Assessment of the general explosive strength of lower limbs in Holguín fencers

Abstract

The development of explosive strength of the lower limbs in the physical preparation of fencers is an essential element of physical preparation, particularly in the sabre modality. The optimal preparation of this capacity is a condition for achieving favorable sporting results. However, the planning of elements related to the control and evaluation of explosive strength in the special preparation stage is limited. The research is aimed at evaluating the explosive strength in the lower limbs of fencers in the 13-15 age group through the post-test during this stage. With a population of ten fencers in the 13-15-year-old category belonging to the "Pedro Miguel Díaz Coello" School of Sports Initiation in Holguín. In this sense, the objective was to determine the values of maximum strength in the lower limbs from intensity zone 2 during the special stage in fencers in the 13-15-year-old category. For this purpose, analytical-synthetic and historical-logical theoretical methods were applied; and empirical methods, such as document analysis and pre-experimental design with a pretest and posttest for a single group and as a mathematical statistical method: descriptive statistics from the mean, standard deviation; minimum and a maximum.
