SUMMARY:

Eventing is a high demanding equestrian sport, whose training must allow for a good physical and cardiovascular conditioning. Due to this, any interruption that might occur during the training season can impact the physical conditioning of the horses.  The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of training interruptions on the annual macrocycle training of eventing horses, through the main physical conditioning parameters: V₂₀₀ and VL₄; AST, CK and LDH enzymatic profile; uric acid, glucose and lactate serum profile; and evaluation of the athletic performance in training sessions and eventing competitions. Eighteen horses will be evaluated, all from the Brazilian Sport Horse breed and boarded at the Brazilian Cavalry Army. The study will follow a prospective cohort model, with all horses starting the year with specific training for eventing competitions. All training sessions and competitions will be monitored, with their frequency and type of training being recorded. In case a training interruption occurs, the motive and duration of the stop will also be recorded. Throughout the year, the horses will be split into three groups, based on their training records: Group 1 (animals with no training interruptions), Group 2 (involuntary interruptions – due to health issues) and Group 3 (voluntary interruptions – due to any other causes). The horses will be adapted to the high velocity treadmill and then will take part on the first standardized effort test, to establish the initial V₂₀₀ and VL₄ parameters. The treadmill test will be repeated at the end of the training season, in order to allow the comparison of all parameters after a year of training. The parameters analyzed also include heart rate, blood lactate, AST, CK, LDH, uric acid and glucose. The results will be submitted to normality and homogeneity test, and then analyzed as a split-splot design with the groups evaluated in the parcels and the treadmill tests in the sub-parcels. The mean values will be compared through the Tukey test at 5% significancy level. The competition results and interruption duration will be submitted to Pearson correlation analysis, in relation to VL₄ e V₂₀₀ values obtain during the treadmill tests.
