Abstract

Optoelectronic shooting training systems are used in shooting training sites to improve the accuracy of shooting by tracking the trajectories of gun movements. However, optoelectronic-based systems have limitations in terms of cost, complexity of installation, and the risk that electronic targets may be broken. In this study, we developed and verified a shooting training system that measures postural tremors using a low-cost accelerometer. The acceleration sensor module was designed to be attached to the air cylinder of a gun. Postural tremors were evaluated based on amplitude, frequency, and spatial pattern index, which were computed using acceleration data. The postural tremor indices between the accelerometer and optoelectronic-based system were highly correlated (left-right and up-down directions: r = 0.76 and r = 0.70, respectively). We validated the developed shooting training system using an independent two-sample t-test, which identified a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the calculated postural tremor index according to the athlete's shooting score (i.e., best and worst shots).

거총부터 격발까지 총구 움직임의 궤적을 추적하여, 사격의 정확성을 향상시킬 목적으로 광전자 기반 사격 훈련 시스템이 사격 훈련 현장에서 활용되어 왔다. 광전자 기반 시스템은 설치가 복잡하고, 표적의 파손 위험이 존재하며, 고가의 장비로 선수들의 접근성이 떨어진다는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구는 저비용의 가속도 센서 모듈을 이용하여 체위 떨림을 측정하고 피드백할 수 있는 사격 훈련 시스템을 개발하고, 이의 활용성을 검증하였다. 가속도 센서 모듈은 총기의 에어 실린더에 부착할 수 있도록 제작되었다. 체위 떨림은 가속도 센서 데이터를 이용하여 진폭, 주파수, 공간적 패턴 지표로서 분석되었다. 가속도 센서와 기존의 광전자 기반 시스템에서 측정된 사격시 체위 떨림 진폭 지표 간에는 높은 상관관계(좌우 방향: r=0.76; 상하 방향: r=0.70)가 나타났다. 또한, 사격 선수를 대상으로 진행한 시스템의 유효성 평가에서는 선수의 사격 점수(최상, 최하 격발)에 따라 계산된 체위 떨림 지표가 유의한 차이(p<0.05)가 있음을 독립 표본 t-검증을 이용하여 검증하였다.
