regular meditation training for the experimental
group. The experience of tension
during the test shootings was selfrecorded
on a visual analogue scale (VAS).
Results-The competition results in the
outdoor season (1993), just after the meditation
training period, compared with the
results the previous season (1992), were
better in the meditation group (P < 0.05).
No significant difference between the
groups was observed in the test shootings
before and after the relaxation intervention.
