Group housing increases alertness and social interaction compared to traditional single stabling in two-year-old sport horse stallions during pretraining by L. Kroschel, F. Pilger, J. Aurich, C. Nagel, C. Aurich

“…Stallions were 24 months old and housed either in a group stable (Group 24, n = 9) or in individual boxes (Box 24, n = 10), or they were 30 months of age and housed in individual boxes (Box 30, n = 10). Cortisol, heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), body development, injuries and selected behaviour patterns were analysed (1) at transfer from pasture to stable and (2) thereafter, repeatedly during pretraining. …”

Short Report: Estimating Blood Lactate Dynamics from Sweat Lactate and Sweat Rate After High-Intensity Exercise – A Pilot Regression-Based Study by Hattori M, Yashiro K

“…Sweat lactate (SWL) and sweat rate (SWR) have been explored as non-invasive alternatives, but their capacity to estimate BL dynamics after short-term high-intensity exercise remains unclear.Purpose: This pilot study aimed to evaluate whether BL dynamics can be predicted using a regression model based on the time-series patterns of SWL and SWR measured by wearable sensors.Methods: Five healthy male athletes (three sprinters and two endurance runners) performed a 30-second Wingate anaerobic test. …”
