The effects of the wobble board on archery accuracy at 30 meters for archers

Introduction

The effects of the wobble board on archery accuracy at 30 meters for archers. Discover how wobble board training significantly improves archery accuracy at 30 meters for archers. A quasi-experimental study reveals a clear positive effect on shooting performance.

Abstract

This research aims to determine whether wobble board training methods affect shooting accuracy in archers at a distance of 30 meters. This research uses a quasi-experimental method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The research sample consisted of 12 archers aged 15–18 years, selected from the SELABORA Archery of FIK UNY. The instrument used was archery at a 30 meters distance. The data analysis technique employed Normality Test using SPSS 25 software, followed by a Homogeneity Test to determine whether sample variances derived from the same population were equal. Based on the research findings and discussion: Based on the analysis of the archery accuracy data of SELABORA Archery FIK UNY, the calculated t value (5,437) > t table (2,20), and the p value (0,000) < of 0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that wobble board training significantly affects archery accuracy at 30 meters among SELABORA Archery FIK UNY.

Review

This study investigates the impact of wobble board training on archery accuracy at 30 meters. Employing a quasi-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design, the research involved a small sample of 12 archers aged 15-18 from a specific archery club. The primary finding, supported by statistical analysis (t-value = 5.437, p < 0.05), indicates a statistically significant improvement in archery accuracy following the implementation of wobble board training. The authors conclude that wobble board training significantly affects archery accuracy at the specified distance. While the research addresses a relevant topic within sports performance and attempts to quantify an intervention's effect, its methodological design presents substantial limitations. The one-group pretest-posttest design, lacking a control group, makes it challenging to attribute observed improvements solely to the wobble board training; external factors such as practice effects, natural maturation, or other concurrent training cannot be ruled out as alternative explanations. Furthermore, the small sample size of 12 participants severely restricts the generalizability of the findings to a broader population of archers. Crucially, the abstract provides no details regarding the specific wobble board training protocol (e.g., duration, frequency, exercises), making replication or a deeper understanding of the intervention's nature impossible. The precise method for measuring 'archery accuracy' at 30 meters is also not specified, hindering the interpretation of the outcome. Despite the statistical significance reported, the practical implications of these findings are difficult to ascertain without a detailed description of the intervention and the magnitude of improvement. While the study suggests a potential benefit of wobble board training for archers, the aforementioned methodological weaknesses prevent drawing firm conclusions about its effectiveness. Future research would significantly benefit from a more robust experimental design, ideally incorporating a control group and a larger, more diverse sample. Providing comprehensive details on the training intervention and the precise measurement of accuracy would also be essential for establishing the study's validity and utility. As it stands, this preliminary investigation opens an avenue for further exploration but requires more rigorous execution to contribute definitively to the understanding of balance training in archery.
