Implication

This randomized trial explores how upper-limb strength differences affect rifle shooting performance in elite athletes, suggesting implications for training.

Key Points

To explore the relationship between upper-limb strength asymmetry and rifle shooting performance across different shooting positions.
Thirteen elite rifle shooters performed a 20-shot series in prone, kneeling, and standing positions according to ISSF rules.
Bilateral maximal isokinetic strength of the wrist, elbow, and shoulder was measured using a Biodex System 4 dynamometer.
Spearman correlation analyses and simple linear regression models examined associations between strength asymmetry indices and shooting performance outcomes.
Greater shoulder action asymmetry showed large negative associations with scores in prone, kneeling, and standing positions.
Standing performance negatively associated with wrist flexion asymmetry.
Good-10 hits were negatively associated with both shoulder and wrist asymmetry indices.
