A PhD study led by Nottingham Trent University’s School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences and co-funded by An Eventful Life, utilises An Eventful Life’s video footage of international and grass roots eventing competitions in the UK, Australia and New Zealand as background data for their research.
The researchers hope to evaluate the factors that contribute to successful jump clearance and apply their findings in coaching scenarios and to influence improved jump design.
As a part of the study, a survey has just been published which we’d love people to get involved with. Whether you’re an amateur or professional rider, coach, enthusiast, supporter or never even ridden at all, your feedback could be valuable for this research
You do need to be over 18, have reasonable internet connection and 20-25 minutes to spare
You will be presented with a random series of videos of riders approaching cross country jumps, with the ending cut off. After watching each cut video, please state what you think the outcome was. You will get a score at the end of the survey
You will also be asked to answer some questions regarding your age, gender, eventing experience and occupation. You may remove your data from the study at any point up until the 1st March 2020 and any data you do provide will be stored in accordance with GDPR and University regulations.
The survey can be accessed HERE
