The effect of girth tension on the athletic performance of racehorses in Australia was examined by exercising horses on a treadmill using a randomised block design, with a girth tension of approximately 5, 10, 15 or 20 kg (Bowers & Slocombe 1999). This study found that with each increase of girth tension during inspiration and expiration at rest, there was a reduction in the distance that the horse travelled before tiring, and the time spent exercising. It was found that girth tensions of less then 10 kg were found to be optimal for performance, although tensions greater then this was typical for racehorses in Australia, as well as being very variable between individual horses and grooms (Bowers & Slocombe 2000).
