Abstract：
Water treadmill exercise has become popular in recent years for the training and rehabilitation of equine athletes. In 2019, an equine hydrotherapy working group was formed to establish what was commonly considered to be best practice in the use of the modality. This article describes the process by which general guidelines for the application of water treadmill exercise in training and rehabilitation programmes were produced by the working group. The guidelines describe the consensus reached to date on (1) the potential benefits of water treadmill exercise, (2) general good practice in water treadmill exercise, (3) introduction of horses to the exercise, (4) factors influencing selection of belt speed, water depth and duration of exercise, and (5) monitoring movement on the water treadmill. The long-term goal is to reach a consensus on the optimal use of the modality within a training or rehabilitation programme. Collaboration between clinicians, researchers and experienced users is needed to develop research programmes and further guidelines regarding the most appropriate application of the modality for specific veterinary conditions.
摘要：
近年来，水上跑步机运动已成为马运动员训练和康复的流行。2019年，成立了马水疗工作组，以建立通常被认为是使用该方式的最佳实践。本文介绍了工作组制定在训练和康复计划中应用跑步机运动的一般准则的过程。该指南描述了迄今为止就（1）水上跑步机运动的潜在好处达成的共识，（2）在水上跑步机锻炼中的一般良好做法，（3）介绍马的运动，（4）影响皮带速度选择的因素，水深和运动持续时间，(5)监测水上跑步机上的运动。长期目标是在训练或康复计划中就最佳使用该方式达成共识。临床医生之间的合作，需要研究人员和有经验的用户制定研究计划和进一步的指导方针，以最适当地应用特定的兽医条件的方式。
