Heart murmurs in horse athletes
The cardiovascular system can be compared to a huge orchestra, and the presence of any structural defect can alter the functioning of the system and throw the orchestra out of harmony. A heart murmur is added to the initially audible heartbeat and becomes a false note in the orchestra, requiring the trainer to intervene on several levels.
Overtraining and under-performance: early detection
Overtraining is characterized by an imbalance between training activity and recovery periods, resulting in chronic fatigue and impaired performance. Overtraining can result in under-performance and a loss of results for the horse.
Aerobic capacity: how does it impact racehorses?
Aerobic capacity in a racehorse is described as the usage of oxygen to provide the energy required to sustain the activity. To move, a horse must use a combination of metabolic and biochemical processes to generate energy.
The demand for energy in horses is constant, whether it’s to maintain, perform, or develop muscle. Whatever the effort, the horse needs a transfer of chemical energy to respond to mechanical work. To meet this energy demand, numerous metabolisms are activated, and training can help to strengthen these diverse processes.
