About this study

Official title: The Effect of Pulmonary Functions and Respiratory Muscle Strength on Sports Performance in Elite Archers

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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. FEV1 (liter)

    This is the amount of air with pulmonary function test that the patient can force out of their lungs in one second.

    Measured: at the enrollment

  2. FEV1 (%-percentage)

    This is the percentage of air with pulmonary function test that the patient can force out of their lungs in one second.

    Measured: at the enrollment

  3. FVC (liter)

    This is the greatest total amount of air patient can forcefully breathe out after breathing in as deeply as possible.

    Measured: at the enrollment

  4. FVC (%-percentage)

    This is the percentage of air patient can forcefully breathe out after breathing in as deeply as possible.

    Measured: 7 months

  5. FEV1/FVC (percentage)

    The FEV1/FVC ratio is a number that represents the percentage of patient lung capacity patient is able to exhale in one second.

    Measured: at the enrollment

  6. Inspiratory muscle test

    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).

    Measured: at the enrollment

  7. Expiratory muscle test

    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).

    Measured: at the enrollment

  8. Shooting performance

    The high shooting score indicates high arrow shooting performance.

    Measured: at the enrollment

  9. Nelson Hand Reaction Test

    The average value when the participants catch the ruler for three attempts

    Measured: at the enrollment

  10. Moberg-pickup collection test

    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)

    Measured: at the enrollment

  11. The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)

    Assess fatigue severity with 9-item self reporting scale

    Measured: at the enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing archery respiratory parameters in people with Sports Physical Therapy, run by Halic University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

FEV1 (liter) (time frame: at the enrollment). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Mar 2024.
