Summary/Abstract: This study is focused on kinematic analysis in fencing lunge of different performance-related groups of fencers. The first group (n=7) consists of elite fencers of the Czech Republic, who are active in fencing an average of 12 years (±3,4). In the second group (n=7), there are fencers who are active in fencing up to two years. Subjects of our study performed lunge on a visual stimulus of LEDs, which is part of the Fitrosword device. The end of lunge was defined by hit of the target. The aim of this study was detection and charactrerization of movement structure in fencing lunge. Video recording and Dartfish TeamPro 6 Data software were used to evaluation of kinematic the lunge. The investigation revealed significant differences in the structure of individual phases of the lunge given to monitored groups of fencers. Between the the groups of fencers was identified difference in reaction time, speed of extension at the elbow joint and range of the movement in lunge.
