From: Reduced high intensity training distance had no effect on VLa4 but attenuated heart rate response in 2-3-year-old Standardbred horses

Figure 1

High intensity training time and distance. Mean time and distance per training session with heart rate (HR) > 180 bpm in 16 horses subjected either to a control training program (squares) or a reduced (by 30% distance) training program (triangles) from the middle of March as 2-year-olds until December as 3-year-olds. Training was performed as heat training (A), interval training on flat track (B) or uphill interval training (C). * Indicates a difference (P < 0.05) between the control and reduced group. Unfilled dots indicate a significant difference within group from (A) January-June as 2-year-olds, (B) from July-September as 2-year-olds and (C) from January-March as 3-year-olds.
