8 reasons to use a heart rate monitor
Here are the 8 reasons why the heart rate monitor
Monitoring the impact of a race on racehorse
Monitoring the impact of a race on a racehorse is core in order to prepare him to the next races in the best conditions possible.
How do racehorses create energy?
In order to better analyse heart rate, recovery and establish an objective diagnosis of your horses’ fitness, it may be useful to investigate the physiological mechanisms involved when the horse athlete is training.
How to improve the racehorse’s recovery?
Recovery is one of the main indicators of a horse’s fitness condition: the better a horse’s recovery.
Racehorse cardio: how to analyse your training data?
A precise knowledge of the evolution of your horse’s heart rate during exercise enables you to optimise its performance and to be alerted to possible sub-clinical pathologies. It also allows you to adapt the exercises as well as possible, in order to improve its cardio and physical performance.
