“…Athletes target individualized trainability windows for a day or week within which the athlete can handle the load during small, medium, and long periods of training. 10 The timing of training stimuli at the athlete's physiological and psychological level should take precedence over training load or volume. If it can be combined with hypoxic training, it can provide adequate guidance on the synergistic physiological and psychological effects on athletes.…”

Introduction The biathlon is a snow sport that combines cross-country skiing and shooting, originating in Scandinavia. It requires athletes to not only have the ability to glide quickly over long distances but also to have the ability to shoot quickly and accurately. There is little research on biathlon characteristics and analysis of influencing factors and training strategies in China. Objective This study analyzes modern biathlon athletes’ specific explosive power, endurance and training effects at the Winter Olympics. Methods Twenty biathlon athletes were selected as research volunteers. Physiological and biochemical indicators of the athletes were experimentally tested after training. Results There was a correlation between maximum speed and the height of the athletes’ double stand test (SD) (p < 0.05). The heavier athletes skied relatively faster. However, the excessive body fat rate is not conducive to maintaining high-intensity skiing in the long term. The athletes’ VO2max was closely related to their skiing performance and shot hit percentage (p < 0.05). Conclusion Maintaining gun ski training can positively improve the competitive level of world-class biathletes. The athlete's muscles have a solid ability to generate high mechanical power in a short time. It is beneficial to take advantage of a favorable position after the start of the competition. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

“…A certain fire gun with a correct, specific, and comfortable grip position helps someone get proper trigger control and has a significant role in the shooting vibration 10 . The shooting vibration related to the body movement is known as BV (body vibration) [11][12][13] . BV can be classified into vertical and horizontal vibrations 14 .…”

The accuracy level is important in shooting activities and depends on many factors, such as hand tremors as body vibration and shooting position. Achieving high accuracy in different shooters is challenging, especially in the case of different shooting positions. However, there is a lack of information about the influence of shooting positions and experiences on a shooter’s body vibration and accuracy levels. Thus, this study aims to develop a portable and low-cost hand tremor measurement device (as a function of body vibration) to identify the influence of hand movement on shooting accuracy. For this purpose, low-cost accelerometer sensors and a microcontroller were used as the measurement kit. Three different shooting positions (squatting, standing, and prone) were analyzed. The shooters were classified into novice and expert groups. Each group had five participants with standard fire guns and accelerometer kits. These participants were asked to shoot the target to get their best accuracy. Besides, the hand tremor level data from the self-developed kit were recorded to investigate the hand tremors. The results show that the novice participants have more hand tremors in all shooting positions. There are significant differences between the squatting, standing, and prone positions in hand tremors for novice and expert participants. In the expert group, the prone and squatting positions have the least vibration level, indicated by the least acceleration (0.01 - 0.04 m/s2 for the expert group and 0.02 - 0.11 m/s2 for the novice group). The best accuracy for all positions is also obtained from expert shooters. It can be concluded that different shooting positions are related to the body vibrations. The expert shooters have a lower body vibration than the novice participants. The hand tremor levels may influence the accuracy level since different shooting positions and experiences have different vibration and accuracy levels
