The Validation On Efficacy Of Functional Optimum-Integrating Training Of Cortex Concerning Motor And Attention In Archery And Shotgun

Purpose:To validate the efficacy of Functional Optimum-Integrating Training of Cortex Concerning Motor and Attention in shoot and archery, which can provide theoretical and experimental basis for its widely application in sports practice.Methods:1.24 archers and 20 shotgun shooters were selected from Sports centre of Shooting and Archery in Shanghai, and they were all required to complete Attention Test, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS).2. Functional Optimum-Integrating Training of Cortex Concerning Motor and Attention were applied to improve attention levels for 4 weeks, and athlete were assigned into either Elite athletes or Sub-elite athletes by performance level, and Positives or Negatives by numbers of practices.Results:1. One sample t-test revealed that scores on attention of archers and shotgun shooters were significantly higher than norms (p<0.001), which menifestified itself in better attentional distribution (p<0.01) and attenional span (p<0.05), but worse attenional stability (p<0.001).2. Multiple linear regressions showed that SAS stepped into regression equation of attention and attentional distribution. Attention in total=47.614+0.059×SAS, R2=0.166. Attentional distribution=-1.227+0.035×SAS, R2=0.263.3. Repeated measurement data analysis revealed that ball-droppings of Elite archers (4.33±0.72) were significantly (p<0.05) more than that of Sub-elite archers (6.52±0.69), but for shotgun shooters, such difference was in effective reading words (p<0.05)4. Paried t-test showed that time effects in ball-droppings (p<0.01; p<0.05) and effective reading words(p<0.01; p<0.05)were significant both in shotgun and archery. And there were significant differences (p<0.05) in attention and performance levels between pre-practice and post- practice, furthermore, such differences in training effects are also significant (p<0.05).Discussion:Attention, automatic processing and performance levels of athletes can be improved by Functional Optimum-Integrating Training of Cortex Concerning Motor and Attention, therefore, Functional Optimum-Integrating Training of Cortex Concerning Motor and Attention is an effective concentration training method, and is ready to be employed in sports.
