Abstract
Fencing is an international and Olympic sport that requires physical, social, psychological, and educational demands. It is practiced according to organized rules and regulations that govern the competition between fencers. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of specific exercises on the development of certain visual abilities in the sample, as well as to examine how these exercises impact the learning of some offensive skills in the sample. The study also aimed to determine the learning progress of the variables under investigation. The hypotheses of the study proposed that there would be a positive effect of the teaching method used by the instructor on the development of visual abilities and the learning of offensive skills in the sample. Additionally, the study hypothesized that there would be a positive effect of visual exercises on the development of visual abilities and skill learning in the experimental group, and that there would be statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups in post-test results, favoring the experimental group. The study was conducted with a sample of 36 third-year students at the College of Physical Education, University of Al-Muthanna, and the experiment took place in the college's halls and playgrounds. The theoretical section discussed fencing, its requirements, the importance of visual abilities in learning and performance in fencing, as well as specific visual exercises and skill evaluation methods. The study also compared similar research by Ghsoon Natiq Abdelhamid, discussing similarities and differences. The third chapter outlined the research methodology, selecting the experimental approach due to its suitability for the problem. It described the use of various equipment and tools and explained the tests used, followed by statistical analysis through the SPSS system. The fourth chapter presented and analyzed the results in tables and graphs, followed by a scientific discussion. In the fifth chapter, the researchers concluded that there was significant development in the visual abilities and learning of offensive skills for both the experimental and control groups. The experimental group outperformed the control group in both visual abilities and the learning of offensive movements. The study recommended emphasizing visual exercises as a foundation for success in fencing competitions and promoting the development of visual abilities linked to the player's movement performance.
