As part of our ongoing programme of free education events, GBGB is pleased to announce that Dr Richard Payne will be delivering the third webinar in his series on greyhound anatomy and physiology on Thursday 2nd April (14:00–15:00).

During this session, ‘Exercise Physiology: The Truths and Myths’, Dr Payne will explore the metabolic processes that occur within muscles to generate energy for movement. He will discuss a greyhound’s reactions to exercise, highlighting the importance of warm‑up and cool‑down activities in preparing and regulating muscle metabolism. The session will also cover muscle-related conditions such as cramp and acidosis.

Dr Payne is an Associate Professor of Veterinary Anatomy at the University of Nottingham and a scientific and veterinary advisor to the GBGB. This free event is open to all GBGB licence holders, and trainers, kennelhands, and racecourse staff are all encouraged to attend.
