Aqua Exercise
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 interests.
Benefits of Aquatic Exercise
The Circulatory System benefits from
aquatic exercise because of increased muscle contraction and aerobic
activity, which causes the heart to work more effectively.
The cardiorespiratory system benefits from aquatic exercise due to
increased lung capacity with deeper ventilation. Vigorous aquatic
exercise also increases blood supply to muscle and impresses the
efficiency of the cardiovascular system.
Aquatic exercise benefits the musculoskeletal system by improving
flexibility, enhancing aquatic composition and improving muscle
strength and endurance.
Research shows that the skeletal system benefits from aquatic
exercise by the improved ability by the bones to intake calcium,
resulting in the ability to help maintain stronger bones.
