Building and standardizing a composite test (kinesthetic-motor) for balancing armed arm and accuracy in the foil weapon

Abstract

The research problem became evident due to the lack of compound tests that measure two abilities simultaneously. Therefore, the researcher decided to find a measuring method that assesses both the motor skill and the precision in this sport using an accurate means. Touching the weapon cannot be determined because it depends on the agility of movement and the very small size of the weapon's fly, which is the light signal with the bell and timing. As for the balance of the armed arm, it is not to exceed the target area because any increase in the target's circle allows the opponent to penetrate and take a touch on it. Therefore, the question is whether the compound test measures two compound abilities (balance of the armed arm and stabbing accuracy)? The research objective is to build and standardize a compound test that measures two motor skills (balance of the armed arm and stabbing accuracy) for the foil weapon. The researcher used the descriptive method to match it with the research problem, and the research community consisted of the registered players in the central union, who numbered 60 players. The construction and standardization were conducted on them, while the stability survey experiment was conducted on five of them without repeating the test, meaning that their grades were taken only once. The researcher concluded that the compound test is valid for the intended ability, and that the compound test is necessary and important in individual sports, especially because they require the integration of more than one ability in one. The researcher emphasized the necessity of adopting and using the test when selecting fencing players.
