摘要：The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of basic fencing and velocity training on reaction time in the 9- 12 year-old beginners of fencing. The 45 beginners (17 female, 28 male, total age means: 11.04±0.93years, height means: 142,76 ±10.71 cm, weight means: 39.64 ±10.13 kg) who applied to the Mersin Büyüksehir Municipality Fencing Sports Club (MBMFSC) volunteered to participate in this study. The beginners were randomly divided into three groups; Basic Fencing Group (BFG); Velocity Group (VG); and Control Group (CG). Each group was consisted of 15 children. During the study, BFG participated in a 8-week basic fencing training program (3 days per week, 50 minutes per session). Under the same conditions, velocity training program was performed by VG. The CG did not participate in any of the activities regularly. At the baseline and at the end of 8 week- programs, the lower extremity reaction time of all groups was measured with the Newtest Automatic Performance Analyzer. Reaction time of the upper extremity in all groups was also recorded with the apparatus of upper extremity reaction time measurement. All analyses were made using the SPSS statistical package, version 13.0. ANOVA test was used for the comparison of three groups (BFG, VG, CG). Paired- samples t-test was used the comparison of baseline and at the end of 8 week for each group. The level of significance was accepted as p<.05 and the reliability level as %95. At the baseline and at the end of 8 week-program, the upper extremity reaction time of BFG showed the significant difference (p=0.002). At the baseline and the end of that 8 week-program, the upper and the lower extremity reaction times of VG showed the significant difference (the upper p=0.011, the lower p=0.022). At the end of 8 week-program, there was significant differences between groups (p=0.03). In conclusion, the 9-12 year-old beginners of fencing are performed not only basic fencing training program but also velocity training program for their reaction times. As a result of this, we emphasize multi-model program which is include both basic fencing training program and velocity training program contribute to improve to the reaction time in the 9-12 year-old beginners of fencing
