Abstract
[b]Introduction.[/b] The purpose of the research is to measure of the structure of the lunge in epee fencing . Differences in the performance of the fencing lunge depend on the type and complexity of tactical tasks (feints, disengagements, bladework).[b]Material and methods.[/b] The subject was an advanced, right-handed, 22-year-old female epee fencer and opponent was a senior male fencer, both are members of the Poland Epee Team.The use of surface electromyography (sEMG) and synchronized high-speed cameras allow a complete and thorough assessment of the motor pattern of an entire fencing action.[b]Results.[/b] Present study show that technically complex fencing actions entail increased fencers’ muscle activities. Moreover, the time of motor patterns is also extended in response to the longer programming phase of a movement.[b]Conclusions.[/b] Complexity of a motor task affects sEMG readings and the sequence of activation of particular muscles
