Abstract
Physical variables and functional indicators are among the most important attributes required in fencing, as fencers compete in several events in the same day. This demands high endurance to repeatedly perform both offensive and defensive skills, ensuring they can continue competing efficiently without feeling fatigued or experiencing a decline in performance. Therefore, the aim of the research was to explore the effect of endurance training at different time intervals (30 seconds and 60 seconds) on some physical variables and functional indicators in female fencers. The experimental method was applied to a sample of 12 female fencers from the Baghdad Fencing Club. The sample was randomly divided into two groups, with the first experimental group (6 fencers) using endurance training at 30 seconds, and the second experimental group (6 fencers) using endurance training at 60 seconds. After ensuring homogeneity and equivalency in pre-tests, a training program was developed using endurance exercises for both time intervals. The first group applied exercises with a 30-second duration, while the second group applied exercises with a 60-second duration. After completing the training program, post-tests were conducted, and the results were statistically analyzed using the SPSS system. The researcher concluded that endurance training at different time intervals positively impacted the development of some physical variables and functional indicators in female fencers. Additionally, there were significant differences between the 30-second and 60-second endurance training in developing some physical variables and functional indicators, with the 60-second group showing better results. Therefore, it is recommended to use endurance training with varying time intervals to improve the physical variables and functional indicators of female fencers.
