Improving fencers’ theoretical training based on the stage reached in their basic development

Ido Movement for Culture. Journal of Martial Arts Anthropology, 2018

Background. The research was devoted to theoretical training based on the stage reached in the basic development in fencing. Analysis of the literature shows that one way to improve the quality of a young fencer's training process is to validate the structure and content of theoretical training and assess the significance of its components to the stage of the fencer's previous basic development in the sport. Problem and aim. The issue of the theoretical training of fencers is only mentioned fragmentally, which points to the absence of any one approach to its realization at different stages of an individual's long-term development. There is a need for a quantitative and qualitative increase in information transfer, and the acquisition of specific quality theoretical knowledge, particularly by using different methods and means of theoretical training. Methods. Theoretical analysis and synthesis, analysis of documentary material, comparison, abstraction, methods of induction and deduction, expert assessment, pedagogical experiment. Results and Conclusions. An author-developed program of theoretical training for solving set tasks there was established and implemented by using algorithmic educational and entertaining means. The pedagogical experiment, which consisted of two periods of four months, enabled us to determine the greater effectiveness of the author program of theoretical training in comparison with the generally-accepted one. There was determined that using the universal algorithmic educational and entertaining means-simulator "TTT"; "Associations"; and "Puzzles"-will lead to an improvement in the theoretical preparedness of fencers at the stage of previous basic development within different informational blocks.

Practical-Methodical Aspects Regarding the Training of the Fencers Aged 8 to 10 Years

GYMNASIUM, 2020

This paper investigates the theoretical, tactical and physical training level specific to the fencer of 8 to 10 years old. The study was conducted in Bucharest Technical Applied Sports Club (foil fencing), in the gym of the Secondary School no 167, with a group of 10 athletes aged 8 to10 years. The study results show the improvement of the specific technical and physical indicators and also of the performance level reached in direct competition. The high values of these indicators reveal a closed connection between the physical training and the technical-tactical one during the fencing sessions. The technicaltactical tests and the competition have values that improved differently for each athlete. This is due to the physical and technical training exercises but especially to the temperamental type of the athletes. The technique, tactics and competition results are influenced by the workouts and particularly by the genetic endowment of each athlete.

Improving the means and methods of training of young fencers aged 9-11 years

Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports, 2021

Background and Study Aim. Training of motor actions of young athletes requires consideration the peculiarities of the sensitive period of their development. An important component of the training program is the use of training tools that do not harm the health of young athletes. The purpose of the study is to identify the dynamics of physical training and provide an assessment of technical and tactical techniques of fencers (sword) aged 9-11 years under the influence of the author's program. Material and methods. The study involved young fencers (n = 20; age 9-11 years). The study lasted one academic year. The training was held in the gym of the children's and youth sports school "Wave" (Kharkiv, Ukraine). Athletes were divided into two uniform groups: control group (n = 10) and experimental group (n = 10). Classes were held according to the author's program 4 times a week for 2 hours. A survey of trainers of trainers (n = 12) and experienced fencers (n = 30) w...

Удк 796.86 Characteristics of Theoretical Training Means (On Material in Fencing)

2016

There was verified effectiveness of algorithmic educational game means of theoretical training on stage of previous basic development during training period. Established that universal educational game means of theoretical training, which should be used in the study of different information units during stage of previous basic development in fencing, are the «Puzzle» and «Association». Means «Showing», «Know the word», «Tell in other words», «Combat» should be used in different combinations. Most universal algorithmic game means of theoretical training are «Associations», Simulator «TTT» and «Puzzle», which confirmed positive changes in theoretical preparedness within the various information blocks of 7.4–55.6 % of athletes.

Theoretical Preparation of Fencers at the Stage of Previous Basic Development

Journal of Sports Research, 2015

The article presents the results of a survey of fencers at the stage of previous basic development, aimed at determination of preparedness for various information blocks. There was established that general level of theoretical preparedness of fencers for different blocks of knowledge from 3,5 to 5,8 points. Questionnaire consisted of five blocks of questions: "The history of the origin and development of fencing", "Competitive activity", "Technique and Tactics", "Basic theory and methodology of athletes training", "Olympism". Correct answers were evaluated by varying the number of points depending on the level of difficulty.

Optimization of student-fencers’ tactical training

Ido Movement for Culture. Journal of Martial Arts Anthropology, 2017

Purpose. To work out and experimentally test the effectiveness of tactical training means and methods in the initial stages of student-fencers' accelerated training. Methods. In the experiment 2 nd year students from two academic groups at the university (n=50) participated. In their first year students undertook fencing training twice a week (2 hours per session). The first group (n=24) was an experimental group (EG), the second (n=26) the control (CG). At the beginning of the experiment the technical-tactic fitness of the students in both groups was approximately equal. The experiment lasted 7 months. All the students gave their written consent to participate in the experiment. Results. It was found that the exercises for distant manoeuvring, for non-defensive duels and for combat actions accelerate the formation of a personal combat style where the coach's instructions are accurately carried out. They also motivate sportspeople to achieve the correct execution of techniques. It was also found that a fencer's tactical thinking is formed and becomes a special combat skill where they are applied in relevant duel conditions. These requirements can be satisfied by athletes only after special training. We worked out exercises, which reflect almost the entire spectrum of tactical training for fencers. Conclusions. We have proposed a particular suite of fencing exercises to improve tactical thinking, and to expand the arsenal of combat actions as well as the circle of combat situations, preparatory actions, attacks and defences; behaviour in unexpected situations and sense of distance.

Features of theoretical training in combative sports

The article deals with the theoretical training as a major driver of the effectiveness of the training process of athletes at different stages of long-term training in combative sports. Purpose: The Purpose is determination of problem aspects of theoretical training in combative sports (fencing and taekwondo). Results: Theoretical training is realized from 4 hours to 30 hours of total training load at various stages of long-term development in fencing (from 1,2 % to 1,8 %). In taekwondo theoretical training is realized from 6 hours to 69 hours of total training load at various stages of long-term development (from 1,9 % to 3,9 %). Negative aspects of theoretical training in a group of combat sports are the lack of specificity and differentiation of means and methods of theoretical training at different stages of development, the lack of information structuring in long-term training, neglecting of control in the theoretical training of athletes.

Structure and content of fencers’ theoretical training

Physical education of students, 2013

Определена структура и содержание теоретической подготовки в системе многолетнего совершенствования спортсменов фехтовальщиков. Установлено, что на теоретическую подготовку спортсменов выделено 1,2−2,0% (этап начальной подготовки), 1,9−2,3% (этап предварительной базовой подготовки), 2,1% (этап специализированной базовой подготовки), 1,8% (этап подготовки к высшим достижениям) от общего объема тренировочных нагрузок в годичном цикле подготовки. Установлено, что имеет место ошибочный подход к планированию учебного материала по теоретической подготовке. При нем информационный материал (по категориям и блоками) представлен в расчете на весь этап, а не по отдельным годам обучения. Рекомендуются направления коррекции отдельных компонентов теоретической подготовки спортсменов: конкретизация средств и методов теоретической подготовки, структурирование информации, внедрение контроля теоретической подготовки.

En-Garde: Focus And Attitude Training Of Fencers Using Acting Techniques

This paper focuses on presenting the process of implementing mental training methods using nonspecific means, namely techniques specific to the Improvisation Theatre, as well as the Improvisational Theatre principles. We have started from the hypothesis according to which using the means of Improvisation Theatre to educate/ develop focus and attitude as means of psychological training for performance athletes is both possible and beneficial. The experiment involved the sabre and epee Olympic teams. In order to identify possible areas of action/ intervention of non-specific training deriving from the Improvisation Theatre techniques, as well as the opportunity/ need for such training, and also to identify the most impact-intensive games for the athletes, the Feedback-questionnaire survey method was used. Feedback questionnaires were prepared before each session in accordance with the aimed objectives and completed by athletes and their coaches at the end of each session. The hypothesis of the research has been confirmed: using the means of Improvisation Theatre to educate/ develop focus and attitude as means of psychological training for performance athletes is not only possible and beneficial, but also needful. The investigated athletes were able to transfer the knowledge and complementary training to both the specific sports training sessions and competitions.
