First seen Apr 19, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study tested whether doing core exercises on an unstable surface (like a balance ball) improves shooting performance more than the same exercises on a stable floor. Twenty elite air pistol shooters trained for 8 weeks, and their accuracy and stability were measured. The goal was to see if unstable training gives an extra edge for holding the gun steady.
