“…The scientific literature on fencing is scarce (Aquili et al, 2013;Roi, & Bianchedi, 2008;Turner et al, 2013), and despite the importance of decision-making in this sport, very few studies have focused on tactical behaviors (Iglesias, Gasset, González-Prado, & Anguera, 2010;Tarragó et al, 2015).…”

Título: Análisis de las relaciones diacrónicas en los comportamientos de éxito y fracaso de campeones del mundo de esgrima utilizando tres técnicas complementarias. Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar las posibles relaciones diacrónicas en las conductas de éxito y fracaso en campeones del mundo de esgrima desde tres técnicas analíticas complementarias: detección de Tpatterns, análisis secuencial de retardos y análisis de coordenadas polares. Se utilizó un diseño observacional nomotético, puntual y multidimensional en el registro de 24 asaltos de los seis esgrimistas campeones del mundo de 2014. Se utilizó como instrumento de registro el software LINCE. Los resultados revelaron una serie de comportamientos que estaban estadísticamente asociados con la mejora del rendimiento deportivo y también se identificaron acciones que contribuyeron a empeorarlo. Una de las principales conclusiones que pueden extraerse de este estudio es que el uso de estas técni-cas complementarias de análisis es perfectamente factible y tiene un gran potencial en el ámbito del deporte. El análisis secuencial en el retardo 0 (coocurrencias) y de las configuraciones básicas de los T-patterns proporcionan conocimientos tácticos sobre las diferentes acciones de esgrima empleadas. Este análisis se produce en el marco de la interacción entre las técnicas ejecutadas por cada tirador y su rival en cada acción del asalto. El análisis secuencial en los retardos -1 a -5 y +1 a +5, las agrupaciones de clusters de los T-patterns y el análisis de coordenadas polares contribuyen al análisis de la estrategia de combate. En este caso, se observaron cómo las conductas prospectivas y retrospectivas determinaron la consolidación o modificación de ciertos comportamientos durante cada asalto, con el fin de mejorar la eficacia de las acciones realizadas a lo largo de toda la competición. Palabras clave: Táctica; análisis secuencial de retardos; coordenadas polares; T-patterns; metodología observacional; esgrima. Abstract:The aim of this study was to investigate diachronic relationships in successful and unsuccessful behaviors by world fencing champions using three complementary techniques: T-pattern analysis, lag sequential analysis, and polar coordinate analysis. We employed a nomothetic, point, multidimensional observational design in which we analyzed 24 bouts fenced by six world fencing champions in 2014. The actions were recorded and coded using LINCE software. The results revealed a series of behaviors that were significantly associated with successful outcomes, and also identified actions that contributed to poorer performance. One key conclusion to be drawn from the study is that the use of these complementary techniques is perfectly feasible and holds great potential in the field of sport. Lag sequential analysis of occurrences at lag 0 (co-occurrences) and analysis of basic T-patterns provided tactical insights into the different fencing actions employed. This analysis is focused on the actions and reactions of each fencer and his rival ...

“…Testing procedures for performing squat Jump (sJ), Countermovement Jump (CMJ), Drop jump from 40 cm (DJ) and the derived indexes (rsI) of each test have been previously reported elsewhere (26). Interclass coefficients of variation (ICC) for sJ, CMJ, and DJ, were 0.96, 0.95, 0.90 (p<0.001), respectively.…”

“…Fencing is an intense intermittent sport demanding the execution of highly controlled, explosive movements aiming to hit the opponent (26). During competition, fencers need to react at the right moment, by repeating accurate defensive and offensive kinetic patterns in different directions, requiring considerable activation of the neuromuscular system (1).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate sport specific correlates of fencing performance, in both young male and female fencers. all assessments (anthropometry, arm strength, leg power, flexibility, fencing movement reaction times in visual stimuli velocity of arm extension, lunge velocity, step and lunge velocity and fencing specific agility test) were conducted on 9 males and 13 female young fencers 13.4±0.85 years old (mean age ± standard deviation). relationships were examined by calculating Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient (r). a stepwise multiple linear regression was used to identify the best predictors of fencing performance. Females were found to have more body fat and higher BMI values compared to males. Males outperformed females in all leg power tests, while females were more flexible than males. Moreover males were faster in arm velocity, step-lunge velocity and change of direction velocity compared to females. anthropometric parameters were not correlated to fencing performance. long jump and squat jump were

The subject of balance in fencing does not benefit from vast research, due to complexity of the movements that are involved. The aims of our paper were to evaluate the static balance in 11-13 years old fencers and to find out if physical fitness or anthropometric variables can be correlated with postural balance. Our study comprised 13 healthy subjects; they were tested for balance on standing position and fencing position, with eyes both closed and open, and for physical fitness characteristics on agility, flexibility and strength. The data were statistically analyzed using the paired samples t-test and Pearson correlation in the SPSS version 20.0 for Windows. The differences were considered significant if the p value was below 0.05. The comparison of the results indicated a better stability with open eyes and statistical difference between keeping the eyes open and closed in the mediolateral movement of the centre of pressure. Correlation analysis showed that anthropometric variables, such as weight and body mass index, influence balance as speed, leg strength and abdominal strength. These relationships may influence the training program in order to develop the body balance at this level.
