Water treadmill exercise reduces equine limb segmental accelerations and increases shock attenuation
Abstract Background Equine water treadmills (WTs) are growing in popularity because they are believed to allow for high resistance, low impact exercise. However, little is known about the effect of water height on limb loading. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of water height and spe...
