Summary: | Title Influence of a performance level of fencers on reaction time and activation of selected muscles during a lunge. Problem The motion efficiency of offensive or defensive actions implemented during the match of fencing is related to the consolidation of movement patterns in the CNS through the training proces and competition situations. In this regard, muscle activation during a lunge, which is the most common form of attack, may be important for the resulting performance of fencers. The attack during a match is usually initiated by the occurrence of visual stimuli (eg. opponent's arm movement). Throughout the training proces and practise, in which are the given model situations repeated, occurs a creation of a specific purpose motion program stored in memory. Fencers are during the match often exposed to situations where they have to respond simultaneously to multiple stimuli that have to be adequately evaluated. The appropriate response may be associated with the movement or ignorance of stimuli, therefore will this work also deal with the level of complex reaction time. When measuring complex reaction time so-called "additional" stimulation will be used, it is increasing the number of stimuli, but should not lead to physical reaction of the fencer. The results of the present work related to...
