The goal is to learn if a Functional Corrective Training (FCT) exercise program improves posture, core muscle endurance, jumping ability, and reaction time in adolescent fencers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the FCT program improve trunk muscle endurance? Does the FCT program enhance athletic performance, such as jump height and reaction time? Researchers will compare adolescent fencers who receive an 8-week FCT exercise program to those who continue regular training only. Participants will: Be assigned randomly to either an exercise group (FCT) or a control group Undergo Functional movement screen, endurance, jumping, and reaction time assessments before and after the 8-week period Continue their usual fencing training throughout the study The study will help determine whether adding corrective exercises to standard training can improve function and performance in young athletes.
