 However, continuous high intensity training often results in injuries to the locomotive system. The buoyancy of water reduces the force born on joints; therefore, training in water has been used for rehabilitation purposes both in humans and horses. 
 . In contrast, heart rate, triglyceride and cortisol levels were elevated as a result of water training. Increasing the maximum speed of the water treadmill had no influence on the average heart rate of horses subjected to the training.  ]]> 2022-02-21 10:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/chloestickings/a74vzvkckk1132he/wish/2058533354 chloestickings https://padlet.com/chloestickings/a74vzvkckk1132he/wish/2058537897  Reasons for performing study: Flexor tendon injury may be due to flexor muscle fatigue, contributing to fetlock joint hyperextension and tendon damage. A water treadmill provides resistance training on flexor tendon muscles, which might reduce the risk of tendon injury. Objective: To determine the effect of water treadmill training on the properties of the gluteal and superficial digital flexor (SDF) muscles and on cardiocirculatory response to a standardised exercise test ]]> 2022-02-21 10:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/chloestickings/a74vzvkckk1132he/wish/2058537897 chloestickings https://padlet.com/chloestickings/a74vzvkckk1132he/wish/2058540226  The 13th thoracic vertebrae (T13) showed an increase in FE ROM in high water due to a decrease in AMPmin without a corresponding increase in AMPmax, reflecting a postural change towards increased extension in high water compared with low water. In low water the horse can lower the head and neck, which is known to cause cranial thoracic flexion [9]. Head position was not measured in this study but it is clear that in high water the horse is unable to lower the head much below the level of the scapulohumeral joint (in the case of this particular study) and given that most horses prefer to keep their head some distance above the water level the inability to lower the head may contribute to cranial thoracic extension. ]]> 2022-02-21 10:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/chloestickings/a74vzvkckk1132he/wish/2058540226
