The Benefits of Aquatic Exercise
The benefits of fitness and exercise have never been more widely studied, publicized, or encouraged. Aquatic exercise delivers the standard benefits of regular exercise plus a lot more. Before discussing the many benefits of aquatic exercise, let us review the well-studied and documented benefits of regular exercise:

  • helps control weight
  • helps reduce risk of developing high blood pressure
  • reduces risk of developing diabetes
  • reduces risk of developing colon cancer
  • reduces risk of premature death
  • reduces risk of dying from heart disease
  • helps maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints
  • promotes psychological well-being

Aquatic exercise has enjoyed growing popularity and recognition over the last decade due to the undeniable health benefits afforded to the widest spectrum of users. In addition to the growing popularity of the water as an exercise environment, there is also widespread adoption of specialized equipment and training aids that are enhancing the water’s benefits in new and unique ways. Beyond the physical, psychological, and medical benefits of aquatic exercise, the breadth and depth of the potential market for such benefits is unmatched. As the world’s population continues to age, more and more people will seek out exercise routines that will accommodate their unique needs.

Aquatic exercise is not only poised to capture this growing segment of the population, but also holds great promise for anyone who desires a new experience in physical movement – from children, to sedentary professionals, to elite athletes, to rehabilitation candidates. Here is a sampling of some of the benefits of aquatic exercise:

Circulatory system - the body’s circulation benefits greatly from aquatic exercise due to the increased muscle contraction and aerobic activity, causing the heart to work more effectively.

Cardiorespiratory system - aerobic capacity benefits from aquatic exercise due to increased lung capacity with deeper ventilations. Vigorous aquatic exercise also increases blood supply to muscles and enhances the efficiency of the cardiovascular system.

Musculoskeletal system - muscles and bones benefit from aquatic exercise due to improved flexibility and improved muscle strength and endurance.

Skeletal system – benefits from aquatic exercise due to research that shows aquatic exercise can help in bone calcium intake, resulting in the ability to help maintain stronger bones.

Flexibility – range of motion benefits from aquatic exercise because the effects of gravity are lessened and the natural water movement encourages relaxation of muscles. Joints move through a wider range of motion and achieve long-term flexibility.

Decreased heart rate – heart rate can be reduced as much as 17 bpm in the water compared to land.

Less next day soreness – the increased hydrostatic pressure of the water helps take the lactic acid out of the cells and delivers it to the liver more efficiently, so the exercised muscles do not feel as sore.

Low impact – aquatic exercise decreases compression of body joints such as ankles, knees, hips, and spine. It helps to decrease pain associated with movement and is a safer environment to work on balance problems.

Whole body or specific areas – exercising in water allows for exercise of the whole body, or just an injured area.

Psychological well-being – exercising in water promotes relaxation, reduces potential for overheating that leads to excessive sweating, allows for a certain level of modesty and discretion among participants, and can easily be done in a group setting.

Efficient workout - aquatic exercise offers a stress-free mode of hitting all major muscle groups, not to mention the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, in one workout – making it the perfect exercise for people of all ages and abilities.

Maximum flexibility – the water environment invites all age groups, fitness levels, and skill levels. It affords an instructor enough flexibility to teach a wide variety of classes from water yoga to intense athletic training, from stretching and relaxation classes to muscular training formats.
