Abstract

The correct trigger pull is one of the factors that significantly affect shooting results. DAid smart finger/glove prototype with integrated highly sensitive textile pressure sensors was proposed recently to offer a cost-effective solution for the recognition of trigger pull errors. The motivation of the present study is the further elaboration of data processing methods to enable the use of this device for the classification of trigger pull errors. Aim: Develop a simple and undemanding method for recognition of the trigger pull error type in sport shooting using smart fingers/gloves as a sensing device. Novelty: An original new method for recognition of the type of trigger pull errors is proposed. The method uses data obtained with the DAid smart finger/glove system. Main results: Critical parameters of the trigger pull process were selected. The reference confidence intervals (P = 0.99) that characterize correct pull movements were determined for these parameters. Reference intervals were used for the recognition of the type of error. The method was verified by a professional shooter, simulating typical novices’ errors during trigger pull. The sensitivity and specificity of the error detection in this limited study were about 82% and 100%, correspondingly. ConclusionThe DAid smart finger/glove device, combined with the developed method for determining the trigger pull error, could provide reliable and objective data on the triggering process, that may be used as an effective tool to improve the effectiveness of training for shooters.
