Joint & tendon.
Muscle.
Aerobic training
Increase stock volume of the
blood.
Increase the maximum heart
rate to 70-90% in case of the
horse.
Increase oxygen capacity.
Increase energy storage.
Increase buffer capacity.
Enhancing enzymatic activity
(warming up).
Anaerobic training
Increase training load (Speed &
Frequency or Distance) (fatigue
after 800 m so increase the
distance to 1000 m).
Avoiding training related
anorexia by regular light
training daily.
Blood Cortisol response decrease with excessive
exercise in which the response of hypothalamus
to the competition decrease and this syndrome
can’t diagnose by routine hematological or
biochemical tests.
Hematological parameter cannot be used as a
guide to fitness.
Feeding before taking blood sample lead to
increase in PCV and plasma protein and serum
potassium.
Chronic inflammation cause bone marrow
suppression and then lead to anemia.
Giving of bicarbonate salt to the horse after
race is with dubious value because excessive
exercise will lead to decrease the chloride due
to sweating and retention of bicarbonate which
lead to alkalosis.
And there is a doubt that high bicarbonate as a
buffer prevents tying up.
Among 131 racing horse with poor performance
show normal hematological parameters.
Blood gas analysis.
Lactate clearance test.
Electrolyte analysis.
ECG.
This value express the ability of the horse to
transport oxygen from atmosphere to the
skeletal muscles and then to mitochondria and
use it to generate new ATP.
Respiratory acid & base balance.
Oxygen consumption = 1.6 × HR max – 65
Respiratory/Blood Gases Na+, K+, Cl-, pH, PCO2,
tCO2, HCO3-, anion gap, base excess, PO2, SO2,
tHb
that occurs physiologically soon after finishing
of racing but if persistent give indication about
poor performance.
Has important role in skeletal muscle
contraction as well as cardiac one.
Important as muscle buffer.
For normal physiological function of all body
cells.
Transfer of action potential though the nerve
fibers.
Systems involved in racing performance.
Challenges facing trainer and how to overcome?
Types of training.
Improve fitness.
Fitness tests.
