Master's thesis of Applied Science: Influence of pre-cooling garments on elite pistol shooting performance

In international pistol shooting competition the performance improvement needed to be able to move into a medal winning position in a final from fourth position is 1.5 points (Bedford et al., 2012). It may be expected therefore, that by providing a method of reducing tremor resulting in a corresponding performance improvement.
