🤎 Exercise test part 3: The exercise test at Bosdreef measures both heart rate and lactate in real time, during structured effort to pinpoint your horse’s lactate thresholds: the exact point where training stops building fitness and starts building fatigue.
🏇🏽 Our heart rate monitor gets attached to the tail and tracks (among other things) cardiovascular response throughout the test. Lactate levels are measured via blood samples taken at set intervals, giving a precise picture of how your horse’s body responds to increasing workload.
📊 With these data we build a personalised training program around your horse’s physiology. We give you a tailored schedule based on objective data from your horse, on that day. This test is all about building fitness and injury prevention.
