Fat Adaptation Affects Insulin Sensitivity And Elimination Of Horses During An 80 Km Endurance Ride
The present study tested the hypothesis that insulin sensitivity would be lower in horses adapted to sugar and starch than those adapted to fat and fiber during an endurance race.
Effects Of Oral Potassium Supplementation On Acid-base Status And Plasma Ion Concentrations Of Horses During Endurance Exercise.
To compare effects of oral supplementation with an experimental potassium-free sodium-abundant electrolyte mixture (EM-K) with that of oral supplementation with commercial potassium-rich mixtures (EM+K) on acid-base status and plasma ion concentrations in horses during an 80-km endurance ride.
Antioxidant Supplementation And Subsequent Oxidative Stress Of Horses During An 80-km Endurance Race
This study tested the development of oxidative stress and the effects of antioxidant supplementation in an 80-km ride. A precompetition survey revealed that no competitor would participate without vitamin E supplementation; therefore, 46 horses were paired for past performances and randomly assigned to two groups of 23 each for 3 wk of supplementation before the ride.
Potassium-free Electrolytes And Calcium Supplementation In An Endurance Race
Water and electrolyte supplementation is crucial for the prevention of dehydration and associated complications during endurance races.
Feed To Succeed: Supplements To Help The Endurance Horse
The endurance horse is unique among all other equine athletes. Because of the prolonged demands placed upon the endurance horse with protracted moderate intensity exertion, its performance may be influenced quickly by the quality of its diet.

Speed Associated With Plasma pH, Oxygen Content, Total Protein And Urea In An 80 Km Race
To test the hypothesis that endurance performance may be related quantitatively to changes in blood, we measured selected blood variables then determined their reference ranges and associations with speed during an 80 km race.
Endurance Exercise: Is Potassium Supplementation Beneficial?
Effects of potassium supplementation were evaluated in four studies in endurance horses during races and treadmill exercise.
Carbohydrate Supplementation Of Horses During Endurance Exercise: Comparison Of Fructose And Glucose
To delay the onset of fatigue, endurance horses are often fed at rest stops during races. The resulting increase in blood insulin may adversely inhibit lipolysis. In humans, ingestion of fructose produces a smaller insulin rise than glucose. This study compared glucose and fructose as carbohydrate supplements for endurance horses.
