ABSTRACT Introduction: There is a correlation between competition performance with a concentration in competitive archery athletes. It is an essential theme in academia to improve the performance of archers, the belief that this goal can be achieved by increasing their concentration. Studies on concentration and relaxation in archery training have shown effective indicators to evaluate training intensity and athlete cognition, but there is still no scientific consensus. Objective: This study aims to analyze the impact of concentration on traditional archery and athlete performance during competition. Methods: Twenty traditional archers were selected as research volunteers. They underwent a battery of biometric tests, including an EEG system to perform group tests. A chi-square test was performed on concentration and relaxation data. The results were analyzed according to the influence of the above two factors on the athletes’ performance. In parallel, this paper analyzed the relationship between the degree of relaxation and the archers’ performance. Results: There was a positive correlation between concentration and performance. More focused athletes perform better. The data were statistically significant (P<0.05). There is a positive correlation between relaxation and performance. The data were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this article provide evidence that both concentration and relaxation can help improve archer performance.
