Effect of conditioning training on blood-gas indexes in 2,000 m trot race in Yili horses
[Objective]The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of conditioning training on the blood gas indexes of 2,000 m trot race horses in Yili and to provide data reference for the development of sci-entific conditioning training programs.[Methods]Twelve healthy Yili horses(2 years old)without special trot training were selected for special trot training for a period of 12 weeks,and a trotter was organized 4 weeks dur-ing the training period to record the race results.[Results]The competition performance of the horses in the middle and post training periods was extremely significantly lower(P<0.01)than that in the early training pe-riod those in the excellent and regular groups.pH was significantly lower(P<0.05)in the middle training pe-riod than that in the early training period.Lactic acid(Lac)in middle training was highly significant higher than that in early training(P<0.01).Na+ middle training was highly significant lower than those in early and post training period(P<0.01).Ca2+ post training was highly significant lower than that in early training(P<0.01)and significantly lower than that in middle training(P<0.05).Cl-post training was significantly lower than that in early training(P<0.05)and middle training was highly significant lower than that in the early training period(P<0.01).Anion gap(AG)was significantly higher than those in late training and in the be-ginning of training(P<0.05).Glucose(Glu)was highly significantly higher in late training than those in early training and middle training(P<0.01).Creatinine(Crea)was highly significantly higher in middle training than that in the beginning of training and post training(P<0.01).[Conclusion]The performance,acid-base balance capacity,gas exchange capacity and glucose supply capacity of 2,000 m Yili horses trotter are significantly improved after conditioning training under the present experimental conditions.It is recommended to maintain the ionic level of the organism during training with appropriate electrolyte supplementation.Therefore,blood-gas indexes can be used as a health monitoring tool in equine sports train-ing.
