Features of technical training of archer athletes for competitions

Abstract

Relevance. This article discusses and analyzes methods for maintaining vision and aiming, and it has been revealed that the topic is quite relevant today, as athletes spend a lot of time aiming, and in this regard, the visual organs are overstretched and, as a result, vision is impaired.

The purpose of the study: to develop ways to restore the maintenance of vision in athletes, to develop recommendations on shooting techniques in which optical imperfections of the eye least affect the accuracy of aiming, the technical result and do not damage the archer's eyesight.

Methods and organization of research. A group of 6 athletes was compiled for the analysis. Archery at a distance of 18 meters, 60 scoring shots. The firing time is 120 seconds for three shots. Then, for three weeks, the athletes performed an appropriate set of exercises for vision. In the fourth week, there was a repeat performance of a set of exercises.

Conclusions. After examining the characteristics of the aiming technique in the presence of visual defects, it was found that an archer should not aim for a long time and focus his gaze on any object in the interval between aiming. In order to maintain the "working capacity" of the eye without reducing the accuracy of aiming, an archer should not look at objects with bright illumination on time or before shooting, and it is also necessary to avoid exposing the eyes to sudden transitions from shadow to light.
