scientific studies

beneficial to water fitness & therapy

condensed reading

Here are consolidated two-minute reads of the scientific studies that we found to be effective in reinforcing our work understanding of how to get stronger and optimally fit when applying aquatic resistance training.

The studies include; the benefits of the properties of water; how hydrotherapy is beneficial for neurological and many other physical maladies; how a 12-week water aerobics study has a positive impact on increased conditioning and well-being; how utilizing oscillation exercises (fast-twitch) increases explosiveness and reaction times; how increasing muscle growth and stimulation, recovery, athletic performance and more through Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) resistance training.

When looking at the data, combining these, in the water with guided training is a huge recipe for success for those looking to get stronger regardless of age or activity level. It's about movement, how we do it, the type of resistance load, and for how long.

From lifting gains to being able to walk up a flight of stairs, the science is the same. To get you into a state of progressive overload, in the water with guided training where the benefits include increased strength, endurance, lean muscle growth, and improved bone health, is ageless and that knowledge is priceless.
