About this trial

This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the acute effects of a single session of core stabilization exercises on balance and upper extremity functional performance in competitive archers. Core stability is essential for postural control, neuromuscular coordination, and efficient force transfer during archery shooting. Understanding the immediate effects of core stabilization exercises may support their use as an effective warm-up and performance-enhancing strategy in archery athletes.

Treatments tested in this trial

Core Training Exercise
Other intervention
Participants in the intervention group will perform a single session of core stabilization exercises targeting the deep and superficial trunk muscles. The exercise session will include static and dynamic stabilization exercises performed on stable and unstable surfaces, focusing on trunk control, postural alignment, and neuromuscular activation.
