Selected physiological characteristics of seven national-class fencers (1983 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I champions) were studied and the results compared with those for normal persons and athletes of similar age. Evaluation included maximal oxygen uptake during arm and leg ergometry, serum lipids, body composition, and standard spirometry. Maximal oxygen uptake during arm work (34.2 mL X kg-1 X min-1) was 68% of that observed during leg work (50.2 mL X kg-1 X min-1). Mean serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, and high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol levels were 68.5, 187, and 54.5 mg/dL, respectively. Hydrostatically determined percent body fat averaged 12.2%. Results of pulmonary function studies were normal. The aerobic capacity of National Collegiate Athletic Association fencers is only slightly higher than active men of comparable age, and substantially lower than world-class endurance athletes. These data suggest that success in fencing may depend more on technique, speed, and agility as opposed to a high aerobic capacity and low percent body fatness.
对七名国家级击剑运动员（1983年美国大学体育总会第一赛区冠军）的部分生理特征进行了研究，并将结果与正常人和年龄相仿的运动员进行了比较。评估内容包括手臂和腿部测力计测试中的最大摄氧量、血脂、身体成分和标准肺活量测定。手臂运动时的最大摄氧量（34.2毫升×千克⁻¹×分钟⁻¹）是腿部运动时（50.2毫升×千克⁻¹×分钟⁻¹）的68%。血清甘油三酯、总胆固醇和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇的平均水平分别为68.5、187和54.5毫克/分升。通过静水称重法测定的体脂百分比平均为12.2%。肺功能研究结果正常。美国大学体育总会击剑运动员的有氧能力仅略高于年龄相仿的活跃男性，且远低于世界级耐力运动员。这些数据表明，击剑运动的成功可能更多地取决于技术、速度和敏捷性，而非高有氧能力和低体脂率。
