Forty sub-elite archers from East Java, aged 14 to 20, were randomly split into four groups of ten for twelve weeks: three shot at 20, 50 or 70 m under a fixed protocol, 108 arrows a session and no more than ten seconds per arrow, while the fourth kept to its usual training, also at 70 m. The fatigue index in a repeated-sprint test falls at 50 m (from 3.29 to 1.68) and at 70 m (from 4.84 to 2.95), while it does not change significantly at 20 m or in the usual-training group, and the differences between the three protocol distances are not significant. The archers who shot at 70 m without the protocol did not improve, so distance alone is not enough, and in any case a running sprint is not the ability to hold a score over the last ends of a competition.claim:distanze-lunghe-resistenza:revision:2026-04-17:2Fri, 17 Apr 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/physical-training/long-distance-training-fatigue-resistanceclaim:distanze-lunghe-resistenza:new_claim:2026-03-12:contestatoThu, 12 Mar 2026 08:00:00 GMT
