Motivos de Eliminación en Competencias de Enduro Internacional, Categoría Jinete Adulto, en Chile (2007-2014)

Abstract

RESUMENEl objetivo del estudio fue determinar la frecuencia de los motivos de eliminación en competencias de enduro internacional (CEI) de 80-90, 120 y 160 km, categoría adulto, realizadas en Chile en el periodo 2007-2014. La información fue tomada de la base de datos de la Federación Ecuestre Internacional, registrándose la distancia y número de equinos participantes, así como aquellos que finalizaron y aquellos que fueron eliminados de la carrera. En estos últimos se consideró los caballos retirados, descalificados y los que fallaron en calificar. Además, se registró la velocidad promedio de los ganadores para cada distancia. Se analizaron 99 carreras (42 de 80-90 km, 41 de 120 km y 16 de 160 km), en las que participaron 919 caballos, donde 564 (61.4%) finalizaron con éxito las carreras. El 3.2% de los caballos fue descalificado, 4.1% retirado y 31.3% falló en calificar. De estos últimos, 25.4% fue eliminado por claudicación, 4% por razones metabólicas y 2% por otras razones. Se encontró asociación entre la distancia y el porcentaje de caballos que fallaron en calificar por claudicación (p<0.05) siendo mayor en carreras de 120 y 160 km. Asimismo, la velocidad promedio del ganador fue menor en carreras de mayor distancia (p<0.001). Se concluye que en Chile, salvo el porcentaje de descalificación, el porcentaje total y de cada uno de los motivos de eliminación en CEI de 80-160 km es bajo.Palabras clave: equino, claudicaciones, metabólico, larga distancia, carrera ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to determine the frequency of reasons for elimination in international endurance competitions (IEC) of 80-90, 120 and 160 km in Chile in the period of 2007-2014. Records were obtained from the International Equestrian Federation database. Registered data included the distance and number of participating horses as well as those that successfully completed the race and those eliminated. In the latter

Hydroelectrolytic and Acid–Base Parameters after 80 to 115 km Endurance Races (Raid Uruguayo) and Their Association with the Comfort Index

“…The increase in the concentration of total plasma proteins at the end of the race was consistent with previous reports [24,25]. Animals in this study exhibited degrees of dehydration which, according to the literature, varied from moderate (50% Ht and 8 g/dL total plasma proteins) to severe or possible shock (>50% Ht and >8 g/dL total plasma proteins) [15,18,26]. In horses that did not finish the race, total protein plasma concentrations were greater in high vs. low CI values.…”

“…Younes et al [12] mentioned that 38.9% (n = 2738) of the horses that participated in competitions with the same distance range of the previous study were eliminated. This data was similar to other studies that reported a global elimination rate of 38.7 to 45% [13], but higher than the 18.9 and 31.4% reported by other authors [1,14,15].…”

Characterization of Raid Hipico Uruguayo Competencies by Ride Type: Causes of Death and Risk Factors

“…However, unlike endurance, where the speeds of the races were below 25 km/h [14,[18][19][20], RHU races were faster, with speed averages between 28 km/h and 32 km/h, reaching maximum speeds close to 36 km/h. In addition, horses completing RHU races were 10 to 40% less than those reported for endurance [20][21][22]. Another clear difference with endurance is that while in RHU the main cause of elimination was due to metabolic condition (43%), in endurance the highest percentage of elimination (25 to 40%) was due to lameness [14,[21][22][23].…”
