    Myopathie atypique des équidés : gestion automnale

    Full text link
    La myopathie atypique des équidés est une intoxication d’apparition soudaine, mortelle dans la majorité des cas. Elle est causée par l’ingestion d’hypoglycine A (HGA) et de méthylènecyclopropyle-glycine (MCPrG), deux molécules présentes dans plusieurs arbres du genre « Acer » (les érables). Bien que ces toxines soient présentes dans toutes les parties des arbres concernés1, les cas d’intoxication ont très généralement lieu à l’automne et au printemps, respectivement à la suite de l’ingestion des samares tombées au sol et des plantules. Les signes cliniques principaux de cette intoxication sont décrits dans cet article. Voici quelques actions à mettre en oeuvre pour réduire le risque automnal.SAM

    peer reviewedWarm-up is a standard component of exercise preparation, intended to lower the risk of injury and improve performance. Comprehensive evidence-based guidelines per discipline are missing. This scoping review aimed to describe the physiological effects and strategies of active warm-up in horses according to different equestrian disciplines. The search strategies identified 479 papers for review. After application of selection criteria, 23 articles published from 1996 to January 2024 were included of which 12 discussed the effects of warm-up on physiological parameters and 11 discussed warm-up strategies in different disciplines. As shown in humans, warm-up enhanced aerobic capacity and increased blood and muscle temperatures, independently from its intensity. Riders emphasized the importance of warm-up to prepare horses for physical work and to increase their reactiveness to aids. A canter or trot was the preferred gait in elite or non-elite dressage horses, respectively, while the walk was in show jumping horses. Warm-up duration and intensity increased with increasing competitive level, but a longer and/or more intensive warm-up did not affect the final score. Dressage riders warmed up their horses for a longer time compared to show jumping riders. Future studies should objectively establish the most profitable warm-up strategies per equestrian discipline and level
