Abstract
A fencing player requires fundamental prerequisites to perform each skill in the sport according to its specific demands. In observing movements such as advancing, retreating, attacking, and even defending, it is evident that the athlete especially depends on motor speed to execute these actions—particularly because these are the main offensive techniques used to score points and determine the outcome of bouts. However, there is a noticeable weakness in the execution of skills that demand speed, despite their importance in scoring. The researcher attributes this deficiency to a lack of development in the physical components that support these skills. Therefore, the study aims to identify and compare certain types of speed—namely, court movement speed, lunge speed, motor response speed, and the motor speed of the armed arm—between the two research groups (Arab Saber and Epee). The hypothesis of the study suggests that there are statistically significant differences in some types of speed among the participants. The researcher concluded that differences in test results between the two groups were random. Based on these conclusions, the researcher provides several recommendations.
