| Popis: | Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES The use of functional exercises improves flexibility and stimulates muscle strengthening, making muscles better prepared for physical activities and promoting a better quality of life for animals. The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of a functional training program on epaxial musculature, biomechanics and behavioral changes in working horses. The experiment was carried out in the Mounted Police Squad of the Military Police of the State of Sergipe (Aracaju / SE). Sixteen horses were used, with a mean weight of 418 ± 50 kg, BCS of 5.09 ± 0.71 and 14.0 ± 3.5 years of age. These animals were randomly assigned to two experimental groups: submitted (n = 8) or not (n = 8) to the functional exercises. The exercises were performed three times a week for three months, and consisted of techniques of dynamic mobilization, reflexive mobilization, dynamic imbalance and passive stretching. Data from all variables were collected at the beginning and end of the study. The variables collected were: muscular biometry, linear kinematic analysis and behavior. The depth of the Longissimus dorsi muscle on the left side (LDL) and right (LDR) and total cross section area of the Musculus multifidus, left side (MML) and right (MMR) were evaluated. For the kinematic evaluation of the gait, the animals were filmed for determination of stride length (CPp) for the walk (SLw) and trot (SLt), and tracking distance to the walk (TDw) and trotting (TDt). The behavioral evaluation consisted in the application of questionnaires to the horsemen / amazons that formed the sets with the animals, referring to the temperament of the animal before, during and after patrolling.
