... by 3 - 4 beats per minute, enough to mask any changes induced by training. | During exercise | Heart rate during exercise is an invaluable monitor of the cardiovascular system, fitness and performance. The speed at which heart rate recovers after work also reflects cardiovascular fitness. During any exercise session the heart rate can be used to determine when the horse is sufficiently recovered to gallop or canter again. Heart rate monitoring also allows us to train specifically for endurance or speed. This is the basis of interval training, a technique that has been adopted almost universally in human athletics. Since the advent of interval training, records in every human track event have been smashed, as athletes benefited from optimal cardiovascular conditioning. Whilst breaking records may not be goal of most of this article's readers, it is important to appreciate that fatigue is the most common cause of injury in equine athletes.

... output of the heart during exercise. | Heart rate monitors: How do they help endurance horses? | At low heart rates ( <140 beats per minute ) the heart is able to supply the muscles with all the oxygen that they need. The muscles are able to burn fuel very efficiently. This is called aerobic exercise. This type of exercise can be carried out for very long periods without fatigue. When a horse stops after aerobic work his heart rate rapidly returns to normal and he will hardly blow. In endurance competitions the goal is to keep the horse exercising at this level throughout. This allows the very long distances to be covered most efficiently. Keeping heart rate within this aerobic zone ensures rapid heart rate recovery when exercise stops. The end result being that the horse exercises happily for longer and is rapidly released from veterinary checks. For this reason the most successful endurance horse is rarely the fastest. A canny competitor will use a heart rate monitor to keep his hors ...

... anaerobic exercise is much slower, the body is in oxygen debt and the accumulated lactate must be disposed of; this process takes time. This means a long wait before an endurance horse is released from a veterinary gate: Plenty of time for the rider to watch, whilst slower horses arriving much later, wave a cheery "Goodbye" as they leave. During anaerobic exercise the muscles use more fuel and generate more heat. This is not a problem during a 3-minute flat race, but in a 100-mile endurance ride, a horse that spends long periods above his lactate threshold will deplete his energy reserves and dehydrate long before his event is completed. | Because of differences in the ability of muscles to use oxygen and in the heart's ability to supply oxygen, each horse's heart rate response to exercise is different. Each horse also has a different lactate threshold. A rider who uses a heart rate monitor during competition can ensure his horse stays comfortably within his aerobic zone whatever the ...
