The purpose of this study was to develop a computer program to process effectively the information generated about the performance of archery athletes in an attempt to help coaches improve the performance of the archers.

After consulting the archers and coaches, 30 variables, which are related to an archer`s skills, physique, psychology, and the equipment used, were selected as independent variables with performance records as dependent variables. The collected raw data on these factors and records were processed and a system to record the output in terms of statistical analysis and graphic processes was developed.

The system, in which programs are written by a turbo C version 2.0, was constructed with a menu-driven method and operated on an IBM-PC compatible model. The implemented system has a pull-down menu by which the user can easily operate the system to get the output he needs. The main menu involves four subdivided menus-the system, data input informational retrieval, and output. All the menus have their own submenus to make them easier to use, For example, the system menu has a pull-down submena which helps the user in operation: help, exit to DOS, and quit.

The user can utilize informafion retrieval techniques in selecting the corresponding submenu or information that was processed statistically/graphically from the raw data such as trend graphs, scatter diagrams, regressions, etc. In consideration of extensibility, the system programs were modulated into processing units. If required, and additional operation can be applied to the system.

The benefits obtained from this system are as follows:

1. All the output data in archery can be stored and used by a simple operation on the computer.

2. The coach and archer can easily analyze the trend of changes in records.
