through various forms of unique training to improve.

IntroductionPsychologists are particularly interested in how people operate in stressful settings. The sporting arena is a “natural laboratory” for studying how people behave and perform in high-pressure situations. This study explores the gender differences in archers’ ability to cope with adversity, highlighting the significant cold-hand effect observed in both male and female archers, with notable differences in the last arrow performance under pressure.MethodsOur method is a Poisson general linear model -based test for the cold hand that examines how the performance of the last arrow per set depends on the performance of the previous two shots. We also interact the player’s gender with performance on the previous two arrows and game status to test for gender differences in response to past performance and intermediate game status.ResultsThe Poisson regression analysis reveals that male and female archers’ performance dropped significantly after experiencing two consecutive missing bullseyes, which means a cold-hand effect exists. However, although there was no significant difference in the performance of male and female archers on the third arrow, female archers have significantly lower last arrow per set scores than male archers after near poor performance or being in a situation where losing can only be avoided by winning the current set.DiscussionThis finding suggests that female archers are more vulnerable to the potentially negative effects of adversity caused by trailing or recent failures than their male counterparts. We attempt to explain the reasons behind the results above from both psychological and physiological perspectives.
