Lactate-driven equine conditioning programmes
2011
Campbell, Elaine H
Equine conditioning programmes are rarely driven by science. Indeed, the scientific literature on conditioning responses often refers to conventional technique rather than physiological driving parameters. This, alongside poor classification of conditioning protocols, has reduced the possibility of comparative data analysis. Recent interest into lactate-driven conditioning programmes has driven this review which provides a summary of equine protocols used to date and their responses. Key areas identified for further standardisation and/or investigation include (1) the treadmill acclimation protocol and markers of its efficiency, (2) the design and frequency of standardised exercise tests used, and (3) the interpretation of data for the development of effective and realistic conditioning programmes.
