Introduction
Athough fencing is one of oldest forms of combative arts and sports in the Occident, the sport in its present form is considered to be relatively, new for Korean school physical education. However, it is rapidly becoming a popular physical and recreational activity among college and high school students.
The purpose of the Study
The primary purpose of the study was undertaken to assess the relationship of reaction time and skill movement time in a sport of fencing. The secondary purpose of the study was compare fencer's reaction time with non-fencers' reaction time.
Methodology
Fifteen male fencers and non-fencers were randomly chosen as subjects for the study. Subjects were tested (1) Standing broad jump, (2) Strength, (3) Simple Reaction Time, (4) Combinational Reaction Time, (5) Simple Skill Movement Time, (6) Combinational Skill Movement Time. Non-fencers were not tested skill movement times.
Two one-hundredth second timers were for this study. Data were collected by this investigator and two assistants. The data collected for the study was computed. statistically using Person's and "t" test was applied to checks for significant differences.
Conclusion.
Within the limitations of the scycle study the following conclusions were reached:
1. There were statistically correlated xew between fencers' simple reaction time and skill movement time.
2. There were statisticaly correlated between fencers' reactlion time and combin ational skill movement times.
3. There were no statistically signigicant difference between broad jump(power) and simple reaction time.
4. There were statistically correlated between fencers' weight and strength.
5. There were no statistically significant between fencers' weight and basic skill movement time.
6. There were no statistically significant differences between fencers' reaction time and non-fencers' reaction time.
7. There were statistically significant differences between fencers' skill movement time and non-fencers skill movement time.
Recommendation
1. In developing a study of this nature in the future, it should be done for a longer period of time.
2. Subject with nationally top-rated fencers as high school fencers be should.
3. Contest scores, body size, weight and height of the subjects should be taken into consideration in future studies.
