Topic:Exercise Physiology
Exercise physiology in horses involves the study of the physiological responses and adaptations of horses to physical activity. This field examines how exercise impacts various systems in the equine body, including the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, and metabolic systems. Researchers focus on understanding how these systems interact during different types and intensities of exercise, and how they contribute to performance and recovery. Key areas of interest include the assessment of aerobic and anaerobic capacity, muscle fiber composition, energy metabolism, and thermoregulation. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the mechanisms of exercise physiology in horses, with an emphasis on performance optimization, training regimens, and the prevention of exercise-related disorders.
Risk factors for epistaxis on British racecourses: evidence for locomotory impact-induced trauma contributing to the aetiology of exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage. The proposed biological mechanisms for exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) are many and varied. Better knowledge of risk factors should lead to achievable measures to reduce the incidence. Objective: To identify risk factors associated with epistaxis following racing in UK Thoroughbreds, to gain possible insights into the pathogenesis of the condition and to investigate the association between epistaxis and race finishing position. Methods: The association of epistaxis occurring on UK racecourses between 1996 and 1998 with a wide range of race-, horse- and start-level variables was e...
