Why Isometric Strength is Important for Equestrians Equestrian Performance & Fitness

In this podcast I am going to go through some of my PhD research which explains HOW isometric muscle work causes high heart rates during horse riding activities. We will also discuss how we might train riders to resist isometric fatigue and why not being strong enough might limit your riding performance.
