Neuroscience training may boost archery performance

NCT ID NCT07051577

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a 6-week program of gaze stabilization, core and shoulder exercises, balance training, and cognitive drills can improve shooting accuracy and muscle control in young archers. Twenty-two licensed archers aged 15–18 will be split into an exercise group and a control group. Researchers will measure shooting scores, muscle activity, postural sway, and eye movements to see if the training makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
neuroscience-based exercise program (gaze stabilization, core stabilization, scapular stabilization, balance training, NeuroTracker training)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a training method that improves archery performance and reduces injury risk.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early-stage study with only 22 participants, so results may not apply to all archers. The exercises are non-invasive but require commitment; benefits are uncertain.
