The purpose of this article is to suggest a preliminary methodological approach to an ad hoc functional training for fencers of all three weapons. Fencing is an asymmetric open skills sport with a high psychological application and a huge impact on the musculoskeletal system, thus requiring a high level of physical training. Modern fencing needs to gain a new performance model, which takes into consideration the cognitive aspects of performance. The new model needs to create an exercise plan for athletic training in fencing could be useful to train not only elite fencers but also young practitioners. The preliminary case report study described below aims to give a first analysis to identify functional exercises that could be useful, if properly modified, for improving fencer’s motor control and his performance.
