Study Overview
Brief Summary
Tele-exercise has been used to enhance athletic performance among athletes. Physical performance indicators such as lunge distance, speed, reaction time, coordination, and balance control during stationary jumps can be used to measure the effectiveness of tele-exercise programs for fencing athletes.
The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of tele-exercise programs on lunge distance, speed, reaction time, coordination, and balance control during stationary jumps among male elite fencers.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Reaction time
Time Frame: changes from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks
Reaction time is one of the essential physical ability for fencing athletes that can be measured by the time required to move when subject hear a signal
Lunge speed
Time Frame: changes from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks
Speed to perform a single lunge is one of the essential physical ability for fencing athletes.
Lunge distance
Time Frame: changes from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks
Distance travelled to perform a single lunge is one of the essential physical ability for fencing athletes.
Secondary Outcomes
- Accurate repeatability of stationary hops(changes from baseline after intervention at 4 weeks)
