ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE AUTHOR’S COMBINED METHOD OF A SPORTS PAIR`S PHYSICAL TRAINING IN SHOW JUMPING

In the system of the athlete’s training process in show jumping, along with solving the tasks of tactical and technical training, physical training occupies an important place — the development of the physical qualities of the rider and the improvement of the functional preparedness of the horse. Rider’s training is inseparable from the horse’s training: strengthening the body muscles and cardiovascular system of the horse as a participant of a sport pair is a prerequisite for high performance in show jumping. Qualitative and versatile physical training of riders, as well as functional fitness of their horses will contribute to the improvement of the structure and content of motor actions, consolidation of rational technique and formation of technical and tactical skill in show jumping The analysis of scientific and methodological literature made it possible to determine the features of the physical training of a sports pair in show jumping. In the presented study, the peculiarities of the physical training of a sports pair in show jumping — an athlete and a horse — are revealed. The evaluation of the author’s combined method for the development of motor and functional fitness of sports pairs in show jumping on the basis of the Equestrian Sports Club “Tselebnyi Essentuki” was carried out, which reliably confirmed its effectiveness. The fitness of a sports pair was determined by the performance of tests and trials for both riders and horses Sports pairs (riders and horses), including 24 female competitors aged 14—15 years and 24 horses — mares and geldings aged 7—12 years with experience in show jumping competitions, took part in the experiment. The sports pairs were randomly divided into control and experimental groups of 12 pairs each. The control group trained according to the existing official program, and the training schedule of the experimental group additionally included classes to improve the physical qualities of riders and the functional fitness of horses. Based on the results of the study, conclusions were formulated and practical recommendations were given.
