Physical activity: does long-term, high-intensity exercise in horses result in tendon degeneration?
Journal Article
Birch, H. L., Wilson, A. M., & Goodship, A. E. Physical activity: does long-term, high-intensity exercise in horses result in tendon degeneration?. Journal of Applied Physiology, 105(6), 1927-1933. https://doi.org/10.1152/japplphysiol.00717.2007

This study explores the hypothesis that high-intensity exercise induces degenerative changes in the injury-prone equine superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT), but not in the rarely injured common digital extensor tendon (CDET). The horse represent... Read More about Physical activity: does long-term, high-intensity exercise in horses result in tendon degeneration?.

Descriptive epidemiology of fracture, tendon and suspensory ligament injuries in National Hunt racehorses in training
Journal Article
Ely, E. R., Avella, C. S., Price, J. S., Smith, R. K. W., Wood, J. L. N., & Verheyen, K. L. P. Descriptive epidemiology of fracture, tendon and suspensory ligament injuries in National Hunt racehorses in training. Equine Veterinary Journal, 41(4), 372-378. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516409x371224

Reasons for performing study: While fractures and tendon injuries are known to be important diseases in National Hunt (NH) racehorses during racing, there are no accurate estimates of their incidence in NH training yards. Objectives: To estimate the... Read More about Descriptive epidemiology of fracture, tendon and suspensory ligament injuries in National Hunt racehorses in training.

Evidence that a maternal "junk food" diet during pregnancy and lactation can reduce muscle force in offspring
Journal Article
Bayol, S. A. M., Macharia, R. G., Farrington, S. J., Simbi, B. H., & Stickland, N. C. Evidence that a maternal "junk food" diet during pregnancy and lactation can reduce muscle force in offspring. European Journal of Nutrition, 48(1), 62-65. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00394-008-0760-5

Obesity is a multi-factorial condition generally attributed to an unbalanced diet and lack of exercise. Recent evidence suggests that maternal malnutrition during pregnancy and lactation can also contribute to the development of obesity in offspring....
