Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of grip strength on the attack accuracy of the three weapons for fencing players in Jordan. The descriptive method was employed due to its suitability for the nature and objectives of the study. The study population comprised 50 fencers from the Jordan Fencing Federation national team, and the study sample consisted of 20 fencers from the same federation. After conducting the study tests and processing the results using the SPSS program, it was found that there are statistically significant differences in the effect of grip strength on attack accuracy. The researchers concluded that grip strength affects the attack accuracy of the three weapons for fencing players in Jordan. They recommend incorporating strength exercises to improve the attack accuracy of the three weapons for fencing players in Jordan, as this will enhance athletic performance.
