Data collection Instrument and Procedure

The prepared questionnaire was applied during the 2000 Turkish Archery Championship. There were descriptive questions in the questionnaire to gather information about the general characteristics (gender, age, height, body weight, and training years) of the sample. Beside these, there were questions about training sessions, the number of arrows shot in a session, and the drawing weight in the questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to the archers during the competition in appropriate breaks in order not to distract competitors. The questionnaire was the only source of information on injuries;. there was no other instrument or clinical application in this study
