The Effect of a Proposed Training Program to Improve Some Physical Abilities, Breathing Functions, and Speed of Touch for Fencing Players

Abstract

The research aims to identify the effect of the proposed program on some physical abilities, the strength characterized by speed of the leg muscles, motor speed, transitional speed, agility, flexibility and breathing functions to improve the speed of touches for fencing players. The number of the research sample was (20) fencing players under 17 year, and they were divided into an experimental group, numbering (5) players, to whom the proposed training program under study was applied, and the other a control group, numbering (5) players, to which the traditional program was applied (by the coach, in addition to the exploratory research sample from within the original community and from outside the basic research sample They numbered (10) players and were chosen intentionally from Nasr City Sports Club players for the 2018/2019 sports season. The researcher used the experimental method for two groups, one experimental and the other control, using a pre-post score. The researcher concluded that there were statistically significant differences between the level of performance of some agility physical abilities, Motor speed, flexibility, strength characterized by leg muscle speed, and translational speed were in favor of the post-measurement of the experimental group, where the calculated T value was (2.22, 2.98, 4.84, 7.77, 8.27), respectively, greater than the tabulated T value (1.833), where the calculated T value was (6.24) is greater than the tabulated value of (1.833) in the average speed of touches, and in the respiratory function variables, we find that the improvement rates ranged between (5.52% - 23.76%), and this confirms that the training curriculum leads to a direct improvement process, and the researcher returns This difference depends on the application of the proposed training program, and the researcher recommends using suggested exercises during training programs to improve physical abilities and breathing functions to improve the speed of touches.
