The article examines the impact of circuit training on physical fitness and shooting accuracy among beginner archers aged 10–12. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to improve the effectiveness of physical training at the initial stage of long-term athletic development of young archers. The study involved novice archers aged 10–12 years, enrolled in grades 4–6 of general education schools and participating in archery training at sports clubs and sports schools in Uzbekistan. All participants had an initial level of sports training and regularly attended training sessions. The sample included 20 athletes, comprising 10 boys and 10 girls. For analysis, participants were divided into two groups by gender: a boys’ group and a girls’ group. To assess the level of physical fitness, control exercises are commonly used in general physical training. The test battery included: a 30 m sprint; squats; bent-knee hang; push-ups; and pull-ups on a horizontal bar. Based on the conducted study and the analysis of the obtained data, the following conclusions can be drawn: Circuit training has a statistically significant effect on improving the level of physical fitness of novice archers aged 10–12 years training in sports schools in Uzbekistan. The application of circuit training contributes to a significant improvement in shooting accuracy among novice athletes of both genders, confirming the relationship between physical fitness level and archery performance. Circuit training is an effective, accessible, and safe means of physical preparation at the initial stage of long-term athletic development and can be recommended for use within the system of sports schools.
