Based on the results of the research carried out, the physical condition profile of the ASI Aceh Besar Male Fencing Athletes was classified as adequate in terms of speed and endurance, only the agility section was in the poor category. On the other hand, the physical condition profile of the ASI Aceh Besar Women's Fencing athletes is classified as poor, this can be seen in the data where the overall speed, agility and endurance tests are in the poor category.
