The fencer who is faster will have the advantage of scoring touch and has a better chance of winning the competition.<br> <strong>Objectives. </strong>This study aims to verify whether training programs that use both non-specific and specific fencing exercises develop the speed of fencers at the level of the lower and upper limbs.<br> <strong>Methods. </strong>The study subjects were divided into two homogeneous groups. The experimental group consisted of 10 athletes (5 boys and 5 girls), and the control group also included 10 athletes (5 boys and 5 girls). The experimental group followed a training program, including one set of exercises to develop limb speed, the set of exercises being different every month, with a total duration of the intervention of 3 months; the control group followed traditional training, without emphasizing the development of the limb speed.<br> <strong>Results. </strong>After three months of training, we could notice a significant difference between the two groups in terms of defining the speed of the athletes&rsquo; lower and upper limbs.<br> <strong>Conclusion. </strong>Considering the results obtained from the tests, we can state that the innovative and different training methods significantly developed the speed of the fencers in the experimental group.</div> Innovative Methods, Speed Development, Favero EFT-1, Optojump Next 0 0 http://aassjournal.com/browse.php?a_code=A-11-2029-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Petra Magyar petra.magyar94@e-uvt.ro 100319475328460013116 0009-0005-0574-5612 Yes Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, West University of Timisoara, Romania Mihaela Faur mihaela.faur@e-uvt.ro 100319475328460013117 100319475328460013117 No Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, West University of Timisoara, Romania Valentin Niță valentin.nita.a@gmail.com 100319475328460013118 100319475328460013118 No The Polytechnic University of Timisoara, Romania Gabriela Dințică dintica.gabriela@gmail.com 100319475328460013119 0009-0009-4597-8989 No Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, National University of Physical Education and Sport, Bucharest, Romani Mihaela Oravițan mihaela.oravitan@e-uvt.ro 100319475328460013120 100319475328460013120 No Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, West University of Timisoara, Romania
