This study was aimed at carrying out an association study of the chosen kinematic variables in the fencing lunge and the corresponding time of this movement in young athletes. The research design used was quantitative descriptive-correlational study to gather biomechanical data on ten, age (15-17 years old) national ranked male fencers. There was a use of high-speed recordings, and three main variables were analyzed, including hip angle (preparatory phase), elbow angle (terminal phase), and ankle elevation (transition phase). Each variable was found to have negative relationships with total lunge time (p 3). The more a hip was extended and the higher the elbow reach and ankle elevation, the shorter the lunge. Among the three variables, the strongest correlation was the correlation between ankle elevation, which is critical in explosive propulsion. To confirm the results, the statistical analyses were performed based on the Pearson correlation coefficient and the results were visualized with the help of scatterplots and comparative trend lines. The results prove the relevance of segmental biomechanical credentials as a basis of fencing performance. Instead of just using brute power or speed, the results highlight the effectiveness of adequate joint alignment and movement efficiency. The kinematic variables used to train a multiple regression model predicting the execution time were also measured. The findings are educative to coaches, athletes and sport scientists who wish to improve on technical performance and training in fencing. They add to the literature on sports biomechanics that is changing and may be extended to a framework of evidence-based performance enhancement in high-speed skill-based sports.

摘要

This study was aimed at carrying out an association study of the chosen kinematic variables in the fencing lunge and the corresponding time of this movement in young athletes. The research design used was quantitative descriptive-correlational study to gather biomechanical data on ten, age (15-17 years old) national ranked male fencers. There was a use of high-speed recordings, and three main variables were analyzed, including hip angle (preparatory phase), elbow angle (terminal phase), and ankle elevation (transition phase). Each variable was found to have negative relationships with total lunge time (p 3). The more a hip was extended and the higher the elbow reach and ankle elevation, the shorter the lunge. Among the three variables, the strongest correlation was the correlation between ankle elevation, which is critical in explosive propulsion. To confirm the results, the statistical analyses were performed based on the Pearson correlation coefficient and the results were visualized with the help of scatterplots and comparative trend lines. The results prove the relevance of segmental biomechanical credentials as a basis of fencing performance. Instead of just using brute power or speed, the results highlight the effectiveness of adequate joint alignment and movement efficiency. The kinematic variables used to train a multiple regression model predicting the execution time were also measured. The findings are educative to coaches, athletes and sport scientists who wish to improve on technical performance and training in fencing. They add to the literature on sports biomechanics that is changing and may be extended to a framework of evidence-based performance enhancement in high-speed skill-based sports.
