Agility and accuracy and their relationship to the level of skill performance sword weapon in fencing

Abstract

The sport of fencing requires speed in kinetic performance on the court and continuous movement between advance, retreat, attack, and defense movements. Therefore, the player must have the ability to continue coordinated muscle work with complete compatibility between body movements and technical movements using the hand and leg constantly and an estimate of the distance of the fencing and the speed of the attack towards the opponent suddenly. With effort and muscular strength, it sets off in one go, at the highest speed and in the shortest time, to reach the opponent’s legal goal by the closest and shortest path, with extreme precision, to score a touch. In order to reach advanced results in the sport of fencing for women, we, as workers in this sport, must stand at the basic determinants that are important in the sport of fencing, which every female player possesses, especially in weapon sword fencing, which can be developed according to the correct scientific foundations, so the two researchers decided, and through their follow-up For the sport of fencing and learning about what is new and modern in this ancient sport, highlighting some of the special abilities (such as agility and accuracy) that greatly influence the level of skill performance with the weapon sword fencing in particular and fencing in general, so the two researchers used the descriptive approach in order to suit it and the subject of the study. As for the research sample, it was female athletes. The College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences team for girls, numbering (16) players for the sports season (2023-2024). The most important conclusions were (the existence of a positive correlation between the characteristics of agility and accuracy and the level of skill performance in fencing with a sword). Among the most important recommendations that the researchers came out with was the need to pay attention to Trainers accept the abilities specific to fencing, especially the qualities of agility and accuracy, with the need to shed light on the level of skill performance in fencing, as it is the important focus in deciding the results of fights. For the benefit of the best fencer, it is also best to conduct similar studies on other kinetic qualities and abilities and for different age groups.
