RC: working heart rate

[Tivers@aol.com (by way of Monika Smith)]

None of those--not that they don't matter, just have not data run on those
factors. We can do VO2 max and we do efficiency scores--equivalent to VO2
max, but taken at slower rates. We look for horses that tend to run with low
revs and we really don't know what to do yet with those that run at high
revs--I think some of those may do just fine, but don't know yet. So, the low
rev horses, we want to move up into the 140s, sustained. That will make a
dramatic difference in performandce--if we can do itsafely.

Tom, where and how do you do V02 testing with horses? specifically
endurance?  If you're using the human model for elite athletes thats a lot
of testing over a long period of time.  Are you using TBs?

Cheers

Monika
