Dominance congruence and its effect on sports performance in archers
Dominance has been defined as any sort of priority, or preference by one member of any bilateral pair of structure in the body, such as hands, legs, and cerebral hemispheres. Dominant eye is the one that is primarily relied on for precise positional information. This may be particularly important in sports which require aim, such as Archery.This study aimed to determine the relationship between dominance congruence and archery routine (binocular or monocular aiming) and the effect of routine in sports performance.
This cross sectional study was performed in Farabi Eye Hospital in Tehran City (Iran). Due to the limited number of the federation members all of the archery federation were invited to take part in the research in case some were unwilling to participate. The chi-square test was used to determine relationship between dominance congruence and archery routine and the effect of routine in sports performance.
Finally, we were able to evaluate 57 archers. There was significant relationship between dominance congruence and binocular aiming (p < 0.01) and also binocular aiming and sports performance (P < 0.05)
dominance congruence has benefits for athletes in this sport and increases the chance of aiming in binocular way. Dominant eye examination is taken into consideration in many studies but less attention has been to dominance congruence that can help guide an athlete towards better performance.
