![]() ![]() ![]() For fencer B, the changes were more complex. For fencer A, only improvement in consistency in distance from the target would improve scoring. ![]() Using three complementary regression approaches, we showed that each fencer could improve scoring by changing specific aspects of their kinematics. Our results showed that the two fencers exhibited significantly different kinematics, coordination and scoring. Scoring success was determined with a conventional scoring box. High speed video (650 fps) captured the motion of the tip of the foil, blade of the foil, and limb joints the latter were used to calculate joint angular velocities, hand height and distance throughout the flick. Two elite foil fencers of similar skill were instructed to execute flicks at a dummy target that mimicked the opponent’s shoulder. In particular, we asked what aspect of the movement each individual fencer can change to improve their likelihood of scoring. The aim of our research was to identify the kinematic variables that significantly influence scoring success in two elite foil fencers. The flick is a high-level action that involves bending the blade toward the opponent, much like a whip or fly-fishing cast. Although previous research addressed kinematics of the lunge and fleche, there are currently no studies on the flick. ![]() Sport fencing is an open-skilled combat sport practiced around the world. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury![]()
