Water-Based Aerobic Training Successfully Improves Lipid Profile of Dyslipidemic Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

Water-based interval aerobic training positively affected the lipid profile in premenopausal dyslipidemic women.

The effect of aquatic high intensity interval training on cardiometabolic and physical health markers in women: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Our analysis of five studies 23 , 24 , 27 , 34 , 38 revealed a significant ( P < 0.001) moderate effect size point estimate of 0.610 in favour of AHIIT compared with the control for peak oxygen uptake (VO 2 peak) (95% CI 0.277 to 0.943), with no significant heterogeneity found (I 2 = 26.69%, P = 0.244) ( Fig. 2 a).…”

“…2 e). Although our analysis of two studies 27 , 31 indicated that both blood lipid measurement regarding HDL and LDL had insignificant (P = 0.273) and small (P = 0.327) effect size point estimates of 0.240 (95% CI -0.189 to 0.669) and −0.285 (95% CI -0.853 to 0.284), respectively, there was no significant heterogeneity across studies: (I 2 = 0%, P = 0.688) ( Fig. 2 f) and (I 2 = 42.376%, P = 0.188) ( Fig.…”

“…Out of the remaining 242 articles, 151 were excluded when the abstracts were reviewed, and 51 articles were excluded after reading the full texts. A total of 18 articles were ultimately identified as being relevant to the study 6 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ; 13 of these articles were included in the final analysis ( Fig. 1 ).…”

“… 20 Four studies were considered high-quality, with PEDro scores of seven and above, mainly due to the intention to analyse the data. 27 , 30 , 34 , 35 Twelve studies were of moderate quality, in which allocations were not concealed and the assessors were not blinded. 6 , 26 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 33 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 Two studies were of low quality, as a result of a lack of information about the follow-up procedures and blinding of assessors during the intervention.…”

“… 42 Our findings demonstrated that the VO 2 peak significantly increased with a moderate effect when AHIIT was compared to control groups. 23 , 24 , 27 , 34 , 38 With training, centrally, the left ventricle of the heart can stretch to allow for more forceful contractions, which increase stroke volume and result in increased VO 2 peak. 43 HIIT is also able to increase the VO 2 peak rapidly via increasing mitochondrial density, resulting in the generation of more adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for working muscles.…”
