  • Physiological Demands of Eventing and Performance Related Fitness in Female Horse Riders
    Physiological Demands of Eventing and Performance Related Fitness in Female Horse Riders J. Douglas A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the University’s requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2017 University of Worcester ! DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is a presentation of my own original research work and all the written work and investigations are entirely my own. Wherever contributions of others are involved, this is clearly acknowledged and referenced. I declare that no portion of the work referred to in this thesis has been submitted for another degree or qualification of any comparable award at this or any other university or other institution of learning. Signed: Date: I ! ABSTRACT Introduction: Scientific investigations to determine physiological demands and performance characteristics in sports are integral and necessary to identify general fitness, to monitor training progress, and for the development, prescription and execution of successful training interventions. To date, there is minimal evidence based research considering the physiological demands and physical characteristics required for the equestrian sport of Eventing. Therefore, the overarching aim of this thesis was to investigate the physiological demands of Eventing and performance related fitness in female riders. Method: The primary aim was achieved upon completion of three empirical studies. Chapter Three: Anthropometric and physical fitness characteristics and training and competition practices of Novice, Intermediate and Advanced level female Event riders were assessed in a laboratory based physical fitness test battery. Chapter Four: The physiological demands and physical characteristics of Novice level female event riders throughout the three phases of Novice level one-day Eventing (ODE) were assessed in a competitive Eventing environment.

  • Coaching Courses Frequently Asked Questions
    Coaching courses Frequently Asked Questions What do I need to have before I start on an Equestrian coaching pathway? We would recommend any prospective equestrian coach gain significant experience and engage in recognised certificated programmes to give the basics in horse care and management. There are a range of options for this, including the Pony Club tests, BHS Care and Lunge components of the Grooms pathway, ABRS range of tests, rosettes and awards, WBD / SVQ / City and Guilds qualifications in Horse care (e.g. City and Guilds qualification) ; racing industry qualifications (see here) available through colleges and other education providers. These courses and tests will give the grounding in horse care and safety to ensure you can assure the coaching practices you develop through the pathway are as safe as they can be, looking after the welfare of the horse as well as the participant. What are the differences between the British Horse Society (BHS) qualifications and Equestrian Coaching Certificate pathway endorsed by UK Coaching Certificate (UKCC)? The BHS pathway provides a rounded programme of assessment encompassing riding, horse care and management along with teaching and training practices. This pathway is assessment only and has no taught element delivered directly by the BHS Head Office although BHS Approved Riding Centres and Accredited Professional Coaches do offer training. You can therefore choose your own method of learning, whether that be from text books, practical experience or class-based learning. BHS would actively encourage you to gain as much practical experience as you can while progressing through the stages combined with text books and taught courses which are available via colleges, at equestrian centres and are offered by freelance coaches.
