Neurotracker Training to Improve The Archery Athlete Concentration

Abstract

Neurotracker is a 3D technology with Multiple Object Tracking (MOT). This technology has not been developed in Indonesia. Meanwhile, developed countries have implemented this technology in sport training, including in archery sport. In archery sport, the athletes are required to concentrate every time they perform a technique and to be fast and accurate in making a decision when aiming and releasing the arrows. The problem usually occurs during shooting is that the athlete doubts in aiming and releasing the arrows, thus the shooting result does not hit the target. It is caused by the athlete’s doubt and the lack of concentration. To overcome the problem, a neurotracker training is important to be conducted in every training process to improve the athletes’ concentration. The method used in this study was an experimental method. The samples were 20 persons chosen in a non-random sampling. The subjects were divided into two groups through a random assignment, thus the number of subject in each group was ten persons. The instrument to measure the concentration was the Concentration Grid Test. The design of the study was pretest-posttest control group design. To analyze the data, t-test was used. The result of the study showed that (1) there was a significant effect of the NeuroTracker training on the improvement of the archery athlete’s concentration, (2) there was a significant effect of conventional training on the improvement of archery athlete’s concentration, (3) there was a significant difference of effect between the NeuroTracker training and conventional training in the improvement of the archery athlete’s concentration. The NeuroTracker training was better than a conventional training in increasing the archery athlete’s concentration. It is suggested that the archery trainers implement the NeuroTracker technology in the training process as it could improve the concentration of the archery athletes.

“…The current study utilized similar aged athletes (19.8 ± 1.4 years) as Komarudin et al, (2021), which may potentially explain why there were no significant correlations seen with VTS with in-game metrics (Komarudin et al, 2020).…”

“…There is evidence to support NT and other forms of vision training potentially have a transfer effect into improvements in sports performance or increases in game performance statistics (Causer et al, 2011;Clark et al, 2012;Deveau et al, 2014;Komarudin et al, 2020;Nyquist et al, 2016;Oudejans et al, 2005;Romeas et al, 2016;Vine & Wilson, 2010). Most vision training studies are examining the effects of different perceptual training devices across varied sports and populations, which can make comparisons difficult.…”

Keterkaitan konsentrasi dengan akurasi panahan

“…Tingginya konsentrasi akan berdampak pada keberhasilannya, sedangkan atlet memiliki konsentrasi rendah akan mempengaruhi keberhasilannya dalam mencapai hasil yang maksimal dalam memanah. Berdasarkan penelitian yang diteliti oleh (Komarudin et al, 2018) di dalam olahraga panahan, para atlet harus bisa berkonsentrasi setiap suatu step memanah serta wajib inovasi dan pas saat menentukan pengambilan keputusan membidik dan melepaskan anak panah. Penelitian ini merupakan eksperimental.…”

Concentration Improvement Test for Athletes in Archery Training

“…The role of an athlete's mental ability in sports competition is prominent. 1 Our mental training for archers can go a long way in helping them perform well in the competition. A good shooter must have good concentration, relaxation, judgmental thinking, and anti-interference ability.…”
