Equine Exercise Physiology
Description
Examine many of the important aspects of conditioning the equine athlete in various disciplines. You will investigate topics including base conditioning, aerobic and anaerobic exercise and recovery, monitoring of conditioning gains, and prevention of health and performance problems. Gain the practical and updated information needed to ensure a safe and effective training program through applied scientific knowledge of exercise physiology. Understanding equine exercise physiology will help you to train a horse to a specific discipline. You will learn to physically assess a horse and design a discipline-specific training and conditioning program using evidence-based scientific research to provide the rationale for your training choices. Currently, I am utilizing what I learned through the Equine Guelph Classes every single day. The Exercise Physiology course has allowed me to better understand and care for the racehorses I work with because of my knowledge about muscles and tissues from the class.
