| Abstract | Changes in the clotting time and fibrinolytic activity of 5 horses were assessed during a showjumping event. Venous blood samples were collected at rest prior to the trial, immediately after it and again 30 min. and 60 min. later. All the samples were immediately centrifuged at 2600 rpm for 10 min. and a Clot 2 coagulometer (SEAC, Italy) was used to assess the Prothrombin Time (PT), activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), Thrombin Time (TT) and the fibrinogen levels of the obtained plasma. The only statistically significant differences observed during the analysis of the results were in the aP1T and fibrinogen values. Bonferroni's multiple comparison test showed that there was a statistically significant decrease (P < 0.05) in the aPTT immediately after the trial. It also showed that there were statistically significant decreases in the levels of fibrinogen 30 min. (P < 0.001) and 60 min. (P < 0.05) afterthe trial compared to those at rest, and 30 min. (P < 0.01) after the trial in comparison with those immediately afterthe trial. The results suggest an increase in blood coagulability similar to the human athlete. | |
| Summary | Proučili smo spremembe časa strjevanja krvi in fibrinolitične dejavnosti pri petih konjih med preskakovanjem ovir. Vzorce venozne krvi smo odvzeli pred tekmovanjem, takoj po tekmovanju, 30 minut po tekmovanju in 60 minut po tekmovanju. Vse vzorce smo takoj po odvzemu centrifugirali 10 minut pri 2600 obratih na minuto. Pri dobljeni plazmi smo s koagulometrom (SEAC Clot 2) določili protrombinski čas (PT), aktivirani parcialni tromboplastinski čas (aPTT), trombinski čas (TT) in vrednost fibrinogena. Pri analizi dobljenih rezultatov smo statistično značilne razlike zaznali samo za aPTT in fibrinogen. Bonferronijev test za primerjavo več vzorcev je pokazal statistično značilno znižanje (P < 0,05) aPTT takoj po tekmovanju. Fibrinogen je v primerjavi s časom pred tekmovanjem izrazito padel po 30 minutah (P < 0.001) in po 60 minutah (P < 0,05), v primerjavi s časom takoj po tekmovanju pa po 30 minutah (P < 0,01). Rezultati kažejo na povečano sposobnost koagulacije krvi, podobno kot je znano pri Ijudeh - športnikih. | |
