Activity Title	Effects of exercise on heart rate variability by time-domain, frequency-domain and non-linear analyses in equine athletes
Details	Beat-to-beat alterations in heart rate, termed heart rate variability (HRV), is an intrinsic property that may be affected by distinct physiological states, such as exercise. Exercise-related sudden cardiac arrest remains a significant problem, affecting young athletes who are otherwise healthy with structurally normal hearts. Previously, our group has employed mouse models for studying cardiac electrophysiological properties. Therefore, the use of alternative animal models offers an important and complementary approach. For example, horses show similar heart rate patterns compared to humans, with capacity of increasing from 40 bpm to 200 bpm during exercise. This suggests that horses could be useful for exploring the consequences of exercise-induced electrophysiological changesn Objectives Course Objective Heart rate variability (HRV) is an intrinsic property that reflects autonomic balance and has been shown to be predictive of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. It can be altered by physiological states such as exercise or pathological conditions. However, there are only a handful of studies on HRV in horses. The aim of this study is to compare HRV parameters before and during exercise in horses..
