Challenging activities on the horse improve the child’s balance, muscle control, coordination, and posture. The horse serves as a motivator and children benefit in many areas including self-esteem, self-confidence, emotional stability, and self- image. This paper also looks at the other applications of horse therapy, including therapy for veterans, elders, foster care children and children with heart disease. This paper discusses the limitations in the studies that have been done, and the reasons that horse therapy is not yet a mainstream treatment. Despite some limitations in the research, there is ample evidence to conclude that horse therapy is an effective treatment for children with disabilities.
The different training methods and training outcomes is large, but basic animal training concepts work for all forms of horse training. The first goal for training is to make a horse safe for humans to ride. The initial goal of most types of training is to create a horse that is safe for humans to handle. Horses are much bigger and stronger than humans, so they must be taught proper manners to not hurt a human. Horses are different from humans and do not have the same thinking ability as humans.We as people must think about how to use the intelligence of the horse to bring it to an understanding of what we want it to do.
This helped people at that time find food during these weather conditions. The horses were able to find food underneath the ice and snow which were covering the steppes at that time. Also the horses were able to help these people find their food on journeys. The horses were also very good for trade because their value increased and they were much more efficient than the use of carts because they were stronger. Horses were very important commodities on trade routes.
The use of animals in therapy for mental health patients has been documented as early as 1792. Animal-assisted therapy is described as one or more companion animal being present in the therapy room during a session. Studies showing the use of animals in therapy generate positive results in the treatment of psychological and physical symptoms in diverse patients. The use of horses as an approach to animal-assisted therapy has used to treat a variety of psychological problems.1 This is because the horse evokes some sort of emotion in everyone and for many the response is powerful, which makes the horse a perfect candidate for psychotherapy. Equine Assisted Experiential Therapy is defined as a psychotherapeutic program or session using 1 or more horses as part of the psychotherapeutic team.2 Qualitative and quantitative results have been found to prove that horses do indeed improve patients psychological problems in the research preformed by Bradley Klontz, Alex Bivens, Deb Leinart and Ted Klontz.

It has been commonly used in different subject groups and practical settings. When and how is it used? What is submaximal testing,? The ability to maintained a healthy lifestyle with the help of doing aerobic exercise is very important for the performing of daily living and activities.The aerobic capacity can be tested to measure the capacity of the individual on the amount of oxygen required (VO2) for the ability to perform submaximal aerobic exercises.Unlike anaerobic power, skeletal muscular strength and the amount of energy generated or produced by the anaerobic metabolic pathway that include ( ATP-PCr and anaerobic glycolytic energy systems )which does not require oxygen, whereas aerobic power refer to the ability of the heart, lungs, blood, muscles, and other organs to transport and utilize oxygen via the aerobic metabolic pathways.
Amazing Horses By: Hannah Waddle Horses are amazing animals. They are used for all sorts of things. They help with farm work; they can carry us places, and compete with us. Horses can be used for all sorts of sports. The Two main types of riding styles people use are English and western.
As result of being stronger, I am able to increase my performance in sports. I also have more endurance to perform everyday tasks. While I strengthen my muscles and bones, it also will help prevent any injuries to myself. Weight lifting makes me feel better about myself. By lifting, I feel like I am benefiting myself in mind, and body.
The muscle groups which are attached to the ligaments and spine create movement in the trunk and pelvis areas. Belly dance tones these muscles and helps the body maintain flexibility, safely and effectively; again due to “natural movements”. While performing the dance, the movements of hip drops, circles, figure eights and shimmies put the joints and ligaments in the lower back and hips in a full range of gentle repetitive motion. This movement helps increase the flow of synovial fluid in these joints. When these movements are done properly they ca be helpful in relieving stress to the back.
It is essential for long distance runners to have high muscular endurance so they can compete in races such as the marathon. To test muscular endurance you could do the abdominal curl test, this test requires the participant to perform sit ups in time with a recorded sequence of beeps. The test is complete when the participant can no longer keep up with the recording. Cardio Vascular Endurance Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart to provide oxygen to the heart during long periods of exercise. Cardiovascular endurance is important because you heart controls the oxygen flow to your muscles directly affecting performance The type of athlete that requires good cardiovascular endurance is similar to muscular endurance; an example would be a footballer.
Unfortunately, in highly-trained individuals, such as the athlete in question, this result may be difficult to obtain. However, studies have shown that strength training, altitude exposure and training in a warm or hot climate are three factors which have the potential to further improve a highly trained endurance athlete’s RE (Saunders, 2004). 1. Strength Training – specifically plyometric or explosive strength training, aims to enhance the muscles ability to generate power. To accomplish this, the stretch-shortening cycle is emphasised – exercises such as bounding, leaping and hopping are utilised.
