Background: The effects of the non-weight-bearing method of aquatic exercise as a modality for weight loss have not been established. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a combined aquatic-exercise and walking program compared with walking alone on body weight and selected variables in obese women undergoing a 16-week standard behavioral treatment program. Methods: Forty-four obese (body-mass index 34.9 ± 3.8 kg/m) sedentary women age 40.3 ± 6.8 years were randomly assigned…

Results of the present study suggest that nonweight-bearing exercises, such as resistance exercise and swimming, contribute significantly to the variability in TDEE in overweight/obese adults, which would make these types of activities viable options for exercise interventions.

Aquatic versus land-based exercise for cardiorespiratory endurance and quality of life in obese patients with knee osteoarthritis: a randomized controlled trial

It was found that patients with knee OA could start aquatic exercise to reduce leg fatigue and enhanced general health and energy and after that, exercise could be continued in land-based settings to improve cardiorespiratory endurance and quality of life.

Effect of aerobics on weight and fat mass loss in adult women: Systematic review and meta-analysis

Aerobics seems to be an effective intervention for weight loss in women, but the type of AE and the duration of the intervention should be considered.

Energy Cost of Land and Shallow Water Walking in Females who are Overweight and Obese

Results demonstrate that shallow water walking elicits an increase in energy expenditure, which may indicate that this form of activity is a reasonable alternative to land-based walking.

Physical Activity as a Weight Management Strategy

It is important for healthcare professionals to understand the role of physical activity in body weight regulation and to promote engagement in sufficient amounts ofPhysical activity to assist in weight loss efforts.

The effective hydrotherapy system for weight reduction and quality of life improvement amongst obese Malaysia

Hydrotherapy has improved subject’s mobility, flexibility, exercise capability, weight reduction and their quality of life, and a well-managed hydrotherapy system within the Business Process Management (BPM) context can provide positive overall results.

Reliability and Accuracy of a Standardized Shallow Water Running Test to Determine Cardiorespiratory Fitness.

This protocol provides a water-based option for CRF assessment among healthy women, and offers insight toward the development of an effective protocol that can accommodate individuals with limited mobility, or those seeking less musculoskeletal impact from traditional land-based types of training.

A program of diet plus lifestyle activity may offer similar health benefits and be a suitable alternative to diet plus structured aerobic activity for obese women.

Effects of intermittent exercise and use of home exercise equipment on adherence, weight loss, and fitness in overweight women: a randomized trial.

Compared with the LB group, subjects in the SB group did not experience improved long-term weight loss, exercise participation, or cardiorespiratory fitness, and access to home exercise equipment facilitated the maintenance of SB, which may improve long- term weight loss.

Evidence shows that aquatic and weight-bearing exercises both can increase calcaneal BUA, which is known to be superior to non–weight-bearing activity to increase the bone mass.

Appropriate Intervention Strategies for Weight Loss and Prevention of Weight Regain for Adults

The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that the strategies outlined in this position paper be incorporated into interventions targeting weight loss and the prevention of weight regain for adults.

Physical activity profiles of U.S. adults trying to lose weight: NHIS 1998.

The prevalence of using exercise as a weight loss strategy was directly associated with education and inversely associated with age and body mass index, and the prevalence of meeting various institutionally recommended levels of physical activity among that population was determined.

Diet and Exercise for Weight Loss

Although often viewed as a fad diet, very low-carbohydrate (ketogenic) diets are very popular and several recent clinical trials indicate they are more effective at promoting short-term weight loss and improving characteristics of the metabolic syndrome than low-fat diets, however, there is a need to obtain long-term safety and efficacy data.

Does Adherence Make a Difference?: Results From a Community-Based Aquatic Exercise Program

Improved methods are needed to enhance adherence, with increased attention to the role of intrinsic factors such as self-efficacy and belief systems, in community-based aquatic exercise programs for adults with osteoarthritis.

Impact of weight loss on Health-Related Quality of Life

It is found that weight loss was associated with significantly higher scores (enhanced HRQL), relative to baseline, on the physical functioning, role-physical, general health, vitality and mental health domains of the SF-36.
