Abstract
This study examines that does training volume affect the quality of life, emotional intelligence, and performance of shooting athletes with physical disabilities? Ninety participants were randomly assigned to three groups based on weekly shooting durations of 2, 4, and 6 hours, maintaining a 1:1 female-tomale ratio until the total sample size reached 90 (30 per group). Quality of life, emotional intelligence, and performance were measured using the WHOQOL-BREF, SSEIT, and the Navak analysis system with an electronic scoreboard, respectively. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient identified positive correlations between shooting hours and the variables. However, the Tukeys-b test revealed no significant difference between groups 2 and 3 for EI except for the Uncategorized subscale. One-Way ANOVA revealed significant differences between the groups, with more practice hours leading to better outcomes. The study concludes that increased air pistol shooting practice can enhance quality of life, emotional intelligence, and performance in young individuals with physical disabilities.
