Abstract

In the aiming strategy framework, biathletes are classified based on their target approach behaviour. Some biathletes use a hold strategy, where they stabilise their aim inside the hit area for a short hold period after having approached the target. In contrast, others use a timing strategy, where they approach the target straightforwardly and pull the trigger while the aim is still moving toward the centre, without fully stabilising the aim.
