Effect of Exercise on Biochemical Factors in Healthy and Diseased Horses

Abstract

A clinical study was conducted with an aim to determine the extent of changes in biochemical parameters in healthy horses and those with upper respiratory tract affection both at rest and after exertion. There was a significant change in the level of creatinine kinase in horses with exercise intolerance, poor performance and healthy horses before and after exercise. A significant decrease in the creatinine kinase level was noticed in clinical group (122.8±8.52 IU/L) when compared to that of control group (187.93±14.72 IU/L) before exercise and also there was a significant decrease in the creatinine kinase in clinical group (158.12±15.13 IU/L) when compared to that control group (187.93±14.72 IU/L) after exercise.
