“…Twelve of the sourced studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) [16, 24–34] and two studies adopted a quasi-experimental design [35, 36]. Nine studies specifically evaluated the impact of aquatic training on improving strength [16, 25, 27, 29–32, 35, 36], nine studies assessed balance following aquatic training [24, 26, 28–30, 32, 33, 35, 36], and four studies compared a variety of physical fitness components, including agility, endurance, flexibility and speed [26, 27, 35, 36].…”

“…Dynamic balance was measured using the berg balance scale [33], the timed up and go test [24, 25, 27, 28, 35], the 8 ft up and go test [29, 30, 34] and the walking in circle test [36]. Static balance was recorded with the Sharpened Romberg test [24, 28, 35] with both open and closed eyes, it was also registered by a Biodex Balance Stability System [32] and using a force platform where the subjects kept their arms on their hips to maintain position [36].…”

Does aquatic exercise improve commonly reported predisposing risk factors to falls within the elderly? A systematic review

et al. 2019

Background According to the World Health Organization, the elderly are at the highest risk of injury or death from a fall. Age-related changes in strength, balance and flexibility are degenerative factors that may increase the risk of falling, and an aquatic training may offer a favourable environment to improve these modifiable risk factors. Methods A systematic review was conducted to assess the potential preventative role of aquatic exercise for reducing the risk of falls in the elderly by improving predisposing risk factors. Electronic databases and reference lists of pertinent articles published between 2005 and 2018 were searched. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that directly or indirectly addressed the effect of aquatic exercise for the prevention of falls in healthy participants were included within the synthesis. Studies were included if they were reported between January 2005 and May 2018 within a population aged between 60 and 90 years old that were without exercise-effecting comorbidities. Data related to participant demographics, study design, methodology, interventions and outcomes was extracted by one reviewer. Methodological quality assessment was independently performed by two reviewers using the PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database) scale. Results Fourteen trials met the inclusion criteria. Exercise intervention duration and frequency varied from 2 to 24 weeks, from 2 to 3 times per week, from 40 to 90 min per session. Fall rate was not reported in any of the studies analysed. However, aquatic exercise improved key predisposing physical fitness components that are modifiable and internal risk factors for falling. Conclusions There is limited, low-quality evidence to support the use of aquatic exercise for improving physiological components that are risk factors for falling. Although the evidence is limited, and many interventions are not well described, these results should be considered by health and exercise professionals when making evidence-based, clinical decisions regarding training programmes to reduce the risk of falling.

“…The WST is an important measure that correlates with functional capacity and dynamic balance, the potential of which is to predict functional decline as well as the risk of falls. 43 The strength of the LLs and the dynamic balance are directly related to the walking speed measured in the WST. 43 Bento et al 43 tested the balance of 65 women aged over 60 years, before and after a 12-week exercise protocol in water.…”

Considering the benefits of aquatic physiotherapy and the need for a well structured and differentiated rehabilitation for individuals submitted to HT, the aim of this study was to evaluate the cardio respiratory effects of an aquatic physiotherapy exercise program in a young adult after HT. Case characteristics This female volunteer was 38 years of age and had undergone a heart transplant in February 2016 due to dilated peripartum cardiomyopathy, in the Clinical Hospital (CH) of Belo Horizonte. Two months after the HT, the subject was referred to the University of Itaúna Integrated Physiotherapy Clinics (CIFUI), located in Itaúna MG, to initiate Cardiovascular soil Rehabilitation for six months. After this period, due the particularly rare case and the benefits of water based exercises, this volunteer was invited to participate in this study. Materials and methods Methods The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the University of Itaúna, under authorization No. 1.843.378. The evaluations and the exercise program were carried out in the CIFUI.

“…Also, exercise interventions have implemented concurrent with breast neoplasms treatment could cause increase in cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, and body composition and decrease in cancer-related fatigue ( 10 , 11 ). Various researchers have reported that water-based exercise is an ideal form of exercise for obese patients and might provide an attractive alternative to land-based exercise, to achieve improved health and fitness among these populations ( 12 , 13 ).…”

Individually and Combined Water-Based Exercise With Ginger Supplement, on Systemic Inflammation and Metabolic Syndrome Indices, Among the Obese Women With Breast Neoplasms

Background:Breast neoplasms has known as the most common cancer among the women worldwide, and relationship between obesity, metabolic syndrome, inflammation and cancer has been recognized since many years ago.Objectives:The aim of this study was to determine the individual and concomitant effect of 6-weeks water-based exercise and oral ginger supplement on markers that have related to metabolic syndrome and systemic inflammation in obese women with breast neoplasms.Patients and Methods:Forty women whose have diagnosed with breast neoplasms have volunteered to participate in the study. Subjects have randomly assigned into four groups; placebo, exercise training, ginger supplement and exercise training+ ginger supplement groups. Subjects in the ginger supplement group and the exercise training+ ginger supplement group have orally received 4 capsules, 7 days a week and for 6 weeks. The water-based exercise training program have collected at a progressive intensity and time, have ranged from 50% to 75% of heart rate reserve, in a pool, 4 times a week for 6 weeks. Fasting blood sampling has collected at the pretest and post-test.Results:The ginger supplementation and the water-base exercise have resulted in a reduction of hs-CRP, IL-10, insulin, glucose, insulin resistance, LDL-C, TG; but an increase in HDL-C and HDL-C/LDL-C. The water-base exercise and ginger supplement group have significantly shown larger positive effect in all outcomes, in comparison with the water-base exercise or ginger supplement alone groups.Conclusions:Findings have suggested that obese breast neoplasms survivors have commonly shown metabolic syndrome and elevated inflammation, which placed them at an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, data has indicated a protective effect of the nondrug strategies, such as water-base exercise and ginger supplementation have played an important role in pathogenesis of inflammatory and metabolic responses, among diagnosed breast neoplasms.
