Omic technology to monitoring resilience and adaptation to exercise and heat stress in endurance horses
This study aimed to investigate the molecular features underlying resilience and adaptation to combined heat- and exercise-induced stress in horses. Overall, our findings indicate that heat amplifies the physiological burden of endurance exercise and alters the molecular mechanisms supporting performance and recovery. Circulating small RNAs may act as early signals for homeostatic restoration and could help elucidate adaptive responses to stress, guiding personalized training strategies.
