Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 636 focuses on "different arenas".

Alice immediately responded, speaking a few seconds faster:
"That's right. The impact of the microclimate on muscle heat dissipation efficiency, core body temperature regulation, and post-match recovery rate is often underestimated, and this is directly related to whether one can perform consistently or even exceed expectations."

"Is the electrolyte balance scheme you mentioned a dynamic model built to address individual differences, or a general early warning indicator summarized from group performance?"
"Oh, I haven't mentioned it before. Actually, these issues..."

She paused briefly, glancing at Yasui Makoto and the others still in the living room:
"It mainly involves overseas expeditions."

"This is one of our team's main routes for the next year, and similar environmental adaptation issues are the primary challenge."

"For example, the comprehensive strategies for dealing with different time zones, temperatures, humidity, and track hardness, especially the softer tracks commonly found in Europe, and the 'environmental difference coping strategies' accumulated by local races are very valuable for reference."

Very cooperatively, Yamato Akaki also pressed for details:
Did you systematically compare and record the data on the compatibility of horseshoes and running shoes under different soil conditions?

Although Hirokazu Yasui's expression remained serious, his eyes now revealed a professional glint, and he became more talkative:

"There are some comparative records, mainly based on the shape and depth of the horseshoe wear after the race, and then adjusting according to the feeling of force and fatigue points reported by the horse trainer."

"As for electrolyte and nutrition plans, we tend to focus on early warning signs summarized from long-term observation, such as how to fine-tune the diet plan when appetite is persistently poor, and what to supplement first when mental state declines."

"After all, local competitions have limited resources and place greater emphasis on practicality and immediate results."

"As for overseas expeditions..."

He shook his head and sighed softly:
"I'm afraid I can't be of much help in this regard. My experience is limited to leading teams to competitions in different counties and cities, which mainly involves sending assistants in advance to measure local water quality and collect commonly used dietary plans for analysis and comparison..."

"it does not matter!"

When the topic turned to her profession, Alice became somewhat excited and couldn't help but interrupt:

"The focus is not on Japan and overseas, but on 'different arenas'!"

She emphasized:

"The main difference lies in the level of technology, and most existing technologies have standardized processes and operations."

“For example, setting up special cooling stations like at the Versailles stadium, or using the WBGT index to comprehensively assess heat stress risk, are all things that can be learned and mastered.”

"But the experience gained in accurately predicting environmental differences and then making personalized adjustments is something that existing technology cannot compensate for."

She became more and more agitated as she spoke:
"For example, by combining the data you provide, we may be able to establish a new set of 'mapping logic' for environmental parameters such as runway hardness, temperature and humidity, and altitude, as well as physiological response parameters such as heart rate variability, muscle soreness index, and recovery speed, and then to equipment and nutritional intervention."

"For overseas competitions, if we can obtain detailed environmental data and historical match records of the target venue in advance, and combine them with our existing biometric data, we can more accurately simulate training conditions and reduce uncontrollable factors on the spot."

Yamato Akaki agreed and added his thoughts on the implementation level:

"Yes. For example, we can simulate the corresponding temperature and humidity in the training room to conduct adaptive training based on the typical climate conditions of overseas competition venues."

"It can also systematically analyze the impact of common grass species or soil types in different countries and regions on the race rhythm, just like you recorded the running style adjustments under different soil conditions back then."

“Even pre-race diet transition plans and post-flight recovery procedures can find inspiration for optimization from these local experiences.”

The three of them discussed these highly technical topics as they entered the study, closing the door gently to shut out any further in-depth discussions.

The living room fell silent for a moment. Yasui Makoto stared at the closed study door, a rare look of surprise and emotion on his face. He hadn't expected... his father to talk more today than he usually did in a whole month, and he certainly hadn't expected him to get along so well with Alice and Yamato Akaki.

Seeing his appearance, the Northern Black Steed couldn't help but chuckle, his crimson eyes curving into crescents.

"Now I finally know who it is that makes your eyes light up and you get all excited when you talk about training and competition plans, Ah Zhen! So that's how your uncle talks about professional matters too!"

Almond-eyed nodded repeatedly, obediently adding:

"Hmm! It seems that A-Zhen's passion for training and competitions is inherited from Mei-Ling, while her extensive knowledge and quick thinking must have come from her uncle!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiqiao Meiling flicked her forehead with her finger, making a soft "thump" sound.

"Ouch!" Almond exclaimed softly, covering her forehead with a slightly aggrieved expression, looking at Meiling, who had suddenly "launched an attack," with a puzzled expression.

Meiling stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at her with feigned displeasure.
"Hey, Almond Eyes, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'knowledgeable and smart' only inherited from your uncle? Do you think I'm just a stupid mom who can only run?"

Then everyone realized what was wrong with her and couldn't help but laugh, and a burst of lighthearted laughter filled the living room.

Northern Genko laughed especially heartily, waving his hands repeatedly to defend Almond, saying, "No, no! Almond means that Meiling-neechan is definitely smart and capable too!"

Looking at his mother's childlike appearance, Yasui Makoto could only shake his head with a helpless smile, completely at a loss for what to do with his overly lively mother.

"alright!"

After the laughter subsided, Meiling clapped her hands, reigniting the atmosphere:
"Once the three of them go into the study, they're bound to start studying those dry data and theories again, and they won't come out for ages."

"Let's not just sit here waiting, let's find something relaxing and fun to do!"
"for example……"

She suddenly lowered her voice and put on a mysterious expression:

How about we go 'treasure hunting' in Xiao Zhen's bedroom? There are a lot of his childhood secrets hidden inside!

Her exaggerated suggestion and expression immediately piqued the immense curiosity of Northern Genko, Almond, and Spring Awakening. The three girls' eyes lit up instantly, filled with anticipation.

"Okay, okay!"

“I want to go and see it!”

"Explore, go on an adventure!"

Under Yasui Makoto's increasingly helpless gaze, Meiling smiled triumphantly, led the enthusiastic girls upstairs, and pushed open the door to a room.

The room was simply furnished. A desk was placed in front of the window facing the door, with storage cabinets and bookshelves against the wall on either side of the desk.

The floor was covered with neat tatami mats, but there was no bed. The bedding was obviously stored in a cabinet and would only be taken out when needed.

As expected, the bookshelves were crammed full of all kinds of books, neatly categorized, exuding an air of rigor.
