Research On The Construction Of The Index System For The Selection Of Young Equestrian Athletes

Equestrian is the only one event in the Olympic Games where animals(horses)and humans(riders)compete together.After entering the 21 st century,especially since the Beijing Olympic Games,the difference between China’s active sport horses and those of advanced countries and regions has been narrowing through the introduction and cultivation,but the selection and cultivation of athletes(riders)still lags behind obviously.Objective: To establish a scientific material selection index system and provide reference for the scientific material selection of young equestrian athletes by starting from the material selection of young equestrian athletes,early discovery and early cultivation.Methods: Through multiple rounds of surveys,interviews and actual measurements,the test evaluation indexes that have a greater impact on the competitive ability of equestrian athletes were determined based on statistical factor analysis.Results: In this syudy,17 equestrian coaches were investigated by questionnaire.Six primary indexes,11 secondary indexes and 33 tertiary indexes were selected out.Factor analysis was carried out on the test index results of 26 young equestrian athletes,and the weights of seven factors and 17 indexes were determined by combining variance contribution rate and Delphi method.At last,through the method of deviation and percentile,the scoring table of single index and the method and standard of comprehensive evaluation are establishedConclusion: 17 indexes,including shape,function and psychology,have been obtained which have a high influence on the competitive ability of young equestrian athletes.The weight of each factor and index is determined.The single and comprehensive evaluation criteria of each index are established.The effect of establishing evaluation criteria in this study was verified by back substitution test.
