Exhaustion occurs in most equestrian sports, but it is more frequent in events that require
sustained endurance work such as endurance racing, three-day eventing, trail riding, and …

Humans differ from African great apes in numerous respects, but the chief initial difference
setting hominins on their unique evolutionary trajectory was habitual bipedalism. The two …

Simple Summary Heat stress is an important performance and welfare issue for exercising
horses. The process of thermoregulation is crucial for equine athletes. Excessive metabolic …

The objective of this study was to determine the composition and extent of sweat losses
during submaximal exercise under hot and humid conditions and to compare these findings …

The environment animals have to cope with is a combination of natural factors such as
temperature. Extreme changes in these factors can alter homeostasis, which can lead to …

Sweating represents the primary mechanism for thermoregulation in the horse and is one of
the crucial factors limiting exercise capacity. This article provides an overview of the …

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of different environmental
conditions on physiological response to exercise. Four winter acclimatised, nonheat …

The objectives of this study were to: 1) determine incremental and total sweat fluid and ion
losses during and following (a) exercise training and (b) a treadmill Speed and Endurance …

It has been proposed that humans' exceptional locomotor endurance evolved partly with
foraging in hot open habitats and subsequently about 2 million years ago with persistence …

The effect of humid heat acclimation on thermoregulatory responses to humid and dry
exercise-heat stress was studied in six exercise-trained Thoroughbred horses. Horses were …
