About this trial
This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the acute effects of a single session of core stabilization exercises on balance and upper extremity functional performance in competitive archers. Core stability is essential for postural control, neuromuscular coordination, and efficient force transfer during archery shooting. Understanding the immediate effects of core stabilization exercises may support their use as an effective warm-up and performance-enhancing strategy in archery athletes.
