A fencer, attempting a parry against a fast attack, consistently deflects the opponent's blade late, resulting in lost points. Which mechanism most likely explains this timing issue?

💡 Explanation

Increased sensorimotor feedback delay causes the fencer to react slower, because it takes longer for tactile information from the opponent's attack to be processed and translated into a motor response. Therefore, the parry is mistimed, rather than due to blade properties or opponent speed.
