Este estudo pretende investigar a forma como é que a relação entre cavaleiro-cavalo
influencia a performance na disciplina de Saltos de Obstáculos, em Portugal, e de que forma a
relação o flow traço do cavaleiro pode influenciar esta relação entre relação cavaleiro-cavalo e
performance. Para tal será recolhida uma amostra portuguesa de cavaleiros que já tenham
realizado provas nesta disciplina, de forma a avaliar a sua perceção em relação ao objetivo do
estudo.
Esta amostra é constituída por139 participantes e os dados foram recolhidos on-line.
Verificou-se um impacto positivo da relação cavaleiro- cavalo na performance do
conjunto (cavaleiro e cavalo), ainda que a variabilidade explicada seja baixa. Contrariamente
ao proposto, verificou-se que também o flow disposicional não apresenta um impacto positivo
na performance do conjunto. Relativamente à comparação dos contextos amador /profissional,
foi possível observar-se que existem diferenças nos níveis de flow disposicional, mas não na
relação Cavaleiro-Cavalo.
This research aim to study de way relationship between horse and rider influences performance in Show Jumping in Portugal, and how the rider’s flow trait can influence the relation between the relationship horse/ rider and performance. In order to make these findings, this research will consist in horse-riders who have already competed in Show Jumping in Portugal, so it will be possible to understand their perception about this matter. There are 139 participants and the data was collected on-line. It was verified that the relationship between horse and rider has, in fact, positively influenced performance. Dispositional flow doesn’t have a positive impact to the horse-rider relationship. When it comes to amateur/professional context, it was also verified that dispositional flow was observed more often in professional riders when compared to amateur riders, but not the relationship between horse and rider.
