Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to: (i) characterize the effect of repeated archery shots on the EMG parameters of certain selected upper limb muscles; and (ii) evaluate how manipulation of the initial two-second tension phase, in particular involving muscle stretching, affects these EMG parameters after repeated shots.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

EMG measurements will be collected for selected muscles in the shoulder joint and forearm, at points: initially at the beginning, after the athletes have performed 50 and another 50 archery shots, and finally after undergoing manual therapy. The main phase of muscle testing will take place in the Aiming phase.
