deep water running

Deep water running is a low-impact exercise performed while standing or jogging in a pool where the water level is above the waist. It simulates outdoor running without joint stress, using the water's resistance to build strength, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness. Because it minimizes impact, it's ideal for injury recovery or joint issues. Participants often wear a buoyancy belt to maintain an upright, running posture. This controlled environment allows for effective, safe workouts, making it a popular cross-training method for runners and rehabilitative exercise for those needing reduced joint strain.
