ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Fascial Anthropometry in Archery Athletes," is focused on understanding how the facial measurements of archers may relate to their sports performance. The researchers want to explore how the shape and size of an athlete's face could affect their success in archery, particularly since their equipment comes into contact with their facial area. This study is important because, to date, no research has looked into this specific aspect of archery.

If you're between the ages of 9 and 18 and have been practicing archery at least twice a week for the past two years, you might be eligible to participate in this study. However, certain conditions may exclude you, such as recent surgeries on your spine or upper body, scoliosis, or other health issues affecting your upper body. Participants in this trial will be asked to volunteer and will contribute to new insights that could help improve training and performance for young archers. This study is not yet recruiting, so keep an eye out for updates if you’re interested!
