Biomechanics and Physical Training of the Horse
Autor Jean-Marie Denoixen Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 ian 2014
Dealing mainly with the movements and exercises most frequently used inequine sports, the book answers the needs of trainers and riders seeking toimprove their horses performance and physical fitness by maximising thepotential of the horses entire musculoskeletal apparatus.
Following a brief description of the biomechanics of the musclesunderlying equine movement in general, chapters discuss in turn themuscles of the forelimb, the hindlimb and the trunk. These fundamentalshave direct bearing on the later chapters: a biomechanical analysis ofspecific exercises designed to optimise the performance of the sport horse.
Biomechanics and Physical Training of the Horse is illustrated throughoutby top-quality photographs, diagrams and the authors own beautiful anatomical drawings.
The book will be of lasting value to all professionals dealing with horses:trainers and riders, veterinarians, researchers, physical therapists,educators on equine courses.
