AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of upper body resistance training on muscle activation, psychophysiology and shooting performance among compound archers. This study involves a pre and post experimental design with experimental groups and control group. Thirty compound archers (Mean age = 19.0 _ 2.3 years) completed the whole study protocol. All parameters were measured at pre-intervention and post- intervention. Electromyography was used to measure muscle activation. Heart rate monitor was used to measure the physiological variable. The revised Competitive State Anxiety-2 was used to measure competitive state anxiety and shooting performance was assessed through the total scores of double 50 meters round. The results of Mixed factorial analysis of variance revealed a significant interaction between the experimental group and control group (p < 0.05) after the intervention for anconeus muscle and self-confidence. The experimental group was found (p = .02 < .05) for mus.....
