BENEFITS

In addition to the standard benefits of any exercise, the use of water in 

water aerobics supports the body and reduces the risk of muscle or joint injury. The mitigation of gravity by flotation places less stress on the joints when stretching, and can allow a greater range of motion. The mitigation of gravity makes water aerobics safe for individuals able to keep their heads out of water, including the elderly.Exercise in water can also prevent overheating through continuous cooling of the body. Most classes last for 45-55 minutes.Another benefit is that you do not even have to be a strong swimmer to participate in water aerobics.

DEFINITION

Water has been a healing medium for many

centuries. The unique physical properties

of water make exercise easier and less

painful, while increasing its effectiveness.

These properties of water that make it

beneficial to exercise include buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure,

relative density, fluid resistance, and turbulence. Buoyancy is the

force that acts in the opposite direction of gravity; hydrostatic

pressure is the pressure that is exerted equally to all surface

areas of an immersed body at rest at a given depth. This pressure

assists the return of circulating blood to the heart, causing

it to work more efficiently under less pressure; the resistance

makes an individual’s muscles work harder without stressing the

individual’s joints.
