Intervention: Proprioceptive Training
Control
The intervention will be the implementation of a proprioceptive training program for the fencing athletes in the intervention group. In this study the training program will be developed for 12 weeks and will be applied during the heating of the athletes, three times a week and the duration of each session is 30 minutes. Each week will be chosen three of the 14 exercises adapted for fencing athletes, and preferably one of each category. The categories have exercises with different levels of difficulty and can change the exercises occur by different proposed levels or the complexity of the exercise by changing category. The training program will be implemented by the same evaluator over the 12 weeks.
The control group will not make the intervention and will continue with the usual training fencing.
