AIM: The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of heart rate on shooting performance in elite archers. METHODS: ) for 3 minutes in a 20 m course following with 1 minute stop during which they performed 3 shots to 18 meter distance indoor target, and followed by 1 minute rest, where blood sample was collected from ear lobe for blood lactate (BL) analysis. Heart rate monitors were used for heart rate (HR) recordings with 5 seconds intervals for resting, running, shooting, and recovery periods. The score of the shots were recorded as in the normal archery indoor competition. Average (overall) results were taken into account for statistical analysis. RESULTS: ) respectively. There was not any statistically difference between shooting scores (27.50-27.23 points) after running exercise and resting (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: It was concluded that, under simulated indoor competition environment, high HR values do not influence short distance shooting scores.
