Forearm electromyographic (EMG) data are assumed to be an effective method in estimating performance level in archery. The aim of the current study was to establish archery skill indexes based on EMG data. Elite (n = 7, FITA score = 1303.4 +/- 26.2), beginner (n = 6, FITA score = 1152 +/- 9.0) and non-archers (n = 10, assumed FITA score = 250 +/- 0), were involved in the study. EMG activity of Muscle flexor digitorum superficialis and Muscle extensor digitorum were quantified. Two-second periods - 1 s before and I s after the fall of the clicker - were used to obtain averaged and rectified EMG data. The averaged and rectified EMG data were filtered by averaging finite impulse response filter with 40 ms time window and then normalized with respect to maximum voluntary contraction. To estimate FITA scores from EMG data, the following skill indexes that based on mean area under some parts of processed EMG waveforms was offered for archery. These were the pre-clicker archery skill index (PreCASI), post-clicker archery skill index (PostCASI), archery skill index (ASI) and post-clicker archery skill index 2 (PostCASI2).The correlations between rank of FITA scores and natural logarithms of archery skill indexes were significant for log(PreCASI): r = -0.66, p < 0.0008; for log(PostCASI): r = -0.70, p < 0.0003; for log(ASI): r = -0.74, p < 0.0001; log(PostCASI2): r = -0.63, p < 0.002. It is concluded that EMG skill indexes may be useful for: (a) assessing shooting techniques, (b) evaluation of archers' progress and (c) selection of talented archers.

Activation patterns in forearm muscles during archery shooting
Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Tümer, Sami Turgut; Korkusuz, F (2003-02-01)
A contraction and relaxation strategy with regard to forearm muscles during the release of the bowstring has often been observed during archery, but has not well been described. The purpose of this study was to analyze this strategy in archers with different levels of expertise; elite, beginner and non-archers. Electromyography (EMG) activity of the M. flexor digitorum superficialis and the M. extensor digitorum were recorded at a sampling frequency of 500 Hz, together with a pulse synchronized with the cli...
Reliability and validity testing of an archery chronometer
Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Tümer, Sami Turgut (2005-06-01)
Keeping the arrow velocity constant during consecutive shots and responding to "clicker's fall" are considered to be an important feature of archery performance. A specially designed device called an archery chronometer was developed to measure the reaction time of an archer to clicker's fall, arrow velocity, and external factors that may affect arrow velocity. The purposes of this study were to test ( 1) the validity of Clicker Reaction Time (CRT) measurer, and ( 2) the reliability of CRT in accordance wit...
Consideration of spatial variation of the length scale parameter in static and dynamic analyses of functionally graded annular and circular micro-plates
Eshraghi, Iman; Dağ, Serkan; Soltani, Nasser (2015-09-01)
This article introduces new methods for static and free vibration analyses of functionally graded annular and circular micro-plates, which can take into account spatial variation of the length scale parameter. The underlying higher order continuum theory behind the proposed approaches is the modified couple stress theory. A unified way of expressing the displacement field is adopted so as to produce numerical results for three different plate theories, which are Kirchhoff plate theory (KPT), Mindlin plate t...
Numerical studies on eccentrically braced frames
Kuşyılmaz, Ahmet; Topkaya, Cem; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
Numerical studies were performed on eccentrically steel braced frames to ascertain seismic performance factors and to examine dynamic characteristics of eccentrically braced frames (EBF). Pursuant to this goal a computer program which facilitates EBF designs was developed. In the first phase, the approximate period formula given in ASCE7-10 was evaluated and a technique based on global deformation characteristics was developed to improve the fundamental period estimates for EBFs. The results indicate that t...
Prediction of forming limit curve at fracture for sheet metal using new ductile fracture criterion
Dizaji, Shahram Abbasnejad; Darendeliler, Haluk; KAFTANOĞLU, BİLGİN (Elsevier BV, 2018-05-01)
The application of ductile fracture criteria (DFCs) in numerical analysis of sheet metal forming processes can lead to the accurate determination of the fracture initiation. In this study, a new uncoupled ductile fracture criterion (DFC) has been developed which considers the effects of material parameters on the forming limit curves (FLCs) and can be easily implemented in the finite element codes. Two different constitutive models have been employed with the new DFC in order to evaluate the results obtaine...
