Workload of horses on a water treadmill: effect of speed and water height on oxygen consumption and cardiorespiratory parameters

BACKGROUND: Despite the use of water treadmills (WT) in conditioning horses, the intensity of WT exercise has not been well documented. The workload on a WT is a function of water height and treadmill speed. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of these factors on worklo...
