The latest information on racehorse psysiology for use in training will be presented at a three-day course to be held at Rutgers University, New Jersey, next month.
The course, from December 4-6, is being conducted by FaCT Education, of British Columbia, Canada, and Racehorse Conditioning Systems, of Albrightsville, Pennsylvania.
The programme will concentrate on 21st-century racehorse exercise physiology and biochemistry basics, laid out in terms laypeople can understand.
It will focus on applying physiologic theories to real-world testing and training situations.
Organisers of the course, which costs $US500, say they are not teaching racehorse exercise physiology, but the means of testing racehorse physiology, understanding the physiology behind the test, and in-depth discussions of how the tests can be applied to a training programme.
Presentations will include:
- Finding a deeper understanding of aerobic (oxygen dependant) and anaerobic (oxygen independent) muscle fibre development.
- The new understanding of lactate as potential fuel source for working muscles, and how to use lactate information to help test fitness and set training intensities.
- Simple and safe testing methods for measuring lactate and understanding the Lactate Balance Point (LBP) system.
- Quick and easy tests to help measure fitness.
- When, why, how and how often to monitor a racehorse's heart rate.
- Transferring information to computer for in-depth analysis.
