Olympic Level Fencing: Men's Individual FoilScientific Principles of Strength and ConditioningFencingThe Olympic Games bring together exceptional and impeccably dominant individuals in their particular concentration of training and athleticism. The Olympic Games feature a range of events and/or sports from individual to team competitions, and are either sports-related activities or combat-related activities, such as fencing. Fencing is the sport of sword fighting, which was first known in 14th century Germany with heavier and larger swords, but fencing evolved towards the use of a sword lighter so fencers move much faster in combat, competition and now a recreational sport (Slade, 2009). The sport of fencing is a combat sport that requires skill and is practiced primarily indoors, where two athletes compete indirectly using the sword, and where physical interaction is prohibited (Rio and Bianchedi , 2008). The swords used in fencing are the saber, epee and foil, and the weapon the fencer is expected to use is centered on what he or she was interested in at the start of training or what the local club deals with, or perhaps because of what he was interested in at the start of training. what the coach specializes in (Turner et al., 2013). This sport requires anaerobic training in shooters to produce high-speed action that is dynamic in nature and requires a large amount of joint articulation and muscle force generation. Mental acuity factors are also crucial in fencing, from mental preparation to the tactical action taken during the event to gain the upper hand (Chang, Regatte, & Schweitzer, 2009). Fencing is a mental and physical game; competitors must constantly anticipate their opponent's movement...... middle of paper ......vention.
