Is continuous monitoring of skin surface temperature a reliable proxy to assess the thermoregulatory response in endurance horses during field exercise?

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Most exercise studies use such monitoring methods to assess Tsk only pre- or post-exercise, not during exercise. To illustrate, a recent systematic review of Tsk studies performed in human endurance athletes has reported that only a few studies involved the continuous monitoring of Tsk; only two out of the 45 exercise studies monitored Tsk every 30 s, one study every 180 s, and four studies every 5 min. Most existing equine thermoregulatory exercise studies (n=12 studies) involving Tsk have focused on single point post-exercise measurements using a handheld IRT camera, leaving . . .
