أثر برنامج لتركيز الإنتباه على مستوى القلق ودقة اللمسة في رياضة المبارزة
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a concentration program on anxiety level and hit accuracy in fencing sport. Using an experimental approach, the study sample consisted of 54 fencing students from the first semester of the academic year 2023/2024. They were divided into experimental (32 students) and control (22 students) groups. Data were collected using the Taylor Anxiety Scale and the Favero Electronic Fencing Target device. Results show no statistically significant differences in anxiety levels pre and post-the regular program for the control group. Also, statistically significant differences were observed in their hit accuracy. Additionally, significant differences were found in the experimental group However, post-program comparisons between the control and experimental groups revealed statistically significant differences anxiety level and touch accuracy, favouring the experimental group. Recommendation of incorporating concentration programs into fencing teaching and training to enhance touch accuracy and control the anxiety level. (Author’s abstract)
