https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/physical-training/elite-archer-training-hours Changes to this claim in Matteo Campagna's evidence registry: its status, its year-by-year history, revisions of the page. en-gb https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/physical-training/elite-archer-training-hoursThe three elite groups described in the registry are all above fifteen hours. Ten archers from a Malaysian national sports school, who compete at national level, have a programme of nine sessions and eighteen hours a week; eight French archers in the top twenty of the national ranking train about twenty-one hours; six world-class recurve archers from the Turkish national team reach thirty hours of shooting plus six in the gym. The largest data set sits right on the threshold: two hundred archers aged 13 to 20 at the European Youth Championships report 14.9 hours a week of training and competition, with a standard deviation of almost eight hours, so many fall below it. Below elite level the picture changes a great deal: in a Polish adult club archers shoot fewer than twice a week. These are still programme or self-reported figures, written into the sample description of studies that were about something else, on small selected groups, and nobody has logged the hours actually done. Nor does the threshold on its own tell the levels apart: a group of Iranian provincial archers already reports fourteen hours.claim:carico-allenamento-elite:revision:2026-06-12:2Fri, 12 Jun 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/physical-training/elite-archer-training-hoursclaim:carico-allenamento-elite:new_claim:2026-05-02:riportatoSat, 02 May 2026 08:00:00 GMT
