This study investigated the effect of a single hypnosis intervention on shooting performance in a 10-meter air rifle competition. Eight shooting athletes from the Swiss national team participated in the experiment; an A-B-A single case study design was used, with 2 baseline measurements. The results suggest that for 3 athletes the hypnosis intervention had a small positive effect on their performance compared to all other measurements, 6 subjects had small improvements compared to 1 baseline measurement, and 2 subjects had a performance decrease. Data from the participants’ subjective rating of the intervention effect and their satisfaction with it demonstrated feasibility and that all subjects experienced the hypnosis intervention as positive. Moreover, they commented that they felt calmer and more focused and self-confident when they began the competition. Therefore, it seems promising for shooting athletes to learn how to integrate hypnosis into their training regimens, but additional research is needed.

这项研究调查了一次催眠干预对10米气步枪比赛中射击性能的影响。来自瑞士国家队的八名射击运动员参加了实验。使用ABA单一案例研究设计，具有2个基线测量值。结果表明，与所有其他测量相比，催眠干预对3名运动员的表现有较小的积极影响，与1项基线测量相比，有6名受试者的表现有所改善，而2名受试者的表现有所下降。参与者对干预效果的主观评价及其满意程度的数据证明了可行性，并且所有受试者均将催眠干预视为阳性。此外，他们评论说，当他们开始比赛时，他们会感到更加镇定，专注和自信。因此，对于射击运动员来说，学习如何将催眠术融入他们的训练方案中似乎很有希望，但是还需要进一步的研究。
