This study investigated the most important factors determining biathlon prone shooting performance. 10 female and 16 male biathletes (age 19.9 ± 2.9 years) from the national teams of Finland and Vuokatti-Ruka Sports Academy performed 65 biathlon prone shooting shots without physical stress under laboratory conditions. Shooting performance and multiple aiming point trajectory variables were measured together with an analysis of triggering force. Based on the aiming point trajectory data principal component analysis, we identified four technical components in biathlon prone shooting: stability of hold, aiming accuracy, cleanness of triggering and timing of triggering. Multiple regression analysis further determined that cleanness of triggering, aiming accuracy and timing of triggering accounted for 80% of mean shooting performance (p < 0.001). Better stability of hold, aiming accuracy and cleanness of triggering were directly associated with better shooting performance (0.62 ≤ |r| ≥ 0.79, all p < 0.001). Better stability of hold measures were also associated with better cleanness of triggering, and higher pre-shot trigger force levels were associated with better stability of hold and cleanness of triggering. These results indicate that with both direct and indirect effects on performance, stability of hold seems to be a general prerequisite for successful biathlon shooting. The results also highlight the importance of aiming accuracy, cleanness and timing of triggering, along with a high pre-shot trigger force level. The variables identified in this study could be used to assess biathletes’ performance in the most relevant shooting technical aspects to guide the emphasis of their shooting training.

Aiming strategy affects performance-related factors in biathlon standing shooting
Köykkä, Miika; Ihalainen, Simo; Linnamo, Vesa; Ruotsalainen, Keijo; Häkkinen, Keijo; Laaksonen, Marko S. (Wiley, 2021)This study focused on investigating differences in shooting performance and performance related factors between two different aiming strategies (HOLD, low radial velocity during the approach 0.4‐0.2 seconds before triggering, ... -
Technical determinants of biathlon standing shooting performance before and after race simulation
Ihalainen, Simo; Laaksonen, Marko S.; Kuitunen, Sami; Leppävuori, Antti; Mikkola, Jussi; Lindinger, Stefan Josef; Linnamo, Vesa (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2018)The aim of this study was to identify performance- determining factors in biathlon standing shooting in rest and after intense exercise. Eight Finnish national- and nine junior- team biathletes participated in the study. ... -
Technical determinants of competitive rifle shooting performance
Ihalainen, Simo (University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The purpose of this thesis was to identify technical determinants of elite level air rifle and biathlon standing shooting performance and investigate how these technical determinants are affected by training, competition ... -
Biathlon standing shooting performance, shooting technical components and postural balance at rest and during a race simulation
Köykkä, Miika (2018)Stability of hold and postural balance have been reported to be related to standing shooting performance, and to differentiate between different experience levels of biathletes. Recently, ability to minimize the movement ... -
Rifle and aiming point accelerations do not differ between the most and least accurate shots in biathlon shooting within an athlete
Köykkä, Miika; Linnamo, Vesa; Ruotsalainen, Keijo; Rantalainen, Timo; Laaksonen, Marko S. (Sciendo, 2023)Study aim: As studies from shooting disciplines other than biathlon have observed associations between weapon accelerations and shooting performance, this study investigated whether accelerations of the rifle stock and ...
