METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EVALUATING THE QUALITY OF CHARACTERISTICS OF MOTION OF AN ANIMAL-HUMAN-DYAD

摘要

The invention relates to method for evaluating the quality of characteristics of motion of an animal-human-dyad comprising an animal and a human and using at least one rein for riding the animal, the method comprising obtaining rein tension data indicating the tension in the rein; processing the rein tension data into a frequency spectrum; identifying a prominent frequency component in the frequency spectrum; analysing the frequency spectrum by determining a power spectral density of the frequency spectrum over a frequency range which contains the prominent frequency component; and evaluating the quality of characteristics of motion by comparing the determined power spectral density with a reference value. Further, the invention relates to an apparatus for evaluating the quality of characteristics of motion of an animal-human-dyad, wherein the apparatus comprises a rein tension measuring device, a transmitter unit, a receiving unit, a processing unit and a notification unit.
