Research Advances in Therapeutic Effects of Aquatic Exercise for Common Chronic Diseases
This study employs a literature review to comprehensively outline the therapeutic effects of aquatic exercise on patients with common chronic diseases.The goal is to establish a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for the application of aquatic therapy in chronic illnesses.RESULTS:(a)Common aquatic treatment modalities include aerobic exercise,resistance training,and high-intensity interval exercise.In comparison to land-based exercise,aquatic exercise boasts advantages such as a lower risk of exercise-related injuries,heightened energy expenditure,enhanced blood circulation efficiency,and promotion of vasodilation.(b)Aquatic exercise demonstrates notable therapeutic effects on chronic conditions like diabetes,hypertension,arthritis,obesity,and stroke,serving as an effective means to ameliorate patient outcomes.To further optimize the therapeutic impact of aquatic exercise in chronic diseases,the following recommendations are proposed:(a)Develop a specific and targeted evaluation index system to assess the intervention effects of aquatic exercise therapy based on factors such as disease type and severity.(b)Tailor a more diverse range of aquatic exercise methods and enhance the exercise environment of aquatic therapy based on the actual needs of patients.Delve deeper into the"exercise dose-effect"relationship of aquatic exercise in chronic disease interventions,providing precise references for aquatic exercise prescriptions.(c)Investigate the effects of aquatic therapy on chronic disease patients under different water temperatures,thereby formulating a more scientifically effective aquatic exercise therapy.
