Get evidence-based guidelines to keeping athletic horses healthy and physically fit! Equine Sports Medicine and Surgery, 3rd Edition, provides a comprehensive guide to exercise physiology and training within a clinical context, along with a detailed review of all diseases affecting horses participating in racing and competition. Not only does this text discuss the physiological responses of each body system to exercise, but it covers nutritional support, the prevention of exercise-induced disorders and lameness, and modification of training regimens. New to this edition are topics such as drug effects on performance and the use of cloud-based technologies for monitoring performance, as well as new content on exercise physiology, welfare, conditioning, farriery, behavior, and vision. Written by an expert team of international authors, each print purchase of this this authoritative, all-in-one resource comes with an ebook!
Key Features
- NEW! Chapters in this edition include:
- History of Equine Exercise Physiology
- Welfare of Equine Athletes in Sport and the Social License to Operate
- The Connected Horse (focusing on innovative, cloud-based technologies used to monitor athletic horses)
- Conditioning of the Equine Athlete
- Principles of Sport Horse Farriery
- Epidemiology and Control of Infectious Respiratory Disease in Populations of Athletic Horses
- Behavior and Behavioral Abnormalities in Athletic Horses
- Vision and Disorders of Vision in Performance Horses
- Detection of Drug Use in Athletic Horses
- Drug Effects on Performance of the Equine Athlete
- Comprehensive coverage is based on sound research and evidence-based practice and provides an understanding of the physiologic processes underlying the responses of horses to exercise and physical conditioning — from musculoskeletal and respiratory disorders to nutrition and physical rehabilitation.
- International perspective on equine athletics includes guidelines pertinent to different geographic areas and racing jurisdictions.
- More than 1,000 images include medical illustrations and clinical photos depicting equine anatomy, testing, and treatment scenarios, as well as radiographic, ultrasonographic, CAT, and MRI imaging to support understanding and diagnosis.
- Coverage of abnormalities of the upper airway is now divided into two chapters: Disease of the Nasopharynx and Diseases of the Larynx and Trachea.
- Coverage of diseases of the heart is divided into two chapters: Arrhythmias and Abnormalities of the Cardiac Conduction System and Structural Heart Disease, Cardiomyopathy, and Diseases of Large Vessels.
- eBook version, included with print purchase, gives you the power to access all the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
