Characteristics of archery training

(1) Characteristics of archery

● The general process of archery is: under the action of the bow holding arm and the bow pulling arm, the bow deforms to generate elastic force. When the archer releases the arrow, the elastic force of the bow acts on the arrow through the bowstring, causing the arrow to move forward. This shows that in the whole process of shooting an arrow, the key to whether the arrow is shot accurately depends on the human operation, so it can be said that reasonable and accurate movements and force are the basis for shooting a good arrow.

● Shooting competitions are to see who shoots more accurately, so accuracy is the most prominent feature of shooting.

● The arrow is shot with the help of the elastic force of the bow, which shows that the bow is an energy converter, which converts the muscle strength of the human body into the power of shooting, or converts the physiological energy of the human body into the kinetic energy of the arrow's flight.

(2) Training characteristics of archery

● Archery is a sport that requires high accuracy and high skills, so the movements must be highly consistent, stable and coordinated. During the shooting process, the force should be smooth and have a distinct sense of fast rhythm.

● Use the least amount of force to complete effective archery actions in the shortest time.

● In the whole process of shooting an arrow, each step of the action must have a fixed standard, so that the action is as accurate and correct as a machine operation, and it repeats itself.

● The action procedure of each arrow must be very smooth, and there should be no hesitation in any link.

● Simplify the action procedure, remove unnecessary actions, and complete the action in one go. The most appropriate part of the body should be used, and the used part should be reduced to a minimum. When making movements, try to be natural, do not make forced movements, and when switching movements, it should be natural and smooth, and try to use inertia and natural forces.

● In training, no matter what training methods and means are used, the basic action specifications should be consistent. For example: in training such as drawing the bow, short-range release, shooting grass targets, shooting ring targets, and assessments, the requirements for technical specifications and time rhythm should be strictly consistent.

● In the process of starting shooting, various actions of both hands and arms should start at the same time, make corresponding actions in opposite directions at the same time, and end at the same time.

●Due to the inherent characteristics of archery and various restrictions of competition rules, the key to solving the problem of accuracy is to rely on the athlete's body muscle force feeling, which is the key to shooting a good arrow. Therefore, it is one of the important tasks of shooting training to concentrate highly during the training process and implement the correct force feeling in the training process of shooting each arrow.

●Archery training is a separate training process for one person. Although the action of archery is simple, it requires extremely high accuracy. Therefore, in the process of completing the training, athletes are required to have a strong "quality awareness" and have conscious, strict and high standards for their basic qualities.

(II) Standardized action requirements and procedures for archery

The standardized actions of archery are based on the scientific principles of human movement (must meet the requirements of biomechanics, sports anatomy, and sports physiology) and the characteristics and objective laws of archery. According to the athlete's body shape and the specifications of the equipment used, in order to obtain the consistency, stability, continuity, coordination and strict time rhythm of technical actions and then shoot the arrow into the ten rings, fully mobilize and give play to the athlete's body ability and psychological quality, and effectively complete the standardized procedures of shooting an arrow (it must meet the principle of linear force).

The standardized procedures for technical actions include standing, raising the bow, opening the bow and leaning on the string, leaning on the string and aiming, aiming and continuing to exert force, continuing to exert force and releasing, and temporarily retaining the action.

The training of standardized actions is very important in the primary training stage. The primary training stage is the foundation-laying stage and plays a decisive role in the future growth and development of athletes. If the basic training is not good, some wrong dynamic stereotypes will be formed, and it will take a long training cycle to readjust.
