Differences between representatives of three kinds of weapon in fencing from somatic and physiological point of view

The interesting results we observed when the somatic indexes were examined. Analysis shows that sabre fencers represented higher level of Roher's index then other fencers. It leads to conclusion that sabre fencers express more athletic type of body structure therefore, it is probably conected with their dynamic style of fight which correlates with their predisposition to the anaerobic efforts. Reffering to the physiological components we have noticed that only sabre fencers reached higher value of peak power (PP) in Wingate test. Making a comparison of athlets concerning the aerobic capacity we have assumed that VO2max and the level of HR during the fight slighty differs particular groups. It can be affirmed that the abilty to aerobic efforts is characteristic phenomenon to all fencers comunity.
