Abstract

Currently, a new direction in equestrian sports is actively developing in Russia – equestrian archery. Training horses to prepare for equestrian archery differs from training for other equestrian disciplines, since the animal performs a high load in a short period of time. The purpose of this study is to establish the effect of the current training system on the horse's body. In the first part of the experiment, we used the group-period method, and in the second part, the balanced group method. In the second part, the horses were formed based on the passage time of the shooting track. According to this indicator, the horses were divided into 4 groups. 1 – passage time from 8 to 10 seconds, 2 from 10 to 12 seconds, 3 from 12 to 14 seconds, 4 from 14 to 16 seconds. The heart rate of all horses during rest and during training did not exceed the average values of these animals. And with physical exertion, it can be seen that the heart rate after passing the "track" increases on average by 5-10 beats from the heart rate after warm-up, and by 25-30 beats from rest. The data obtained allow us to make an assumption that the passage of the "shooting track" increases the pulse, even compared to a 20-minute warm-up. Such an increase in the pulse after the start in show jumping and dressage compared to the state after the warm-up was not noted. The share of the influence of the track passing factor on the pulse change was 62% of all possible factors, with a maximum confidence level of P<0.001, but the influence of the track passing speed factor was only 0.09% and is not reliable. The passage of a 120-meter track in 8-10 and 12-14 seconds gives less cardiological load, and the ranges 10-12 and 14-16 are greater. However, the results obtained are not reliable. Further research will help to better study the effect of training on the horse's body.
