Abstract

Constraints-led practice is essential in order to channel movement skills acquisition and athlete’s behaviour in decision making. The objective of this study is to identify task constraints effect towards basic footwork fencing skills acquisition on some motor abilities, and to know its interaction in the result of fencing basic footwork skills practice. Quasi-Experimental method and Factorial Design were applied, sample included 20 athletes. The athletes were tested on Barrow Motor Ability Test and Footwork Actions Performance Checklist. After 12 treatment sessions, results indicated there are statistically significant interaction between task constraints, and motor ability on fencing basic footwork skills practice. Furthermore, constraints-led practice has significant differences and greater results based on mean score between pre, and post-measurement in the experimental group. Meanwhile, there are some differences between the experimental and control groups affected by motor ability. A constraints-led practice allows to more rationally organize practice in comparison with traditional practice since it had significant effects on fencing basic footwork skills practice. However, more specific implement of motor ability assessment and their relationship with fencing skills may provide an effective development program in fencing.
