Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Do Imagination and breathing exercises have an effect on archery target shooting score?
* Do breathing exercises positively affect shooting performance by reducing postural sway?
* Do archers' imagination skills positively affect their attention and performance?
* Do hand grip strength and reaction time positively affect shooting performance?
Participants will Routine exercises used in archery training will be applied to all participants.
Researchers will compare control group, Imagination group and meditation group to see if Control group (CG); Only routine exercise program will be applied. To the Imagination Group (IG); In addition to routine exercises, a 15-minute visualization session will be applied. Respiratory Group (SG); Breathing exercises will be applied in addition to routine exercises.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control group (CG)
Only routine exercise program will be applied
No interventions assigned to this group
Imagination Group (IG)
In addition to routine exercises, a 15-minute visualization session will be applied.
Routine Intervention
These routine exercises used in archery training will be applied to all participants. Exercise sessions will be planned 2 days a week, every other day, for 8 weeks. It will progress progressively according to the athlete's tolerance.
Mental Imagery Intervention
Mental Imagination will be done with Recording Audio. An audio recording will last 5 minutes. The audio recording will be listened to 3 times in one session. The total visualization session will last 15 minutes in a dark and quiet room.
Respiratory Group (RG)
Breathing exercises will be applied in addition to routine exercises.
Routine Intervention
These routine exercises used in archery training will be applied to all participants. Exercise sessions will be planned 2 days a week, every other day, for 8 weeks. It will progress progressively according to the athlete's tolerance.
Breathing Exercise Intervention
Participants participating in Pranayama training will practice in a comfortable position in a quiet room at a temperature of 25 ± 2°C. The slow pranayama technique chosen is alternate nasal breathing (Nadishodhana Pranayama).
