Equine Exercise Physiology: The Science of Exercise in the Athletic Horse

Equine Exercise Physiology: The Science Of Exercise In The Athletic Horse Pdf

By Kenneth W. Hinchcliff, Raymond J. Geor and Andris J. Kaneps

Equine Exercise Physiology: The Science of Exercise in the Athletic Horse PDF provides the most up-to-date, in-depth coverage of the basic sciences required for an understanding of the physiology of the equine athlete. Equine Exercise Physiology: The Science of Exercise in the Athletic Horse Pdf book provides a thorough grounding in the basic physiology of each body system and in particular the responses of each body system to exercise and training. It is the ideal resource for those interested in equine exercise physiology: undergraduate and post-graduate students in exercise science, comparative physiology, biology and veterinary science; veterinary students; horse trainers and owners of sport horses; journalists writing in equine specialty magazines; and interested lay persons.

Topics include: the musculoskeletal system and physiology; tendon, ligament and joint physiology; the biomechanics of locomotion; respiratory, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems; metabolism and nutritional management; thermoregulation; hematology and immunology
Written by the top experts currently working in the area of equine exercise physiology
Designed for those seeking comprehensive information in a digestible format about the basic science of equine exercise physiology, rather than the clinical aspects
Over 250 high quality illustrations that amplify and illustrate important points
Information available in a readily accessible format.
