MOTOR INTELLIGENCE AND ANTICIPATORY CAPACITY IN ACHIEVEMENT PERFORMANCE IN FENCING.

Fencing as a sport requires a combination of physical fitness, mental acuity, and strategic anticipation. This study explores the role of motor intelligence and anticipatory ability in the achievement of excellence in fencing performances. Motor intelligence includes the ability to process sensory information quickly, adapt movements to suitably, and execute precise actions. Anticipation involves the ability to predict the actions of opponents and effectively react. By analyzing the interaction between motor intelligence and anticipatory ability, we elucidated the mechanisms underlying high-level fencing performance. Perspectives from cognitive neuroscience, biomechanics, and sport psychology are integrated to comprehensively understand the cognitive-motor processes involved in fencing. Practical implications for training programs and coaching methodologies are discussed, highlighting the importance of developing motor intelligence and anticipatory skills to optimize fencing competition performance.
