Sažetak

The aim of this research was to determine the influence of SOB (Special Operations Battalion) basic training on specific shooting tasks in conditions of sleep deprivation. The research was conducted on a sample of 19 members of the Croatian Armed Forces for Special Operations. A specific task of shooting was carried out in four different ways with regard to body position in relation to the target (Sector 1- 4). Shooting target was a head and chest silhouette. The paired-samples t-test has shown significant differences (p<0.05) in specific tasks of shooting before and after sleep deprivation. In addition, the results have shown that the SOB basic training had positive impact on the reduction of the effects of sleep deprivation in shooting tasks. The obtained data suggest that during the SOB basic training, adaptation to stress and improvement of the skills of handling weapons has occurred, contributing significantly to better shooting results in stressful conditions, primarily in terms of lack of sleep.
