Tele-Exercise for Male Elite Fencers

Sahmyook University24 enrolled

Overview

Tele-exercise has been used to enhance athletic performance among athletes. Physical performance indicators such as lunge distance, speed, reaction time, coordination, and balance control during stationary jumps can be used to measure the effectiveness of tele-exercise programs for fencing athletes. The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of tele-exercise programs on lunge distance, speed, reaction time, coordination, and balance control during stationary jumps among male elite fencers.

Interventions

Tele-exercise programOTHER

The tele-exercise program focused on lunge movement with additional strengthening abdominal and lumbopelvic muscle training while maintaining neuromuscular control. The difficulty of training was adjusted every week according to the five-step mastery program

Conventional Fencing ExerciseOTHER

The conventional exercise was based on 'displacement', a basic footwork training in fencing. The Displacement is also basic footwork to approach the opponent. The Displacement consisted of seven movements including 'Marche', 'Retraite \& Rompre', 'Passe avant', 'Passe arrière', 'Bond en avant', 'Bond en arrière', and 'Balestra'.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Lunge speed

Speed to perform a single lunge is one of the essential physical ability for fencing athletes.

Time frame: changes from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks

Lunge distance

Distance travelled to perform a single lunge is one of the essential physical ability for fencing athletes.

Time frame: changes from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks

Reaction time

Reaction time is one of the essential physical ability for fencing athletes that can be measured by the time required to move when subject hear a signal

Time frame: changes from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Accurate repeatability of stationary hops

The distances between repeated hops can evaluate coordination and balance control

Time frame: changes from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks
