What does a jug of water have to do with inertia in fencing? π§π€Ί
During growth periods, many fencers suddenly start moving βheavierβ on the piste. Footwork becomes harder to control, movements lose precision, and coordination starts falling apart because of insufficient control of inertia.
A simple modification of footwork drills can help β and all you need is a jug of water. We show how in this reel.
Follow Electrome Lab for more training tips based on physiology and biomechanics.
Electrome Lab
Electrome Lab is a sports science and biomechanics lab specializing in biofeedback-based testing and training.
We help athletes improve performance, optimize movement, and reduce injury risk using data-driven methods.
πΎ WHAT IF YOUR TENNIS LIMIT IS NOT YOUR TECHNIQUE β BUT HOW YOUR BRAIN AND BODY WORK TOGETHER?
This May and June, Electrome Lab brings elite-level sports science to Bulgaria at Fort Noks Tennis Courts, Sunny Beach π§π¬
Using high-precision biomechanical and neurophysiological analysis, we help tennis players:
πΎ increase first-serve ball speed without overloading the body
π§ move faster and more efficiently under pressure
β±οΈ improve reaction and decision-making on court
π identify hidden movement and coordination limitations
π₯ reduce injury risk
Our technology is already used in work with national-level athletes and combines biomechanics, neuroscience, and real-time movement analysis.

Part 1
Letβs train your brain to separate upper- and lower-limb movements π§
Catch this exercise to reduce sharp weapon-arm movements that mirror your footwork and improve blade control accuracy.

Tweak your regular plank to improve joint stability and hit-line control during bladework.
This is where upper body stabilizers make the difference πͺ

Itβs clear that fast arm extension is crucial β both for an unpredictable touch in fencing and a powerful serve in tennis.
But what about the opposite muscle β the one that flexes the arm? πͺπ»
At first glance, it might seem that the biceps should βswitch offβ to avoid interfering with extension. In reality, the biceps activates together with the triceps to stabilize the joint during movement. Without this co-activation, the joint becomes less stable, increasing the risk of hyperextension and injury. Most athletes know someone who has dealt with this.
Stabilizing muscles protect every joint and help maintain long-term performance.
Donβt miss our next reel β weβll show you exercises to train upper body stabilizers π

On the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, we are happy to share an update:
Since launching our Motor-Cognitive Profiling, fencers from three European countries have already been tested:
πΉ Bulgaria
πΉ United Kingdom
πΉ The Netherlands
We aimed to create a product that is valuable regardless of geography, and we are seeing that we are moving in the right direction.
We are proud to be an international project, creating technologies that bring together fencers from different countries and cultures.
Thank you for your trust!
