aquatic exercise research

Aquatic exercise research studies how exercising in water affects physical health, mobility, and recovery. Water's buoyancy reduces joint pressure, making workouts easier for those with injuries or arthritis. Research shows that aquatic exercise can improve cardiovascular health, build strength, and increase flexibility while minimizing risk of falls or strain. Scientists compare water-based workouts with land-based ones to understand benefits and limitations, helping develop effective, safe exercise programs for diverse populations, including seniors, rehabilitation patients, and athletes. This ongoing research supports the use of aquatic exercise as a valuable modality for enhancing health and functional ability.
