Determination of the Maximal Lactate Steady State Speed of Trotting in Crossbred Native Thai Ponies
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this study aimed to determined maximal lactate steady state speed (MLSS) of the 6 crossbred native Thai ponies (CNTP). Blood lactate concentrations during different velocity of protocols were evaluated. The MLSS in CNTP was 15±1.1 km/h which did not accumulate of blood lactate. Compared mean lactate minimum speed (LMS) and comparison with 10% above LMS, found significant different lactate concentration (P<0.05) at 4, 6, 8 and 10 km. distance indicating that LMS was absolute MLSS (mean MLSS lactate was 1.8±0.2 mmol/L). The average peak blood lactate (LP) was 8.0±1.1 mmol/L. The mean of lactate peak time was 1±0 min. after the exercise test, and mean of the time to base lactate was 71.7±9.8 min. In conclusion, the MLSS of CNTP (15±1.1 km/h) was proposed from this study that would be beneficial for tailoring the exercise program of this type of equids in Thailand.
