Muscle characteristics in young Norwegian-Swedish Coldblooded Trotters and associations with breeding index, body size and early training

Conclusions: Muscle characteristics differ among young NSCT horses, but the innate oxidative capacity seems to be lower than in Standardbreds of comparable age. Early training may influence on these parameters.
