Abstract

Ovaj pregledni rad istražuje učinke intenzivne tjelesne aktivnosti na gastrointestinalni sustav
zaprežnih pasa, korištenih za sport ili rad. Analiziraju se anatomija i prehrambene potrebe ovih
pasa, kao i njihova predispozicija za gastrointestinalne probleme. Rad obuhvaća genetsko
selekcioniranje, treninge, sportove i natjecanja, naglašavajući patofiziologiju stresa i njegov
utjecaj na probavni sustav uz identifikaciju najčešćih promjena u krvnim parametrima povezanih
s intenzivnom tjelesnom aktivnošću. Najčešća gastrointestinalna stanja uključuju gastritis,
želučane čireve, dijareju te disbiozu crijeva. Smjernice za prevenciju problema uključuju
uporabu farmakoloških supstanci, prehrambene promjene te smanjivanje stresa. Ovaj pregledni
diplomski rad doprinosi boljem razumijevanju zdravstvenih izazova s kojima se suočavaju
zaprežni psi.

Abstract (english)

This review thesis investigates the effects of intense physical activity on the gastrointestinal
system of sled dogs used for sports or work. It analyzes the anatomy and nutritional needs of
these dogs, as well as their predisposition to gastrointestinal problems. The thesis covers genetic
selection, training, sports, and competitions, highlighting the pathophysiology of stress and its
impact on the digestive system while identifying the most common changes in blood parameters
associated with intense physical activity. Common gastrointestinal conditions include gastritis,
gastric ulcers, diarrhea and intestinal dysbiosis. Prevention guidelines include the use of
pharmacological substances, dietary changes, and stress reduction. This thesis contributes to a
better understanding of the health challenges faced by sled dogs.
