Abstract

Paralympic shooting, or para-shooting, is a rapidly developing discipline requiring precision, stability, and technical adaptation for athletes with physical disabilities. Despite its growing popularity, there is limited experimental research addressing the structured training of para-shooters. The present study aims to analyze integral components of para-shooting performance and evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week experimental program. Twenty athletes classified as SH1, SH2, and SH-VI participated in the intervention, which targeted stability of hold, aiming accuracy, trigger control, and aiming time. Performance was assessed with optoelectronic SCATT systems and biomechanical monitoring before and after the intervention. Results demonstrated significant improvements across all components (p < 0.05), with trigger control and stability showing the greatest progress. The findings highlight the importance of component-based training in enhancing technical readiness. Practical implications include individualized planning according to classification and systematic use of monitoring tools. This research contributes to developing evidence-based approaches in Paralympic shooting and expands opportunities for athlete inclusion and competitive excellence.
