Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of the present study was to investigate changes in hematological and serum biochemical parameters in poniesexercising 3 times a day. The study included 10 healthy 4- to 5-year-old Jeju crossbred ponies used in riding lessons at an equestrianriding school. Hematology and serum chemistry samples were obtained before the initial lesson and after the last lesson of the day. Thepost-exercise results showed that packed cell volume, white blood cell, red blood cell, hemoglobin, and total protein levels increasedsignificantly (p < 0.05). Serum Na+ also increased significantly (p < 0.01), but serum Ca++ decreased significantly (p < 0.01).
Creatinine kinase, aspartate amino transferase, gamma glutamyl transferase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and bilirubin levelsincreased significantly (p < 0.05), but the glucose level decreased significantly (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the serum cortisol hormonelevel increased significantly (p < 0.01). The results suggest that participating in riding lessons three times a day may result in variousphysiological changes, indicating the presence of exercise-related stress in riding ponies.
