Application of Manual Therapy to Archers
Sponsor: Medical University of Gdansk
Summary
The aim of this study is to: (i) characterize the effect of repeated archery shots on the EMG parameters of certain selected upper limb muscles; and (ii) evaluate how manipulation of the initial two-second tension phase, in particular involving muscle stretching, affects these EMG parameters after repeated shots.
