As more physicians recommend exercise and fitness, their patients
are concerned about the possibilities of muscle aches, pains and
other joint discomfort. With more physical activity, the body
is more prone to injury. Individuals who are concerned about pain
and injury generally have experienced a debilitating sport’s injury
or are diagnosed with arthritis. Nonetheless, fitness can be fun
and beneficial when executed in the water.
What are the benefits of aquatic/water workouts? Aquatic training is touted as the best way to build endurance, flexibility muscular strength, cardio fitness as well as balance. Why do physicians recommend aquatic exercise? When the body is submerged in water, the buoyancy supports the body’s weight. For example, if you stand in a pool up to the nape of your neck, the water cancels out over 85 percent of the body’s weight. Unlike regular fitness, water reduces the stress of weight-bearing bones, muscles and joints. During movements, instead of the exerciser using their own weight to land on rigid surfaces only ten to 15 percent of the body's weight is used. Consequently, the propensity of an injury is decreased. Water sports represent risk reduction in the way of physical injuries. How does aquatic exercise impact the body? A wide array of health advantages can be found in aquatic exercise. During water submersion, the circulation of the body may increase. It can be attributed to improving one’s cardiovascular health. Moreover, when ligaments push against water, it offers substantial resistance which strengthens the muscles. Are
movements limited during aquatic exercise? Why are water exercises recommended for arthritis patients? For arthritic patients, the pressure of the water on the body can alleviate swelling if you have painful injuries. |
