Popis: The research was based on extensive studies of fencers at the introductory and specialist training stages. The impact of formerly emphasized somatic and psycho-physiological factors on the level of sport mastery in fencing was sidelined in favor of psycho-motor factors. The latter, especially choice reaction time and spatial anticipation are considered to be the major predictors of talent in fencing. The application of the novice-expert paradigm allowed assessment of developments of these traits as well as correlations between the information processing speed and the motor phase of sensor motor responses. A significant reduction of decision-making time in complex motor tasks was observed in expert fencers. Following opinions of the leading fencing coaches, reaction time should be treated as a significant factor of effectiveness of learning complex motor habits and their successful implementation in sport combat.
