Progress Of Shooting Efficiency Of Elite Biathletes

Vol.8,No.1(2014)

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the progress of shooting efficiency of elite biathletes from fifteen years ago. Shooting efficiency was computed as a proportion of hit targets and number of fired cartridges during all races of the World Cup. Values of shooting efficiency in each season were averaged and compared together. It was not possible to characterise the shooting efficiency of men by any trend which can describe progress of shooting efficiency. In women category it was recorded progress of shooting efficiency apart from the three past seasons. Most medalists achieved the values of shooting efficiency of about 84 – 85. Some biathletes were able win with lower shooting efficiency due to excellent cross country skiing performance. The average of the best three women biathletes encompassed a higher shooting efficiency than the best three biathletes. Shooting and physical performance of the average ten elite men as more even than for women, probably it is the reason why biathletes have to shorten shooting velocity. Finally, it can lead to decrease of shooting efficiency.
