Table 1 Summary of the average velocities, heart rates, blood lactate concentrations, pH concentrations, pCO2 concentrations, bicarbonate concentrations, PCV and TP concentrations for the jumping phase, after a 60-min recovery, and the 600 m fitness test. All values are shown as mean ± S.D. § indicates significantly different from jumping

From: Comparison of physiological demands in Warmblood show jumping horses over a standardized 1.10 m jumping course versus a standardized exercise test on a track
