Static and dynamic balancing and gait training in shooters leading to a better efficacy: A prospective study

Author(s): Dr. Aditya Narula, Dr. Digpal Ranawat and Dr. Manit Arora
Abstract: 
Shooting is a sport of precision that requires balance, and due to the repetitive nature of the sport it needs high endurance as well. Although it is static sport injuries may be experienced from doing the same thing over and over again, thus putting a toll on the body physically.
Interventions provided by orthopaedicians /physiotherapist can be very beneficial for a shooting athlete. Postural alignment, flexibility, strength, postural stability, biomechanics and the evaluation and treatment of acute and chronic musculoskeletal impairments are important considerations to a high performance in sports shooting.
Postural alignment and gait analysis is very important. A misalignment of the foot and ankle can cause injury of the ankle, shin, knee, hip, and lower back.
In our study at Abhinav Bindra Targeting Performance we have taken into consideration the professional shooters on which gait assessment was done before and after the training session. This study will help us know the benefits of training a specific group of muscles for strengthening and improves the efficacy of the athlete.
