A 25 Integrative physiology and exercise testing Blood lactate concentration (mmol/L) 16 12 V4 (test 2) = 520 m/min 8 4 V4 (test 1) = 580 m/min 0 220 Heart rate (beats/min) 26 V200 (test 2) = 560 m/min 200 V200 (test 1) = 580 m/min 180 160 500 600 700 Velocity (m/min) Fig. The heart rates and blood lactate concentrations during exercise at 500, 580 and 630 m/min are higher after training associated with the respiratory disease, and V200 and V4 have decreased. From Couroucé,23 with permission. major advantage of the technique used in this study was that the test was easily incorporated into the normal training routines.
42 Measurements of the hormonal response to intense exercise may be more useful for identifying the overtrained horse. 41 The exercise test consisted of 1200 meters pacing in 105 seconds, and then completion of the following 1200 meters in the fastest time possible. 43 The mean peak cortisol concentrations after intense treadmill exercise were 320 nmol/L before overtraining, and had decreased to 245 nmol/L when horses were overtrained. Overtraining should be suspected in horses with evidence of decreased performance in association with decreased bodyweight and plasma cortisol response to a standardized maximal or near-maximal velocity exercise.
