About

Introduction: water aerobics involves the practice of specific aquatic exercises that are based on the use of water resistance as a load and on thrust as an impact reducer, making it possible to perform physical exercise with a lower risk of injury even at a high intensity. Objective: The overall objective of this study will be to compare the effectiveness of high intensity interval versus moderate continuous water aerobics to improve health outcomes in apparently healthy individuals.

Full description

Method: randomized clinical trial will be performed in the premises of the College of Physical Education of the Federal University of the São Francisco Valley. 100 adults, of both sexes, will be randomized into two groups, high intensity interval hydrogynastic (HIAI) or moderate continuous aquatic gymnastics (HCM). Individuals will be evaluated for primary endpoints of muscle strength and endurance, aerobic fitness, flexibility and body composition. The secondary outcomes evaluated will be the quality of life, functionality and perception of improvement by a Likert-type Improvement Scale, at the following moments: initial, final and follow-up of one month after the end of the training. Individuals will be assisted for three months, often weekly twice, with sessions lasting 50 min. In order to identify differences between and within the groups, an equation of generalized estimates will be used as regression model with the syntax according to the multivariate model.

Enrollment: 75 estimated patients
