“…However, these fencers demonstrate a higher heart-rate in the 15-touch bouts. Overall these results are comparable with the study of elite female foil fencers (Wylde et al, 2013), with similar work:recovery ratios recorded in the two studies. It was found that adolescent fencers perform a greater amount of high-intensity movement while elite fencers perform longer durations of low-intensity movement.…”

“…A subsequent study explored both these facets of elite female foil fencing (Wylde et al, 2013). This study found that high-intensity movements accounted for 6.2 ± 2.5% of total bout time and that these highintensity movements had a mean duration of 0.7 ± 0.1 s. An overall work:recovery ratio of 1:1.1 was report with heart-rate responses at 90 to 95% of the fencers maximum.…”

“…Bouts involving these fencers were filmed from a balcony above the fencing hall and time-motion analysis was carried out using SportsCode Pro (Sportstec™ Limited, Warriewood, Australia). For the time-motion analysis five movement classifications were used that were grouped into three categories based on movement intensity: Low, Moderate and High (Wylde et al, 2013 The differences between playing positions were analysed using magnitude-based Cohen's (1988) effect size (ES) with modified qualitative descriptors (Hopkins, 2000). Effect sizes were assessed using these criteria: <0.20 = trivial, 0.20 to 0.60 = small, >0.60 to 1.20 = moderate, >1.20 to 2.00 = large, and >2.00 = very large.…”

“…Further research is necessary as it is not possible to generalise information gathered on elite athletes to youth athletes . The aims of this study are to understand the time-motion and heartrate characteristics of adolescent female foil fencing, explore the differences between the 5-touch and 15-touch bouts and compare these results with those found for elite female foil fencers (Wylde et al, 2013).…”

Wylde, M.J., & Yong, L.C. (2015). Time-motion and heart-rate characteristics of adolescent female foil fencers. J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 9(Proc2), pp.S699-S706. Purpose: The aims of this study was to understand the time-motion and heart-rate characteristics of adolescent female foil fencing, explore the differences between the 5-touch and 15-touch bouts and compare these results with previous analysis of elite female foil fencers. Methods: Eight adolescent female foil fencers (age 14.3 ± 1.2 y, stature 157 ± 3.8 cm, body mass 45.9 ± 5.2 kg) were analysed at a youth fencing competition. Each fencer wore a heart-rate monitor throughout the competition and bouts were filmed so time-motion analysis could be carried out. Five movement classifications were used for the time-motion analysis, this were grouped into three categories based on movement intensity: Low, Moderate and High. Results: High-intensity movement accounted for 8.8 ± 4.4 % of total bout time with a mean duration of 0.8 ± 0.2 s. A higher percentage of low-intensity movement was recorded in the 15-touch bouts, with a higher percentage of high-intensity movement recorded in the 5-touch bouts. The mean duration of low-intensity movement was longer in the 15-touch bouts compared to the 5-touch bouts and a higher mean heart-rate was recorded in the 15-touch bouts compared to the 5-touch bouts. Conclusions: The results from this study suggest that adolescent female foil fencers perform a greater percentage of high-intensity movement in 5-touch bouts compared to 15-touch bouts. However, these fencers demonstrate a higher heart-rate in the 15-touch bouts. The practical application of this study is that adolescent female foil fencers must have a strong aerobic base to maintain a lower heart-rate in competition and ensure that fatigue does not become a limiting factor to performance.

High-Intensity Interval Training Prescription for Combat-Sport Athletes

Context: Combat sports are composed of high-intensity actions (eg, attacks, defensive actions, and counterattacks in both grappling and striking situations depending on the specific sport) interspersed with low-intensity actions (eg, displacement without contact, stepping) or pauses (eg, referee stoppages), characterizing an intermittent activity. Therefore, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is at the essence of combat-sport-specific training and is used as complementary training, as well. HIIT prescription can be improved by using intensity parameters derived from combat-sport-specific tests. Specifically, the assessment of physiological indexes (intensity associated with the maximal blood lactate steady state, maximal oxygen consumption, and maximal sprint) or of time–motion variables (high-intensity actions, low-intensity actions, and effort:pause ratio) is a key element for a better HIIT prescription because these parameters provide an individualization of the training loads imposed on these athletes. Purpose: To present a proposal for HIIT prescription for combat-sport athletes, exemplifying with different HIIT protocols (HIIT short intervals, HIIT long intervals, repeated-sprint training, and sprint interval training) using combat-sport-specific actions and the parameters for the individualization of these protocols. Conclusions: The use of combat-sport-specific tests is likely to improve HIIT prescription, allowing coaches and strength and conditioning professionals to elaborate HIIT short intervals, HIIT long intervals, repeated-sprint training, and sprint interval training protocols using combat-sport actions, providing more specificity and individualization for the training sessions.
