Effects of Physical Fitness On Air-rifle Shooting Performance

The present study was attempted to investigate the effects of physical fitness on air-rifle shooting performance. The four variables, such as sit-up, push-up, standing longjump, and trunk flexion were selected as a measure of physical fitness. The standing, sitting, kneeling, and prone position were selected as a measure of shooting performance. The subjects were 143 college males of Seoul National University; shooter (n=20), ROTC student (n=59), general students (n=64). The following conclusions were obtained. Little difference of physical fithess was showed among three groups. As for the results of shooting performance, the shooter group, and little difference was obtained between ROTC and general students group. The results of standing posture shooting and sit-up was showed a low negative relation ship (r=-0.18). .A moderate positive relationship (r=0.55) was obtained between the result of kneeling and sit-up, but a low positive relationship (r=0.18) and a low negative relationship (r=-0.18) were showed between the result of kneeling and push-up, standing long jump respectively. A strong negative correlationship (r=-0.88) was obtained between the result of sitting and standing long jump, and a moderate positive (r=0.42) and a low negative relationship (r=-0.26) was showed between the result of sitting, sit-up, trunk flexion respectively. Between the result of prone and standing long jump, there was a moderate relationship (r=0.68)
