The study involved 24 male volunteer athletes enrolled at Bayburt University who had at least six months of regular archery training history. Participants were divided into experimental and control groups; the experimental group underwent postural mobility exercises three days a week for eight weeks, while the control group continued only their routine archery training. Data collection included assessments of grip and squeeze strength, back-leg strength, shoulder proprioception, shoulder mobility, and TTA shooting performance. The findings showed that the experimental group achieved significant improvement in all parameters, while the control group showed only limited increases in shoulder mobility and archery performance (p < .05). In conclusion, adding TheraBand exercises to traditional training is recommended as an effective method for increasing archers' muscle strength, joint stability, and performance.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTraditional Turkish ArcheryProprioceptionMobilityStrengthThera BandArticle2829210110.62425/rses.17872352-s2.0-105044660961N/AWOS:001811431200002Q4
