To picture this, you can put yourself in the shoes of a person waiting for the bus, that is to say rather relaxed, both feet apart a reasonable distance and the body relaxed. Now that we have the overall idea we will move on to a more technical and specific aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your <strong>feet should be almost in alignment with the shoulders.<\/strong> This position is very economical for the body, it will allow you not to waste energy. Then you will position yourself at <strong>90 degrees to the target<\/strong>, still keeping the same alignment feet-shoulders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will then <strong>lift your arm and hook the thumb of your weak arm into your belt.<\/strong> At this time, you can operate <strong>a small retroversion of the pelvis <\/strong>(move the pelvis backwards) which will allow you to reduce the lumbar arch and thus facilitate your position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This settled position is essential because it is an undeniable source of stability. It will allow you to build your stability on bone stacking and not on muscle stress. <strong>The only muscle chain that has to work is the shoulder of your strong arm, without exerting an excessive contraction<\/strong>. Your weak arm will be very relaxed with your thumb still hooked into the belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your overall appearance should be shoulders, hips <g class=\"gr_ gr_7 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"7\" data-gr-id=\"7\">and<\/g> feet <g class=\"gr_ gr_8 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Style multiReplace\" id=\"8\" data-gr-id=\"8\">aligned .<\/g> All in <g class=\"gr_ gr_10 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"10\" data-gr-id=\"10\">all<\/g> you must have the sensation of a relaxed upper body and a tonic body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Criteria for <\/strong><g class=\"gr_ gr_9 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"9\" data-gr-id=\"9\"><strong>success<\/strong><\/g><strong> of the position:<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Increased stability<\/li><li>Repeatability<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to work on the position of the body to the target for shooting sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":926,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[55,7],"tags":[46,51,40,48,47,49,52],"class_list":["post-920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technical","category-uncategorized-en","tag-competition","tag-pistol","tag-position","tag-shooting-sport","tag-shooting-sports","tag-sports-shooting","tag-training"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportquantum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportquantum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportquantum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportquantum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportquantum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=920"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportquantum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":945,"href":"https:\/\/sportquantum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920\/revisions\/945"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportquantum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportquantum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportquantum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportquantum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
