Abstract
Purpose: The objective of the current study is to analyze the efficacy of the intervention of aqua exercise on the musculoskeletal healing process. In addition, to improve future studies, that is to suggest some methodological issues identified in this literature.
Method: We have used a systematic review design. The DBpia, KISS, andR ISS were searched from 1990- 2020 (key words: aqua exercise, aquarobics). The papers meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria by five steps were critically appraised for methodological quality.
Results: Eight out of 76 identified papers were accepted to analyze th eeffect of the intervention of aqua training on the musculoskeletal healing process: two papers for persons with lower back pain, three papers for persons with arthritis, two articles for fairly healthy but elderly, and one article for patients with stroke. We have found that two studies in reduced pain and improved flexibility, three studies in improved muscle strength and balance, and one study in improved bone density among the fiver andomized control trials (RCTs) studies .
Also, we have found that no change in pain at night, in flexilbityi at the lower extremities and in bone densit y from one study each, and no change in muscle strength from two studies.
Conclusion: There is some evidence to suggest that aqua workout has a potisvie role in reducing pain, improving muscle strength, balance, bone density depending on the study participant’s health condition. However, the long-term effect is unknown. More studies are required.
