Our research on Iranian national team fencers, along with athletes from other countries, revealed specific physical attributes associated with higher performance levels. These traits can be considered indicators of fencing talent and have been consistently highlighted in various studies, emphasizing their significance in the sport. However, fencing is unique in that athletes of all body types can find success through skill and strategy. Beyond physical traits, research across different fields underscores the crucial role of passion, consistency, and mental toughness in achieving success. While physical advantages can be beneficial, a combination of mental resilience and dedication ultimately determines a fencer’s true potential.
