The present study aimed to investigate the association between trait emotional intelligence and heart rate variability (HRV) recovery responses of archers immediately after a shooting session. The sample included 87 novice archers ranging in age from 18 to 26. Participants first completed Schutte Emotional Intelligence Inventory. Then, they shot 10 arrows from 18 m to an 80-cm diameter target in four minutes. Afterward, participants' HRV recovery responses were measured during a four-minute recovery period. In this study, HRV was represented in terms of low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and LF/HF ratio. Results indicated a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and HRV recovery responses. A regression model containing emotional intelligence sub-dimensions was able to explain a significant amount of variance in HRV frequency domain parameters. Besides, high emotional intelligence archers were found to have higher-level LF and HF power but a lower LF/HF ratio than their low emotional intelligence counterparts. Taken together, the results observed in the present study indicated that emotional intelligence might give rise to more adaptive HRV recovery responses following a demanding arrow shooting session.
本研究旨在调查特质情绪智力与射手在射击训练后立即的心率变异性（HRV）恢复反应之间的关联。样本包括87名年龄在18至26岁之间的新手射手。参与者首先完成舒特情绪智力量表。然后，他们在四分钟内从18米处向直径80厘米的靶标射出10支箭。之后，在四分钟的恢复期内测量参与者的HRV恢复反应。在本研究中，HRV以低频（LF）、高频（HF）和LF/HF比值来表示。结果表明情绪智力与HRV恢复反应之间存在显著关系。一个包含情绪智力子维度的回归模型能够解释HRV频域参数中很大一部分方差。此外，发现高情绪智力的射手比低情绪智力的射手具有更高水平的LF和HF功率，但LF/HF比值更低。综上所述，本研究观察到的结果表明，情绪智力可能会在要求较高的射箭训练后引发更具适应性的HRV恢复反应。
