抄録

This study aims to examine whether the cognitive function of a proficient equestrian is superior to that of a male of the same age group. A 66-year-old male who has been an equestrian for 53 years since the age of 13 (hereinafter referred to as Male Y) participated in the research in which he was compared with a control group of twenty males in their 60s. Choice Reaction Time tests using the rules of rock-paper-scissors were used to assess their cognitive function. The instrument measured the time it took for participants to choose and press the appropriate button for the pictures displayed on the screen according to each condition of win, lose, and tie. The shorter the time it took for them to press the button, the better their cognitive function was. Five tests were conducted on each participant under each condition. As a result, compared to the mean value scored by the average male in their 60s, the performance of Male Y recorded shorter times under all three conditions. In equitation, an equestrian rides on a horse and aims to achieve the accuracy, dynamics, and beauty of movements. In order to deliver a complete performance together with a horse as one, equestrians are required to have cognitive, judgmental and executive abilities to recognize the condition of their horses and the course and act accordingly rather than physical strength. That is why their cognition function is surmised to have been maintained or improved in regular exercises and competitions.
