Power spectral density and peak alpha frequency modulation related to the shooting process in archers.
Article in Experimental brain research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aiming in precision sports requires sustained cognitive engagement and fine neural coordination. This study examined changes in power spectral density (PSD) and peak alpha frequency (PAF) before, during, and after shooting in 20 archers. PSD was analyzed across theta, alpha, beta1, and beta2 frequency bands. During the shooting phase, PSD significantly increased in frontal and temporal regions, while decreasing in central and occipital areas. Notably, theta and beta1 activity in the frontal region (F3), and beta1–beta2 in the temporal region (T7–T8), increased up to the shooting phase and declined immediately prior to execution. In the central region (C3–C4), theta (C4) and alpha PSD decreased before and increased during shooting phase. In the occipital region (O1–O2), alpha PSD decreased pre-shot and increased during shooting phase, whereas beta2 followed an inverse pattern. Additionally, PAF values in temporal and occipital electrodes were significantly reduced in the post-shot resting state. These findings suggest that archery aiming stages are associated with enhanced cognitive control and focused attention, as reflected by neural oscillatory modulations. Additionally, the current study provides a new perspective on PAF values related to precision sports, emphasizing that PAF modulation based on mental and physical fatigue may yield different responses depending on the type of exercise.
