This study examined the effects of hyperhydration, exercise-induced dehydration, and oral
fluid replacement on physiological strain of horses during exercise-heat stress. On three …

Effects of dehydration on thermoregulatory and metabolic responses were studied in six
horses during 40 min of exercise eliciting approximately 40% of maximal O2 consumption …

The performance horse is frequently subjected to periods of heat stress, usually as a result
of the metabolic heat production of exercise, and also in situations of prolonged transport or …

In a cross-over design, 7 horses received∼ 26 litres (6% bodyweight) of isotonic fluid or
nothing (control). Horses undertook 98 min of treadmill exercise at intensities eliciting 20 …

Nine adult riding horses performed on a treadmill a competition exercise test (CET) and 24 h
later a standardised exercise test (SET) at mean temperature 28° C and relative humidity …

Kingston, Janene K., Raymond J. Geor, and Laura Jill McCutcheon. Rate and composition of
sweat fluid losses are unaltered by hypohydration during prolonged exercise in horses. J …

In the present study, the main objective was to study factors affecting postexercise voluntary
water intake in horses. Four Standardbred horses (mean±se bwt 500±8 kg) were used to …

Endurance exercise is accompanied by loss of body water and electrolyte stores, primarily in
sweat (Carlson, 1983; Sawka, 1990). Performance can generally be maintained in the face …

The effects of dehydration and 40 min of exercise at approximately 40% of maximal O2
consumption on plasma volume (PV) and blood volume (BV) were studied in six horses …

The second day of a 3‐day event is the most physically demanding of the 3 days. If this is
performed under hot and humid environmental conditions, detrimental effects on …
