Introduction:

The training of offensive tactics in fencing athletes (13-15 years old) should focus on the development of capacities to study the opponents, anticipate surprise attacks, and create emerging tactical plans.

Aim:

A theoretical assessment of considerations and definitions was performed to determine the offensive tactical training of 13-15-year-old fencers.

Methods:

The scientific literature linked to specific professional competencies of the athlete’s offensive tactical training was reviewed in English and Spanish (Google Scholar). The information was classified and arranged depending on the main topic.

Results:

The evaluation of considerations and definitions of terms related to offensive tactics led to the design of a methodological matrix of dependent variable offensive tactical training, dimensions (perceptive and cognitive), indicators, sub-indicators, scales, and categories for evaluation.

Conclusion:

The evaluation of considerations and definitions about this topic helped determine the dimensions to develop the operability of offensive tactical thinking, and enhance the preparedness of 13-15-year-old fencers.
