Effects of water‐based exercise in obese older women: Impact of short‐term follow‐up study on anthropometric, functional fitness and quality of life parameters

Abstract: The WE program was not successful in reducing anthropometric parameters in obese older women, but it was useful in improving aerobic capacity, muscle strength and quality of life.

“…Some meta-analysis also reported significant reduces in SBP and DBP, despite the programs had different frequencies of training (Fagard, 2001;Kelley, 1999 Another significant/major finding in our study was the fact that no changes in anthropometric profiles were significant. This is supported by a study that concludes as major finding, the improvement of functional fitness and quality of life in obese older women after 12 weeks of water exercise was not paralleled with changes in anthropometric parameters (Rica et al, 2013). Some studies had significant changes in SBP and DBP, but none in anthropometric parameters (Cononi et al, 1991;Vianna et al, 2012;Whelton et al, 2002).…”

“…It is plausible to consider that the caloric cost of training might have been compensated by an increase in caloric intake (Gwinup, 1987) because no measure of nutritional diet was carried out in the study before (Rica et al, 2013).…”

“…The sample size calculation was performed using the GPower version 3.1 program in which we used α = 0.05, power of 80 %, and the variances of the previous studies that assessed variables similar (strength and aerobic endurance) to those of the present study (Kanitz et al 2015;Rica et al 2013). We used descriptive statistics, through means and standard deviation for the analysis of the collected data.…”

“…In order to improve health and increase motivation of adolescents for more frequent physical activity, water training programmes can be applied in practice influencing the reduction of body composition, transforming the anthropometric characteristics and improving motor abilities by means of their components and work methods. The research shows that water training has a high degree of correlation with the body mass reduction (Nagle et al, 2007), development of cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle force and flexibility (Rica et al, 2013), as well as the improvement of general health condition and quality of life (Raffaelli et al, 2010). Based on the abovementioned, the topic of this research is the study of effects and contribution of water training application in 13-year-old female adolescents.…”
