The influence of exercise during growth on ultrasonographic parameters of the superficial digital flexor tendon of young Thoroughbred horses
Journal Article
Moffat, P. A., Firth, E. C., Rogers, C. W., Smith, R. K. W., Barneveld, A., Goodship, A. E., …Van Weeren, P. R. The influence of exercise during growth on ultrasonographic parameters of the superficial digital flexor tendon of young Thoroughbred horses. Equine Veterinary Journal, 40(2), 136-140. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516408x253109

Reasons for performing study: Conditioning by early training may influence the composition of certain musculoskeletal tissues, but very few data exist on its effect during growth on tendon structure and function.

Can exercise modulate the maturation of functionally different immature tendons in the horse?
Journal Article
Kasashima, Y., Takahashi, T., Birch, H. L., Smith, R. K. W., & Goodship, A. E. Can exercise modulate the maturation of functionally different immature tendons in the horse?. Journal of Applied Physiology, 104(2), 416-422. https://doi.org/10.1152/japplphysiol.00379.2007

Tendons can be considered in two functional groups, those contributing to energetics of locomotion and those acting solely to position the limb. The energy-storing tendons in both human and equine athletes have a high frequency of injury with similar...

The effect of early training and the adaptation and conditioning of skeletal tissues
Journal Article
Smith, R. K. W., & Goodship, A. E. The effect of early training and the adaptation and conditioning of skeletal tissues. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cveq.2007.11.005

Horses as equine athletes must be conditioned and trained to optimize the whole animal for the particular type of athletic activity. An extremely high proportion of all injuries in the equine athlete in general, and in the racehorse in particular, ar...
