Abstract
This study tested the metabolic demands of a national collegiate equestrian association single discipline athlete. The single discipline competition is composed of a flat phase and an over fences phase. The purpose of this study is to determine the metabolic demands of college level horseback riding. All of the athletes participated in Vo2 max testing in the lab. This testing included a Vo2max bike test and body fat percentage collection. The data collected in the lab was Vo2 max, heart rate, height, weight, and body fat percentage. Each athlete was then tested during a flat and over fences phase. The data collected during this was Vo2, heart rate, carbon dioxide production, and resting energy expenditure. This data was then compared to the data collected in the lab. I hypothesized that the jumping phase would produce a higher Vo2 then the flat phase.
