The aim of this study; The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of conditioning exercises on aiming and shooting performance in archery. 12 archery athletes who are studying at Aksaray University, actively engaged in archery and participating in competitions (5 Female; Bow type: 3 classic bows, 2 roller bows, Age: 22.00±1.58 years, Height:166. 40±3.78 cm, Body weight: 58.20±4.03 kg, Age of sport: 4.60±1.14 years 7 Male; Bow type: 4 classical bows 3 roller bows, Age: 21.14±1.22 years, Height: 171.43±5.09 cm, Body weight: 76.00±5.63 kg, Sports age: 6.14±1.35 years) Research group was formed. In addition to their normal training for athletes; Conditioning training was applied for 8 weeks, 3 days a week. A pre-test and a post-test at the end of 8 weeks were applied to the athletes before they started their fitness training. Aiming test: The athletes were measured 3 times with a stopwatch after pulling the bow, the best test result was evaluated in the pre-test and post-tests. Shooting score test: It was carried out by scoring 2 x 36 total 72 arrows and 720 points out of 720 rounds specified in TOF. 6 arrows were fired in each set. The test was taken as 6 sets of 2 circuits. 240 sec each set. was awarded, the shots that took place after the time was up were considered as caravans and each arrow to the caravan was deducted from the highest scores in order. Non-parametric tests were chosen because the number of archers was below 30 statistically. It is understood that there is a positive differentiation in favor of the Wilcoxon signed-row test aiming test post-test (p<0.05). It is understood that there is a positive differentiation in favor of the Wilcoxon signed-rows test shooting score test post-test. (p<0.05). In conclusion, as a result of this study, it is seen that conditioning exercises in archery have an effect on aiming and shooting performance.
