| Abstract | ||||
| This study aims to determine water-based exercise efficiency in improving physiological status in degenerative disease patinets. The sample of 20 subjects (age: 42 ± 3 yr, height: 172 ± 4 cm, weight: 95 ± 9 kg) has been randomly assigned to control and experimental group. The experimental group was subjected to six week training program, consisted of aerobic water-based exercises (35 – 70% of heart rate reserve). The control group was only habitualy active during this period. Before and after training program, blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, body weight and resting, maximum and recovery heart rates responses in multi-stage treadmill test were measured in the two groups. There were significant improvements in the measured physiological research variables in the experimental group, compared to the control group. Blood glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride had decreased in the experimental group by 24%, 13% and 27%, respectively. In conclusion, it can be stated that 6 week of aerobic water-based exercise program significantly improves the physiological functions in degenerative disease- patients. | ||||
