Cardiac Output
During training, there is an increase in stroke volume, with one study finding a 10% increase. This contributes to better thermoregulation and aids in the elimination of waste products. Stroke volume refers to the volume of blood pumped by the heart with each __________.

Stroke Volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped out of the heart at each beat. At rest, SV ranges from 1.3-2.3 ml/kg BW. During exercise, SV ranges from 2.5-2.7 ml/kg BW. SV increases by up to 50% during exercise and further increases with ________.

Cardiac Output (CO) is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute. CO is calculated as HR X SV. At rest, CO ranges from 25-45 l/min. During exercise, CO ranges from 240-300 l/min. If we standardize for body mass, horses have twice the CO as humans. The formula for CO is CO = HR X ________.

Horses with high aerobic capacity have very high Vo2max levels. Their Vo2max can increase by up to 35 times over resting rates, making them twice as efficient as human athletes who have a Vo2max of 70 ml/kg/min. This difference is due to horses' superior ________.
