Tele-Exercise for Male Elite Fencers
July 20, 2023 updated by: Sungbae Jo, Sahmyook University
Tele-Exercise Programs Improves Physical Performance for Male Elite Fencers
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.

Experimental: Tele-exercise program group
Provide the following programs:
|
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
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'.

Active Comparator: Control group
Provide the following programs: 1) conventional fencing exercise: 5 times per week, 30 minute/session |
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'.

|
Lunge distance
Time Frame: changes from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks
|
Distance travelled to perform a single lunge is one of the essential physical ability for fencing athletes.
|
changes from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks
|
|
Reaction time
Time Frame: changes from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks
|
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
