Son pocos los estudios publicados sobre consumos de oxígeno y demandas bioenergéticas en competición simulada en esgrima. De sus tres modalidades la más estudiada es la espada (Iglesias et al. 2000, 2018; Bottoms et al., 2011), mientras que en florete solo se han analizado tiradores masculinos (Turner et al., 2017) y no existen evidencias en sable....

The aim of the study was to analyze the time dynamics of the assaults of fencing at high-level competition in modern pentathlon, the density of fencing phrases, the typology of technical and tactical actions, their spatial and temporal distribution and their impact on the score.

Knowing the temporary structure of the sport it is fundamental to match competitive objectives with the training (Barris et al., 2008). The objective of the current study was to characterize the temporal structure of elite judo combat based on gender and different weight categories.

The importance of observational analysis in combat sports when analyzing, diagnosing and reporting to athletes and coaches certain aspects or factors to optimize sporting performance has been demonstrated (Miarka et al., 2010). The temporary structure of judo combat intermittently combines high intensity effort sequences (SE) with brief pause perio...

Research on the physiological demands of fencing during a simulated competition is scarce. Out of the three weapons used in fencing (épée, foil, and sabre), studies have focused on épée (Iglesias et al. 2000, 2018; Bottoms et al., 2011), but foil has only been studied in men (Turner et al., 2017), and no study to date has been conducted on sabre. T...
