Purpose: The purpose of this study is to measure the change in abdominal pressure depending on the speed of the horse riding training exercise equipment. Methods: 27 women with an average age of 21.5 years, height of 164.66 cm, weight 55.07 kg, and body mass index of 21.59 kg/m² were divided into 3 groups, 9 subjects in each group, of low, medium, and high-speed training groups. Each training group was given three times a week during 6 weeks using a horse riding equipment for 20 minutes a day. Abdominal pressure was measured using a stabilizer. Results: Each group trained at low, medium, and high speed showed an increase in abdominal pressure(p<.001). However, comparing the difference in abdominal pressure between groups, the increase in abdominal pressure was higher in the medium and the high speed group than in the low speed group(p<.001). Conclusion: In order to increase the abdominal pressure, it was found that the medium and the high speed horse riding exercise training were more effective than the low speed. This increase in abdominal pressure is thought to affect the increased thickness of the deep abdominal muscles, resulting on trunk stabilization.
