First, we measured the tremor during side bridges performed with trunk inclinations of 25\u00b0, 40\u00b0, 55\u00b0, and 70\u00b0 using an accelerometer attached to the elbow joint and identified low-tremor side bridges. The participants were then randomly divided into intervention and non-intervention groups, and the low-tremor side bridges were performed for 4 weeks.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The effect of the intervention was determined by measuring the total tremor value using an accelerometer attached to the bow and changes in the median power frequency (MdPF) of the middle deltoid, upper trapezius, and lower trapezius. This intervention reduced the bow tremor and the median power frequency of the middle deltoid (p &lt; 0.05).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec005\">\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The findings suggested that the tremor during the archery sighting phase could be reduced by performing side bridges with a specific trunk angle for a certain period of time. This intervention was also shown to reduce the intermediate frequency of the middle deltoid. The reduced tremor can shorten the sighting phase, which can facilitate injury prevention.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0285223","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,1]],"date-time":"2023-05-01T17:25:02Z","timestamp":1682961902000},"page":"e0285223","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Effect of exercise devised to reduce arm tremor in the sighting phase of archery"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8290-506X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Shinohara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryota","family":"Hosomi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryuji","family":"Sakamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toshiya","family":"Urushihata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shione","family":"Yamamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chikashi","family":"Higa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shinpei","family":"Oyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"pone.0285223.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"163","DOI":"10.1080\/08990220701637216","article-title":"Cognitive processing and motor skill learning in motor-handicapped teenagers: effects of learning method.","volume":"24","author":"D Deviterne","year":"2007","journal-title":"Somatosens Mot Res"},{"issue":"5","key":"pone.0285223.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1211","DOI":"10.1519\/JSC.0000000000000687","article-title":"The relative importance of performance factors in Korean archery.","volume":"29","author":"HB Kim","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Strength Cond Res"},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0285223.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"207","DOI":"10.1080\/02640410701446919","article-title":"State anxiety and visual attention: the role of the quiet eye period in aiming to a far target.","volume":"26","author":"M Behan","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Sports Sci"},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0285223.ref004","first-page":"169","article-title":"Emotions, heart rate and performance in archery.
