Abstract

The significance of this research lies in the use of targeted and varied exercises aimed at developing specific motor abilities, particularly reaction speed. Enhancing this ability contributes directly to improving skill performance in the sport of fencing. This is especially important during this developmental stage, as it marks a critical period for the maturation of both the body and the nervous system. At this age, physical and motor capabilities begin to reach full development. Moreover, the refinement of such abilities requires a well-functioning nervous system, which must be trained through carefully timed and appropriately designed exercises. These exercises should incorporate elements of novelty and stimulation to effectively achieve the developmental objectives appropriate for this important age group. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of the proposed exercises on developing motor reaction speed among foil fencers aged 10 to 12 years. The research population consisted of athletes from the Iraqi Central Fencing Federation located in Baghdad, within the Youth and Sports Ministry Complex. The sample was intentionally selected and included 16 foil fencers within the specified age group. The sample was then divided into two equal groups: an experimental group and a control group, with eight participants in each. Homogeneity within the research sample was verified, in addition to ensuring the equivalence of the experimental and control groups. and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Quality Education).
