The objective of this study was to assess the effect of relaxing massage on the heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) in young racehorses during their first racing season. In the study, 72 Purebred Arabian racehorses were included. The study was implemented during the full race season. The horses from control and experimental groups were included in regular race training 6 days a week. The horses from the experimental group were additionally subject to the relaxing massage 3 days a week during the whole study. HR and HRV were assumed as indicators of the emotional state of the horses. The measurements were taken six times, every 4-5 weeks. The HRV parameters were measured at rest, during grooming and saddling the horse and during warm-up walking under a rider. The changes of the parameters throughout the season suggest that the relaxing massage may be effectively used to make the racehorses more relaxed and calm. Moreover, the horses from the experimental group had better race performance records.

“…Based on recent studies, the analysis of HRV has been suggested as an appropriate and, furthermore, easy‐to‐use method for the detection of imbalance between ANS function, training and recovery which may result in a decrease of maximal output (Cottin et al . ; Kinnunen et al . ; Matsuura et al .…”

“…Moderate exercise of horses decreased HF power and increased LF power (Voss et al, 2002;Cottin et al, 2005) whereas intensive physical exertion led to decreased LF power and increased HF power (Physick-Sheard et al, 2000;Cottin et al, 2005Cottin et al, , 2006. During high speed exercise the breathing frequency is directly related to the stride frequency.…”

“…During high speed exercise the breathing frequency is directly related to the stride frequency. HF-power in turn is affected by respiratory frequency and thus increases with high speed exercise (gallop) (Physick-Sheard et al, 2000;Cottin et al, 2006). Hence, HRV analysis assessment of autonomous system activity is not suitable for intensive physical exertion and respiratory-gait entrainment (Physick-Sheard et al, 2000).…”

“…However, the latest studies of Cottin et al (2005Cottin et al ( , 2006 suggested the lack of positive effect of this type of training. Although, it is known that in adult mares the interval exercise test was associated with alterations of plasma leptin and ghrelin levels ).…”

The effect of interval vs. continuous exercise on plasma leptin and ghrelin concentration in young Standardbred horses was studied. The experiment was conducted on 27 trotters, in the age between 2 and 3 years. They were divided into two groups according to the type of exercise. Blood samples were collected through jugular venipuncture in the following experimental conditions: at rest, immediately after exercise and 30 minutes after the end of the effort. Plasma leptin and ghrelin concentrations were determined using RIA tests. The continuous exercise induced an increase in plasma leptin concentration whereas the interval type of exercise did not influence the level of this hormone (3.47 ± 0.78 vs. 4.07 ± 0.94 and 2.31 ± 0.15 vs. 2.36 ± 0.21 ng/mL, respectively). The plasma ghrelin concentration measured after the continuous exercise, significantly increased (720 ± 27.4 vs. 814 ± 13.8; p ≤ 0.05) whereas concentration of this hormone assessed after the interval exercise, significantly dropped (982 ± 56.5 vs. 842 ± 35.6 pg/mL; p ≤ 0.05). The changes in plasma ghrelin concentration measured after the end of the effort correlated inversely with blood lactic acid concentration. In conclusion, the obtained results showed that medium-intensive type of exercise, such as trot, interval or continuous, slightly affected plasma leptin level but significantly affected plasma ghrelin concentration in young Standardbred trotters.

Effect of repeated exercise and recovery on heart rate variability in elite trotting horses during high intensity interval training

Abstract: HRV can provide breathing frequency data of Standardbreds during training without any respiratory device. Furthermore, HRV could provide useful makers of the emergence of fatigue states during training.
