Compound exercises and their effect on motor speed and growth hormone in junior fencers

Abstract

The research aims to identify the proposed special exercises using the rubber ropes and their effect on the motor speed and growth hormone level of junior fencing players. The experimental approach was used and the research community was represented by the fencing players with the foil weapon, numbering (20) juniors. The researchers used pre- and post-tests and measurements that are consistent with the research requirements. The results of the study indicated the following: The proposed exercises using the rubber ropes had an effective impact on developing motor speed among the members of the experimental group. The results of measuring growth hormone also showed its presence within the normal limits among the members of the research sample. One of the most important recommendations is to adopt the proposed exercises using the rubber ropes as an auxiliary tool in developing motor speed, as well as adopting the physiological indicators that were reached as an indication of the development of the training status in fencing.
