SUNNAH SPORTS (ARCHERY)

Archery has a number of physical, social and mental well-being aspects to it:

Physical Benefits: Upper Body Strength: Drawing a bow string places stress on the muscles of arms as well as the chest, shoulders and back. With repetition, the stress of drawing and firing a bow leads to muscle development in most of the major muscle groups of the upper body.

 Balance: Balance is vital to success in archery as you have to be able to hold your body still while aiming and making a shot. Practicing archery helps you to gain control over your balance as you focus on trying to hit the centre of the targets you shoot at.

 Co-ordination: Hand-eye coordination is an essential skill for archery. Archery trains your hands to work together while performing different tasks, aiming and firing your arrow based on input from your eyes. Social and Mental Wellbeing Benefits:

Mental Focus: Focus is important to success as an archer, and developing focus can have a positive impact on your mental health and wellbeing. The more focused you are on your target the easier it will be for you to clear your mind. These same skills will help you to deal with stress and clear your mind of worry when you're away from the archery range and will help you to remain more focused on tasks as well. The focus you learn from archery may even help you to overcome procrastination and distraction. Teaches importance of safety Improves one’s self-confidence
