“…Also, in a study conducted on male fencers, better results in the dominant hand speed movement were observed after six weeks of transfer training of the non-dominant side. The authors also demonstrated that bilateral transfer may be effective in fencing training [25].…”

Study aim: The symmetrisation of movements can be a way to develop individual coordinative skills, and to prevent the occur-rence of injuries. For this reason, in this study an attempt was made to evaluate and compare simple reaction time and movement time for épée fencers of different sports classes, and to determine the impact that three years of symmetrisation training and unilateral training have on the speed of reaction components and on dynamical asymmetry. Material and methods: The study was conducted on 60 women épée fencers of different sports classes, and it was repeated in two groups after three years of unilateral and symmetrisation training. Simple reaction time and movement time for the dominant and the non-dominant hand were analysed using Vienna Test System. Results: Women épée fencers of high sports class were characterised by a significantly faster reaction time than their less experienced colleagues. In tests conducted after three years of symmetrisation training, athletes from the experimental group achieved also much better results in reaction time (RT) than those from the control group training with the unilateral method. Conclusions: Long-time unilateral training of master class women épée fencers led to dynamical asymmetry, which in the future could cause injuries and have a negative impact on the development of selected motor skills. Symmetrical training conducted in the experimental group had a positive impact on reaction time indicators as well as on movement time indicators, and it prevented the occurrence of dynamical asymmetry in the tested competitors. Thus, it can be inferred that symmetrical exercises will have a positive impact on training effectiveness and on versatility of athletes.

“…In the findings of the study, they stated that the handgrip strength of the defenders was 28.4 kg. Witkowski et al, (2020) measured the handgrip strength of male and female athletes (all fencers were right-handed) between the ages of 14-20 in their study. In the findings of the study, they stated that the average handgrip strength of the fencers was 28.08 kg for the right hand and 23.41 kg for the left hand.…”

Fencing sport, by its nature, includes high aerobic and anaerobic activities and can also be affected by different parameters such as age, gender, technical level. Therefore, the aim of the study was to examine the performance parameters of the Turkey junior national fencing team in terms of gender. Nineteen national athletes (9 male age; 15.55±.88 years, body height;1.79±.05 cm, body mass; 71.22±9.33 kg, 10 female age;15.60±1.34, body height; 1.69±.06 cm, body mass; 57.00±8.81 kg) in the national team camp participated to the study voluntarily. In the study, anthropometric measurements and performance parameters of fencers were measured. In the study, handgrip strength, agility T-test, Yo-Yo IR1 test, vertical jump test (anaerobic power), balance test, 30-sec push-up, and 30-sec sit-up tests were performed. The analysis of the study was made using 24 SPSS package programs. Pearson Correlation test, paired-sample t-test, and independent-sample t-test were used. When the performance parameters of male and female fencers were compared, there were significant differences in favor of males in the parameters of the dominant hand, non-dominant handgrip strength, agility, aerobic endurance, anaerobic power, agility, 30s push-ups, and 30s sit-ups, but no statistically significant difference was found between total balance scores. In both groups, it was found that the dominant hand produced statistically more handgrip strength than the other hand. There was a significant relationship between dominant handgrip strength with anaerobic power and push-ups with total balance in male fencers' performance parameters. When the performance values of female fencers were examined; there was a significant relationship between anaerobic power with sit-up and both handgrips strength. Also, there was a relationship between dominant handgrip strength and non-dominant handgrip strength with the sit-up test. A correlation was found between dominant handgrip strength and non-dominant handgrip strength. When the performance parameters of fencing athletes are examined; the performance parameters of male fencers are better than female fencers. The increase in one performance parameter also can affect the development of the others.

“…Such an approach is focused on intensive cognitive development while stimulating physical development [27]. Nonetheless, it may also contribute-as the effect of an interhemispheric transfer-to increasing the effectiveness of PE in the context of physical parameters, especially in terms of object control skills [81,82]. Perhaps if the control group used Eduball, there would be no deterioration of these competencies, as was the case in the experimental/Eduball group.…”

Although the neuronal mechanisms of action and cognition are related, the division of intellectual and physical lessons is standard in schools. This is surprising, because numerous studies show that integrating physical education (PE) with teaching content stimulates critical skills. For example, several experiments indicate that Eduball-based PE (i.e., lessons in a sports hall during which students play team mini-games with educational balls with printed letters, numbers, and other signs) develops mathematical and language competencies. At the same time, the Eduball method does not slow down learners’ physical development. However, we have little knowledge about the effects of such techniques on non-native language learning. Consequently, the absence of incorporating core academic subjects into PE in dual-language schools or during foreign language education is exceptionally high. Here, we replicated the Eduball experiment, but with the goal of testing this method for non-native language learning. Thus, the intervention occurred in a dual-language primary school and we evaluated second language (L2) learning. As before, we used the technique of parallel groups (experimental and control); in both groups, there were three 45-min PE classes per week. In the experimental class, two of them were held using Eduball. After a half-year experiment, children from the experimental group (one second-grade, N = 14) improved their non-native language skills significantly more than their peers from the control group (one second-grade, N = 12). These findings demonstrate that Eduball-type intervention stimulates non-native language learning in children. Hence, our report suggests that specific body training forms can support L2 learning.
