EQN 3250

This course considers the conversion of absorbed nutrients into metabolic fuels and the use of these substrates for work and heat production in horses. Practical application of theoretical knowledge develops an understanding for the basic physiological principles of muscle contraction and fatigue, thermoregulation, and energy utilization under differing exercise intensities, and how these principles can be applied to differential training strategies for equine athletes.
