Full description

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hamstring muscle length on lunge distance in fencing sword athletes. A goniometer was used to assess hamstring muscle length and a tape measure was used to assess lunge distance in 20 athletes who agreed to participate in the study and signed the consent form. We believe that the results of our study will provide new perspectives on increasing the success of fencing sword athletes and reducing their injuries. SPSS 24.0 program will be used for statistical analysis. Pearson correlation test will be applied to evaluate the relationship between hamstring muscle length and lunge distance.
