In the first, from 2022, those who change distance gain 27.3 points on average and those who stay at one distance 15.5; in the second, from 2024, after eighteen sessions of 72 arrows over six weeks the fixed distance comes out ahead, 24.7 points against 14.5 for those alternating 10, 20 and 30 metres. The two results do not carry the same weight. The first appeared in a journal with questionable editorial standards, gives two different values of the statistical test for the same group and does not say at which distances the varied group trained or for how many sessions; in the second the final test was at 30 metres according to the methods and tables (the abstract says 40), the very distance at which the fixed group had shot all its arrows, so it also measures the advantage of training at the test distance. In both studies all twenty archers improve, and neither has a group carrying on with training as before. A third paper, with distances rising from 10 to 30 metres and then starting again, sees the score rise by about 50 points out of 180 in four weeks, but without a comparison it cannot say which scheme is better. The question is open.claim:distanza-variabile-precisione:revision:2026-07-25:2Sat, 25 Jul 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/technique/varied-distance-training-scoreclaim:distanza-variabile-precisione:new_claim:2026-06-27:contestatoSat, 27 Jun 2026 08:00:00 GMT
