The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that a combined relaxation (applied tension release, ATR) and specific shooting training regimen may enhance shooting ability of biathlon athletes. Seven biathletes of high national level were randomized into an experimental group (age 20 ± 5 years; Vo2max 60 ± 8 mL kg(-1) min(-1)) and were asked to add this special training intervention to their regular training for 10 weeks, while five other biathletes served as controls (age 19 ± 2 years; Vo2max 57 ± 10 mL kg(-1) min(-1)). The shooting ability of the subjects was assessed before and after the intervention at rest and after roller skiing on a treadmill in a laboratory-based competition simulating assessment. After the intervention period, the experimental group demonstrated a significantly enhanced shooting performance compared to the control group. No changes in Vo2max or in heart rate and Vo2 responses were observed before and after the intervention in either group and there were no differences between the groups in these parameters. Thus, the preliminary conclusion is that a combination of ATR and specific shooting training seems to be instrumental in enhancing the shooting performance in biathlon.
本研究旨在验证以下假设，即联合放松（应用张力释放，ATR）和特定射击训练方案可能会提高冬季两项运动员的射击能力。将 7 名高水平的冬季两项运动员随机分为实验组（年龄 20 ± 5 岁；Vo2max 60 ± 8 mL kg(-1) min(-1)），要求他们在 10 周的常规训练中增加这种特殊训练干预，而另外 5 名冬季两项运动员作为对照组（年龄 19 ± 2 岁；Vo2max 57 ± 10 mL kg(-1) min(-1)）。在干预前后，受试者在休息时和在实验室模拟评估的跑步机上进行滚轮滑雪后，进行了射击能力评估。干预后，实验组的射击表现明显优于对照组。在干预前后，两组的 Vo2max 或心率和 Vo2 反应均无变化，且两组之间在这些参数上没有差异。因此，初步结论是，ATR 和特定射击训练的结合似乎有助于提高冬季两项的射击表现。
