  Author(s): Jagoda Piatkowska*
  
  Maintaining cardiovascular health in horses is crucial for optimizing performance and ensuring overall well-being. Exercise plays a pivotal role in enhancing cardiovascular fitness, influencing adaptations such as increased cardiac output, improved oxygen utilization and enhanced muscular endurance. This mini-review explores the physiological responses of the equine cardiovascular system to different exercise regimens, including endurance training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Diagnostic tools and markers of cardiovascular fitness are discussed, highlighting their role in assessing and monitoring equine cardiovascular health. Practical insights into tailoring exercise programs to individual needs and capabilities are provided, emphasizing the importance of a balanced approach to promoting cardiovascular resilience in horses...
