Amaç: ''Epe, flöre ve kılıç'' olarak 3 farklı branşta oynanan eskrimde, oyuncuların saniyeler içinde karar verme ve uygulama becerilerinin iyi düzeyde olması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı reaksiyon performansları ve bilişsel becerileri, eskrimin 2 branşında karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, 13-17 yaşları arasında 53 (flöre=24 ve kılıç=29) sporcu katılmıştır. Katılımcılara 2 ayrı bilişsel beceri testi (Clock Test ve Timewall Testi) uygulatılmış ve reaksiyon süreleri, 3 farklı test (Clock Test, Basit Düğme Testi, Branşa Özgü Reaksiyon Zamanı Testi) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Verilerin normal dağılmaması sebebiyle istatistikler, Friedman analizi ve Wilcoxon testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Timewall Testi ve Basit Düğme Testi'nde, branşlar arası anlamlı fark bulunmazken, Clock Test ile ölçülen reaksiyon zamanı, flörede istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde daha kısa bulunmuştur (p=0,022). Flöre branşında, 3 reaksiyon testi karşılaştırıldığında, testler arasında anlamlı bir fark çıkmış ve en iyi sonuçlar ''Branşa Özgü Reaksiyon Zamanı Testi''nde gözlemlenmiştir. Kılıç branşı için yapılan 2 reaksiyon testinin karşılaştırılmasında ise Clock Test sonuçları istatistiksel olarak daha iyi sonuç vermiştir (p=0,003). Sonuç: Bu araştırma sonuçları, eskrim gibi rakip ataklarına en kısa sürede yanıt verilmesi gereken bir mücadele sporunda, branşa özgü bir test ile reaksiyon zamanının daha hassas ölçülebildiğini göstermektedir. Bunun yanında, eskrimde uygulanabilecek bilişsel testlerin seçimi, branşlara göre farklılık göstermektedir. Flöre branşında, bilişsel testlerde daha iyi sonuçlar alınmasının sebebi, branşın yapısında daha fazla dikkat ve odaklanma olması olabilir.

Objective: In fencing which played in 3 different branches as epee, foil and sabre; players must have advanced skills such as making decisions and perform within seconds. Aim of this study is to compare different reaction performances and cognitive skills between two branches of fencing. Material and Methods: 53 (foil=24 and sabre=29) athletes aged 13-17 were included in this study. Two cognitive skills tests (Clock Test and Timewall Test) were applied and reaction times were evaluated with 3 different tests (Clock Test, Simple Button Test, Branch Specific Reaction Time Test). Friedman analysis and Wilcoxon test used because the data were not distributed normally. Results: There was no difference between the branches according to Timewall Test and Simple Button Test. Reaction times which measured with Clock Test was significantly shorter in foil (p=0.022). When the average of three tests in foil were compared, there was a significant difference between all tests and the best results were observed in Branch Specific Reaction Time Test. In the comparison of the two reaction tests performed in the sabre, the Clock Test showed significantly better results (p=0.003). Conclusion: The findings indicates that reaction time can be measured more precisely with a branch-specific test in a combat sport that athletes need to respond to rival attacks as soon as possible like fencing. Besides the selection of cognitive tests can be applied in fencing varies according to the branches. The reason for better scores in cognitive tests in foil may be that there are more attention and focus in the structure of the branch.
