Physiological and behavioral responses of horses during police training

Trailer loading stress in horses: behavioral and physiological effects of nonaversive training (TTEAM).

Resistance in the horse to trailer loading is a common source of stress and injury to horses and their handlers. The objective of this study was to determine whether nonaversive training based on the Tellington-Touch Equine Awareness Method (TTEAM; Tellington-Jones &Bruns, 1988) would decrease loading time and reduce stress during loading for horses with a history of reluctance to load. Ten hor...

resilience training program reduces physiological and psychological stress in police

abstraCt Research suggests that police work is among the most stressful occupations in the world and officers typically suffer a variety of physiological , psychological, and behavioral effects and symptoms. Officers operating under severe or chronic stress are likely to be at greater risk of error, accidents, and overreactions that can compromise their performance, jeopardize public safety, an...

Physiological responses of young thoroughbred horses to intermittent high-intensity treadmill training

BACKGROUND Training of young Thoroughbred horses must balance development of cardiopulmonary function and aerobic capacity with loading of the musculoskeletal system that can potentially cause structural damage and/or lameness. High-speed equine treadmills are sometimes used to supplement exercise on a track in the training of young Thoroughbreds because the horse can run at high speeds but wit...

Designing a Special Training Protocol Based on the Physiological Demands of the Police Station

Background and Aim: Doing military exercises without considering special physiological demands reduces the training efficiency and the inability to achieve goals, as well as the failure to prepare officers for job duties. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to design a special training protocol based on the physiological demands of the Police Station. Methods: The present study was conduct...
