Brief summary
Purpose: The physical, physiological, and functional characteristics of archers affect target shooting performance. In our study, we aimed to examine the effect of pulmonary functions and respiratory muscle strength on sports performance in archers. Methods: Our study included 46 (27 female, 19 male) professional archers registered in archery sports clubs. Sociodemographic and physical characteristics were recorded. Pulmonary function test (PFT), respiratory muscle strength, shooting performance test, Moberg-pickup collection test, Nelson hand reaction test, and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) were applied to all participants.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| FEV1 (liter) | at the enrollment | This is the amount of air with pulmonary function test that the patient can force out of their lungs in one second. |
| FEV1 (%-percentage) | at the enrollment | This is the percentage of air with pulmonary function test that the patient can force out of their lungs in one second. |
| FVC (liter) | at the enrollment | This is the greatest total amount of air patient can forcefully breathe out after breathing in as deeply as possible. |
| FVC (%-percentage) | 7 months | This is the percentage of air patient can forcefully breathe out after breathing in as deeply as possible. |
| FEV1/FVC (percentage) | at the enrollment | The FEV1/FVC ratio is a number that represents the percentage of patient lung capacity patient is able to exhale in one second. |
| Inspiratory muscle test | at the enrollment | Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) is going to measured using a mouth pressure meter (MicroRPM; MicroMedical, UK) according to the guideline of ATS and European Respiratory Society (ERS). |
| Shooting performance | at the enrollment | The high shooting score indicates high arrow shooting performance. |
| Nelson Hand Reaction Test | at the enrollment | The average value when the participants catch the ruler for three attempts |
| Expiratory muscle test | at the enrollment | Maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) is going to measured using a mouth pressure meter (MicroRPM; MicroMedical, UK) according to the guideline of ATS and European Respiratory Society (ERS). |
| Moberg-pickup collection test | at the enrollment | Assess manual dexterity and function by measuring the time it takes to pick up twelve different small objects (screws, paper clips, rings, safety pins, small nuts, coins, and wrenches) |
| The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) | at the enrollment | Assess fatigue severity with 9-item self reporting scale |
