Fifteen students from the Nagoya University club, four graded archers and eleven with less experience, imagined their own shot with eyes closed and then watched a film of a master, with breathing recorded by a tube resting on the chest. In the graded archers the imagined shot ended with a slow exhalation of four or five seconds; watching the master, one of them stopped breathing in from just before the draw until zanshin, with a 14-second exhalation that was identical on all four shots in the film, and the authors extend the finding to the other graded archers in a single sentence. In the less experienced the breathing changed, markedly in seven of the eleven, but with no fixed timing or shape. The limitation lies in the conditions: nobody was actually shooting, there were four graded archers, the traces were compared by eye with no statistics, and the question has never been measured in recurve or compound.claim:respirazione-schema-fisso-esperti:revision:2026-06-06:2Sat, 06 Jun 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/technique/expert-archers-fixed-breathing-patternclaim:respirazione-schema-fisso-esperti:new_claim:2026-04-25:riportatoSat, 25 Apr 2026 08:00:00 GMT
