An Analytical Study of Motor Educability Among State and District Level Foil and Epee Fencers: Comparing Motor Educability Among State and District Level Foil and Epee Fencers

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the differenceof motor educability among state anddistrict level foil and epee fencers. A group of 60 male state anddistrict level fencers (mean age 21.81± 2.13 years) after having been informedabout the objective and protocol of the study, gave their written consent andvolunteered to participate in the study. The subjects were purposively assigned into 2 groups: foil fencers (N1=30) and epee fencers (N2=30).Student’s t-test for independent data was used to assess the between-groupdifferences. The level of p≤0.05 was considered significant. Theinvestigational findings indicate thatthe computed value of t for all the foiland epee fencers were greaterthan the tabulated t.05 (59) =2.197.Significant between group differences were found in case of motoreducability amongstate and district level foil and epee fencers.
