Abstract
Aim:
The effect
of two jumping competitions, performed in two consecutive
weekends, on serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK), aspartate
aminotransferase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), urea,
creatinine (CREA) concentrations were evaluated in 12 healthy
jumper horses.
Materials and
Methods:
Blood sampling
was performed before the 1st
day of competition (T0),
at the end of each show (J1,
J2),
on the day after the competition (T1);
the same sampling plan was followed during the second weekend (J3,
J4
and T2).
Results:
One-way repeated measures analysis of variance showed an
increase in CPK at J1
and J2
respect to T0
and at J3
and J4
respect to all other time points (p<0.05). LDH
activity showed an increase at J2
respect to T0,
at J3
respect to T0,
J1,
J2
and at J4
respect to all other time points (p<0.05). AST
values increased at J1
and J2
respect to T0
(p<0.05). A significant increase of CREA was found
at J3
respect to T0,
T1
and J1
and at J4
respect to all other time points (p<0.05). A
decrease in serum urea levels was found at J1
respect to T0,
at J2
and J4
respect to T0
and T1;
at T2
respect to T0
(p<0.05). A positive correlation between urea/CPK
(p=0.0042, r2=0.030),
LDH/CPK (p<0.0001, r2=0.535),
CREA/LDH (p<0.0001, r2=0.263),
CREA/CPK (p<0.0001, r2=0.496)
was observed.
Conclusion:
Our
results suggest that 5 days recovery period between the two
consecutive competition weekends is insufficient to allow muscle
recovery and avoid potential additional stress. The findings
obtained in this study improve the knowledge about metabolic
changes occurring in athlete horse during the competition to
identify muscle alterations following show jumping competitions.
