Abstract

This study examines how biofeedback training affects athletes' HRV, emotional states, and shooting performance. Findings reveal substantial improvements in HRV indices (p < 0.05) and reductions in negative emotions such as tension and anger (p < 0.05). There were increases in vitality and positivity, although changes in fatigue and self-emotional state were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Shooting performance showed significant enhancement following the training (p < 0.01). These results indicate that biofeedback training positively influences autonomic nervous system function, emotional stability, and shooting performance. By enhancing HRV, improving mood states, biofeedback training markedly improves shooting performance.
