Abstract

The Rodeo was recognized as a competitive sport during the first decades of the twentieth century, the aim of this work is to show the relationship of the pedestrian who is an athlete and his relationship with the rodeo bulls. The pawn should remain on the animal for eight seconds by holding only one hand on a rope (bull riding) or saddle (riding on horses) according to the riding mode. The other hand must be placed upwards and if it is touched on the animal or on the fence the athlete is disqualified, soon after riding the bull stops jumping. However, most of the studies related to competitive rodeo prioritize the psychological aspects and the injuries that occurred in this sport, not characterizing the profile of physical fitness. This sport is known for the muscular strength, agility, balance and courage with which competitors face trained animals. of its participants, the great difference of strength and weight between athletes and animals.
