The Impact of the Implementation of Lunge Exercise with Heel Striking on Fencing

Abstract

This paper is a scientific study of a review paper about fencing. The development of fencing sports, the more modern style game of fencing with a pattern of game, are fast and explosive. To support fast and effective movements, appropriate techniques and body movements are needed that can support fencing movements. The heel contact when carrying out an attack is a traditional technique, and the technique is not effective in modern fencing so far. Recently, Modern fencing uses footballs that support the player to move quickly. In addition to the effectiveness and speed of movement, this first ball footwear minimizes pressure on the foot because the movement bounces and is not charged to just one place, but it is distributed among ankle knee and hip joints. Meanwhile, the high use of heel contact can cause an excessive injury resulted in bone fatigue. This happens because the pressure received is charged at one point, the heel itself. Therefore, it has an impact on the knees and hips. This paper presents scientific knowledge about the impact of heel attack training on the occurrence of injuries in fencing. Coaches and athletes should be able to be selective in training and carrying out techniques in the correct manner to minimize the occurrence of injuries as well as to support fast and effective movements when playing fencing.
