Abstract: In this paper we study the geometrical structures on the cotangent bundle using the notions of adapted tangent structure and regular vector fields. We prove that the dynamical covariant derivative on $T^{*}M$ fix a nonlinear connection for a given $mathcalJ$-regular vector field. Using the Legendre transformation induced by a regular Hamiltonian, we show that a semi-Hamiltonian vector field on $T^{*}M$ corresponds to a semispray on $TM$ if and only if the nonlinear connection on $TM$ is just the canonical nonlinear connection induced by the regular Lagrangian.
