<![CDATA[Background. Technically, preparation of fencers is linked to working on their physical structure in addition to the functional skills required to perform certain tasks, such as athletic stability, flexibility, agility, reaction speed, and focus to evade or attack an opponent's weapon. Therefore, it requires a great deal of physical ability to help the athlete achieve their goal and secure victory during a match. Objectives. Goal was identifying effect of weight training program on physical efficiency of fencing players. Method. Functional competence of fencers And from Research hypotheses there are statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-test measurements between the experimental and control groups in the physical variables, in favor of the experimental group, there are statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-test measurements between the experimental and control groups in the functional variables, favoring the experimental group. The research sample was selected purposively from fencers registered with the federation affiliated with the clubs (Wasit, Al-Kut, and Al-Hay), totaling (20) fencers. They were divided into two groups: the first, a control group consisting of (10) fencers, and the second, an experimental group consisting of (10) fencers, in addition to two fencers on whom the pilot study was conducted, bringing the total number of fencers in the sample to (22). Results. Results proved that the physical program with weights has a positive effect on the functional state of the fencing players, which is both systolic and diastolic blood pressure maximum oxygen consumption resting pulse. Conclusion. Physical program with weights does not develop the element of speed to the required extent, physical program with weights has a positive effect on the elements of agility and speed-strength, as proven by the results of this study.]]>
