المستخلص

The current study aims to identify the effects of functional exercises on the level of direct simple attack achievement among junior epee fencers less than 11 years of age. The researchers used the experimental approach (one-group design) with pre- and post-measurements. Participants (n=22) were volunteersfrom Tanta Sports Club epee fencers younger than 11 years of age during the 2022-2023 season, all registered in the Egyptian Federation of Fencing. The main experimental group included (10) fencers,while the other (12) participated in the pilot study. The results indicated that:
- Considering the physical variables, all improvements came in favor of post-measurements on p≤0.05 after initiating the training program that included functional exercises for strength endurance and speed strength.
- The effect sizes were very high for all the physical variables under investigation.
- Considering the technical variables, all improvements came in favor of post-measurements on p≤0.05 after initiating the training program that improved direct simple attacks for epee fencers in less than 11 years.
- The effect sizes were very high on the level of achievement of a direct simple attack.
