the Effect of Educational Exercises Using Visual Devices on Developing Certain Visual Abilities and Skill Performance in Fencing among Fifth-Grade Preparatory Students

Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of educational exercises using visual devices on the development of certain visual abilities (reaction speed, visual–motor coordination, target tracking) and skill performance (direct attack, compound attack, parry) in fencing among fifth-grade secondary school students. The researcher employed the experimental method with a pre-test and post-test design for two groups (experimental and control), with a total sample of 30 students. The experimental group followed an educational program using special visual devices for eight weeks with three sessions per week, while the control group relied on traditional exercises. The results revealed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group in both visual abilities

 and skill performance. The study concludes that integrating visual devices into the educational process is an effective approach to enhancing both visual and skill performance in fencing, and recommends the implementation of such devices in schools and sports federations.
