Abstract

Abstract
The aim of the research revolved around identifying the correlations between the kinematic variables and the degree of evaluation of the arrow movement performance of the Iraqi national fencing team players for the year (2023-2024). The researchers adopted the descriptive approach, and the research sample was deliberately selected from (6) players from foil and saber fencing who were nominated by the Iraqi Central Fencing Federation as the best fencers who perform this movement. The performance of this skill was tested and videotaped at a speed of (120 frames/second) via a front side camera perpendicular to the performance field. (3) attempts were given to each player, and the best attempt was chosen from the attempts according to the degree of performance evaluation that was done by the game experts. After that, the kinematic variables were extracted, numbering (17) variables distributed over the stages of skill performance. In light of the statistical results of the correlations, (14) significant relationships appeared between the kinematic variables and the degree of performance evaluation. Through these results, the researchers concluded.
-          Kinematic variables have great importance and an effective impact on the evaluation of the performance of the arrow movement of the national fencing team players.
-          It is clear that the strong correlation between the variables of angles, distance and time in the performance evaluation score is due to their great importance and their direct and clear impact on the movement of the weapon, which is the most important of all because through it the touch is easily achieved.
-          The player's starting speed is the most important kinematic variable in the performance of the arrow movement, as it represents the main objective of this movement. Therefore, the player must know how to invest in increasing his speed, and this will be clearly reflected in the performance evaluation score.
