Exercise places large demands on the equine cardiovascular system which are further complicated by environmental factors. In many respects, performance is limited by fluid and electrolyte stores and the ability to maintain cardiovascular and thermoregulatory stability in the face of severe sweat losses. Studies in the exercising horse have been primarily descriptive or associative, with only a limited number seeking to identify physiologic mechanisms associated with the control of fluid and electrolyte balance. More mechanistic studies are needed to fully understand the integration of the cardiovascular, endocrine, and renal systems in the defense of plasma osmolality, blood volume, and blood pressure.
运动对马的心血管系统提出了很高的要求，而环境因素又使这些要求进一步复杂化。在许多方面，运动表现受到体液和电解质储备以及在大量出汗情况下维持心血管和体温调节稳定性能力的限制。对运动马匹的研究主要是描述性或关联性的，只有少数研究试图确定与体液和电解质平衡控制相关的生理机制。需要更多的机制性研究来全面了解心血管、内分泌和肾脏系统在维持血浆渗透压、血容量和血压方面的整合情况。
