- "Physiological and
blood biochemical responses to submaximal treadmill exercise in Canaan
dogs before, during and after training" by JC Sneddon, PP Minnaar,
JF Grosskopf, and HT Groeneveld. In: Journal of the South African
Veterinary Association, June 1989, volume 60, issue 2, pg 87-91.
Physiological, haematological and blood biochemical parameters were
used to distinguish between fit and unfit Canaan dogs, and to monitor
changes during training and detraining periods. Fitness was defined
as the ability to run for one hour on a motorized treadmill while maintaining
temperature below 41°C and heart rate below 250 beats per minute.
The authors conclude that heart rate and rectal temperature may be the
most suitable and sensitive indicators of fitness in dogs and suggest
that apparent inherent superiority of dogs should be accounted for in
prospective breeding programs.
