Tele-Exercise 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.

Treatment and study plan

Tele-exercise program

Other

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 Exercise

Other

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'.

Primary outcomes

  1. Lunge speed

    Time frame: changes from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks

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

  2. 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.

  3. 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

Secondary outcomes

  1. Accurate repeatability of stationary hops

    Time frame: changes from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks

    The distances between repeated hops can evaluate coordination and balance control
