Study of the influence of adaptation-changing exercises for the back muscles of fencers in the training process

Abstract

The article describes the generally accepted direction of physical training of fencers and its importance in the training process. During the study of scientific and methodical literature, it was found that in the training of fencers, little attention is paid to the prevention of back injuries and diseases, which is the main problem of the musculoskeletal system for this sport. An experiment was conducted to introduce adaptation-strengthening exercises into the training process of fencers at the stage of preliminary basic training (children aged 12-13). Two groups of fencing athletes took part in our experiment at the stage of preliminary basic training, which corresponds to the age stage of advanced training. The experiment took place on the basis of the "Harmony" Fencing Center. The control group consisted of 11 athletes aged 12–13 years. There were 12 fencers of the same age in the experimental group. The study took place from September 2021 to May 2022. At the beginning of the study (September 2021), the control and experimental groups were tested according to the standards of general and special physical training provided for in the program for fencing sports schools. Both groups (experimental and control) trained 5 times a week: 4 times specialized training and 1 time general physical training. With the help of testing, it is shown that such an innovation does not affect the general and special preparedness of fencing athletes during the annual training cycle. This shows that adaptive strengthening exercises for the back can be actively used in the training process of young fencers, without harming the basic physical qualities necessary for this sport. In the training process of fencers of training groups, insufficient attention is paid to strengthening and relaxing the muscles of the muscular corset, which is a necessary prevention of injuries and diseases of the back, which is the biggest problem area of the musculoskeletal system of fencers.
