摘要：The aimof this study is to research the effects of air pistol balance shootings onshooting success, which performed for 12 weeks with certain air pistolshooters.49volunteer shooters has participated in the shootings, which composed of 25women between 15-17 ages (n=13 experiment, n=12 control) and 24 men (n=12experiment, n=12 control) from three shooting sports club in Ankara. While theexperiment and control groups continued shooting trainings, experiment groupswere practised balance exercises with bosu ball three times a week during 12weeks following the shooting training.SPSS23 package program was used in the analysis of the obtained data. In order todetermine whether the data showed normal distribution, normality analysis wasconducted and the distribution was found to be normal. The comparison of thecontrol and experimental groups were analyzed by independent sample t test andthe pre- and post-test comparisons were analyzed by paired sample t test.Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship betweenachievement score and static and dynamic balance. In the statistical analyzesused in the research, the significance level was accepted as 0.05 and 0.001. Atthe end of 12 weeks, on both women and men experiment and balance groups,significant differences were detected between dynamic balance pre-test and post-testresults (p<0,05). As for the static balance results of both genders, only onthe experiment groups considerable differences were found (p<0,001).As aresult of the study it can be concluded that the balance exercises practicedfor 12 weeks have affected the shooting performance positively by improvingstatic and dynamic balance.
