Physiological responses to prolonged physical exercise in dogs.
1. Duration of exercise until exhaustion is significantly correlated with body weight of dogs. 2. Rectal temperature (Tre) achieved at the end of the effort depends on the resting value of Tre, but the exercise-induced increases in Tre are unrelated to the initial Tre. 3. The magnitude of exercise-induced decrease in blood glucose (BG) level is positively correlated with the resting BG level and negatively correlated with the elevations of the plasma free fatty-acid (FFA) concentration. 4. A significant positive relationship is found between the exercise-induced increases in the plasma FFA levels and noradrenalinaemia.
