Abstract

Teaching marksmanship to beginners in biathlon is extremely difficult. The usage of SCATT shooting simulator system, its software and shooting parameters interpretation are under consideration. Methods. A group of 12 well-trained young biathletes (6 males and 6 females), 14-19 years old, with 3-5 years of training experience in skiing and biathlon were recruited as participants. Every athlete had 0.5 hours of SCATT-shooting 3 times per week. Each athlete’s shooting parameters were measured on the 1st, 10th, 18th and 21st days of our experiment. Results. Novices in shooting decreased the average aiming trajectory length “L” from 434 ± 39 mm to 370 ± 65 mm and improved the graph “Coordination” line and its location within the target zone in biathlon standing shooting. The average shooting “Result” was 4.5±1.08 in novices (enough for biathlon standing shooting). All young biathletes with 3-5 years of shooting experience corrected the shooting aiming errors. The dynamics of “L” is individual and too dependent on the athlete’s fatigue degree.
