The purpose of this study was to compare the training methods used in two stables and their effects on selected blood parameters and race results. A total number of 36 thoroughbred race horses was examined in two groups, trained by two trainers. Twenty-four horses (group A) were trained at Sluzewiec and the remaining twelve horses (group B) were kept and trained in a private stable. The experiment lasted for five months. The activities of CPK (creatine phosphokinase) and AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and the concentration of LA (lactic acid) were determined. The speed was controlled and recorded by a Garmin GPS system. The analysis of the General Handicap rating demonstrated that the training methods used in stable A were more effective and resulted in better classification of these horses. Training methods in both stables were evaluated and compared on the basis of maximal speeds during training sessions and related post exercise LA concentrations. The main differences between training methods used in both stables concerned the workload and the time of work with the rider. Analysis of the values measured in individual horses from stable B have shown that AST and CK activities were high not only in all young, 2-year-old horses but also in three older ones. This seems to confirm the lack of balance and proper movement coordination in these horses, resulting in high activities of muscle enzymes.
本研究的目的是比较两个马厩所采用的训练方法及其对选定血液参数和比赛成绩的影响。共有36匹纯种赛马分两组接受检查，由两位驯马师进行训练。24匹马（A组）在斯武泽维采接受训练，其余12匹马（B组）饲养并训练于一个私人马厩。实验持续了五个月。测定了肌酸磷酸激酶（CPK）和天冬氨酸转氨酶（AST）的活性以及乳酸（LA）的浓度。速度由佳明GPS系统控制并记录。通用障碍评分分析表明，A马厩所采用的训练方法更有效，这些马匹的分级更高。根据训练期间的最高速度以及训练后相关的乳酸浓度，对两个马厩的训练方法进行了评估和比较。两个马厩所采用训练方法的主要差异在于工作量以及与骑手一起训练的时间。对B马厩中个别马匹所测值的分析表明，不仅所有2岁的年轻马匹，而且还有3匹年龄较大的马匹，其AST和CK活性都很高。这似乎证实了这些马匹缺乏平衡和适当的运动协调性，导致肌肉酶活性较高。
