Abstract: | Tyler, Catherine M., Lorraine C. Golland, David L. Evans,David R. Hodgson, and Reuben J. Rose. Changes in maximum oxygenuptake during prolonged training, overtraining, and detraining inhorses. J. Appl. Physiol. 81(5):2244-2249, 1996.Thirteen standardbred horses were trained asfollows: phase 1 (endurance training, 7 wk),phase 2 (high-intensity training, 9 wk),phase 3 (overload training, 18 wk), andphase 4 (detraining, 12 wk). Inphase 3, the horses were divided intotwo groups: overload training (OLT) and control (C). The OLT groupexercised at greater intensities, frequencies, and durations than groupC. Overtraining occurred after 31 wk of training and was defined as asignificant decrease in treadmill run time in response to astandardized exercise test. In the OLT group, there was a significantdecrease in body weight (P < 0.05).From pretraining values of 117 ± 2 (SE)ml · kg1 · min1,maximal O2 uptake(O2 max) increased by15% at the end of phase 1, and when signs of overtraining werefirst seen in the OLT group,O2 max was 29%higher (151 ± 2 ml · kg1 · min1in both C and OLT groups) than pretraining values. There was nosignificant reduction inO2 max until after 6 wk detraining whenO2 max was 137 ± 2 ml · kg1 · min1.By 12 wk detraining, meanO2 max was134 ± 2 ml · kg1 · min1,still 15% above pretraining values. When overtraining developed, O2 max was notdifferent between C and OLT groups, but maximal values forCO2 production (147 vs. 159 ml · kg1 · min1)and respiratory exchange ratio (1.04 vs. 1.11) were lower in the OLTgroup. Overtraining was not associated with a decrease inO2 max and, afterprolonged training, decreases inO2 max occurredslowly during detraining. |
