The purpose of the present study was to determine if it is possible to affect the level of simple (SRT) and choice (CRT) reaction time of fencers with a specific 9-week (in total 350 minutes) training intervention. The research sample consisted of 19 healthy fencers (12 boys, 16±1.1 years and 7 girls, 16.4±0.9 years). Five of the tested subjects were selected as the control group that did not participate in the reaction time training. The training of the experimental group was conducted on an Electronic Fencing Target (EFT1). All tested individuals completed an entrance and exit reaction time test on the Fitrosword device, which consisted of hitting the target with an epée from the guard position after lighting of an LED light (green, red, yellow) by using various motor responses of the armed arm. No difference in reaction time (SRT, CRT) was found between the experimental and control groups for the entrance test. A significant difference between groups was found for results of the CRT (p = 0.116, d = 0.722) after the 9-week training. A significant difference in CRT was also found between the entrance and the exit tests in the experimental group (p = 0.013, r = 0.469). This difference was not significant in the case of the control group (p = 0.345, r = 0.298). Based on these results, we can assume a positive impact of specific reaction time training on response speed. We can use these results in the training process to improve reaction time, which is an important component of overall sports performance in many combat disciplines, such as karate, boxing, taekwondo, judo, and fencing, as well as motorsports, ball games, etc.

为期9周的培训干预对15至18岁击剑运动员反应时间的影响

本研究的目的是确定是否有可能通过特定的9周（总共350分钟）训练干预来影响击剑运动员的简单（SRT）和选择（CRT）反应时间。研究样本包括19名健康击剑运动员（12名男孩，16±1.1岁，7名女孩，16.4±0.9岁）。选择五个测试对象作为不参加反应时间训练的对照组。实验小组的训练是在电子击剑靶（EFT1）上进行的。所有接受测试的人都在Fitrosword装置上完成了进入和退出反应时间测试，包括使用武装人员的各种电机响应，在点亮LED灯（绿色，红色，黄色）后，从警卫位置以重剑击中目标。臂。反应时间（SRT，CRT）被发现在实验组和对照组之间进行入学测试。经过9周的训练后，CRT的结果之间存在显着差异（p = 0.116，d = 0.722）。在实验组的入场和出场测试之间，CRT也存在显着差异（p = 0.013，r = 0.469）。在对照组中，这种差异不明显（p = 0.345，r = 0.298）。基于这些结果，我们可以假设特定反应时间训练对响应速度具有积极影响。我们可以在训练过程中使用这些结果来改善反应时间，这是许多格斗学科（例如空手道，拳击，跆拳道，柔道，击剑，击剑，赛车，球类等）中整体运动表现的重要组成部分。
