A comparative study of some physiological variations among the players who using weapons of the saber and foil in the sport of fencing

Abstract

The main aim of present study is to comparative some of physiological variations among the players who using weapons of the saber and foil in the sport of fencing. Twelve prospective fencing players aged more than 18 years are participated from sport Shalla club, divided in two groups one group included 6 players of saber weapon and second group included 6 players of foil weapon, researcher used descriptive design method with style of comparative study due to it is suitable to the nature of the study. Heart rate after effort directly, Vo2max, PWC170, systolic  pressure, recovery after 3 minutes, voluntary capacity, and oxygen amount in comparison with expiration air tests  were used to collect data. Some of the major findings are as follows: a) Study sample did not show a significant physiological changes among saber and foil weapons players; b) Saber weapon players did not appear a significant correlation between physiological changes just in recovery and systolic  pressure indications; c) A positive correlation between heart rate after effort and recovery for study subject; d) A positive correlation between heart rate after effort and systolic  pressure of the foil weapon players, as well as a significant correlation between systolic  pressure and Vo2max for the players of foil weapon.
