Resumo: | The impact of high-speed exercise on the musculoskeletal system of young racehorses has been extensively discussed because of concerns regarding animal health and welfare. This study investigated the correlation between age, degree of ossification of the distal radial epiphysis, sex, and career longevity of Thoroughbred racehorses in Brazil from 2012 to 2015. We performed a retrospective evaluation of 286 dorsopalmar radiographs of the left radiocarpal region of young horses and their racing performance. Distal radial epiphyseal closure was classified into three degrees: A, B, or C. Performance data included the number of races raced, athletic career length, and the number of races per month. The variables were subjected to regression analysis. At the time of radiographic examination, male horses were significantly older than females, and horses with epiphyseal closure degrees differed with age. Age at first race was 33.08±3.81 months, the average of races raced was 18.32±15.14 races, athletic career duration was 20.37±13.82 months, and the number of races raced per month was 0.93±0.46 races. Age influenced (P>0.001) the distal radial epiphyseal closure on racehorses, but sex did not (P=0.218 for males and P=0.275 for females). An inverse association was observed between age at the first race, the number of races raced per month, and athletic career duration. The frequency of race and the age at the first race influenced athletic career duration.Keywords: Athletic performance; distal radial epiphyseal closure; radiography |

Este estudo investigou a correlação entre idade, grau de ossificação da epífise radial distal, sexo e longevidade da carreira de cavalos Puro Sangue Inglês de corrida no Brasil de 2012 a 2015. Realizamos uma avaliação retrospectiva de 286 radiografias dorsopalmar da região radiocarpica esquerda de cavalos jovens e seu desempenho de corrida. O fechamento epifisário radial distal foi classificado em três graus decrescentes: A, B ou C. Os dados de desempenho incluíram o número de corridas disputadas, duração da carreira atlética e o número de corridas por mês. As variáveis foram submetidas à análise de regressão. No momento do exame radiográfico, os cavalos machos eram significativamente mais velhos que as fêmeas, e os cavalos com diferentes graus de fechamento epifisário diferiram com a idade. A idade na primeira corrida foi de 33,08±3,81 meses, a média de corridas disputadas foi de 18,32±15,14 corridas, a duração da carreira atlética foi de 20,37±13,82 meses e o número de corridas realizadas por mês foi de 0,93±0,46 corridas. A idade influenciou (P>0,001) o fechamento da epífise radial distal em cavalos de corrida, mas o sexo não (P=0,218 para machos e P=0,275 para fêmeas). Uma associação inversa foi observada entre a idade na primeira corrida, o número de corridas disputadas por mês e a duração da carreira atlética. A frequência de corrida e a idade na primeira corrida influenciaram a duração da carreira atlética.Palavras-chave: desempenho atlético; fechamento epifisário distal radial; radiografiaUniversidade Federal de Goiás2023-01-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/74190Brazilian Animal Science/ Ciência Animal Brasileira; Vol. 24 (2023): Continuous publicationCiência Animal Brasileira / Brazilian Animal Science; v. 24 (2023): Publicação contínua1809-68911518-2797reponame:Ciência animal brasileira (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporenghttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/74190/39432https://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/74190/39607https://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/74190/39433https://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/74190/39608Copyright (c) 2023 Ciência Animal Brasileira / Brazilian Animal Sciencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRamos, MarciaFrança de Oliveira Silva, CleyanneFerreira da Rocha, Ana CarolinaAlbano de Araújo Oliveira, ChiaraVaz Di Mambro Ribeiro, CláudioDe Mello Costa, Maria FernandaAbidu-Figueiredo, Marcelo2023-08-24T18:50:56Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/74190Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/vetPUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/oai||revistacab@gmail.com1809-68911518-2797opendoar:2024-05-21T19:56:33.475239Ciência animal brasileira (Online) - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)true |
