Aqua-Fit in health sports: A holistic and joint-friendly training
Aqua-Fit is not only a popular alternative in bad weather or as a group activity, but above all a highly effective training for health sports. Hardly any other sport combines muscle, mobility and cardiovascular training so comprehensively, and in a way that is particularly gentle on the joints.
Holistic training thanks to the unique properties of water
Water's physical properties such as buoyancy, pressure and resistance make it an ideal medium for health-oriented training. Thanks to the buoyancy, the strain on joints, bones and tendons is reduced by up to 90 percent, while the water resistance allows for individually adjustable training intensities. The result: a gentle but effective full-body workout.
Health benefits of aqua fitness
As we get older, signs of wear and tear become apparent in the musculoskeletal system. After the age of 30, almost everyone experiences slight arthritic changes in their joints. In addition, our modern lifestyle habits, such as sitting for hours, weaken the muscular corset and promote back pain. Exercise is therefore essential to get the circulation going, promote blood flow and liquefy the synovial fluid, which helps the joints function better.
This is where Aqua-Fit comes into play: the buoyancy of the water and the lack of pressure from contact with the ground allow you to remain active even when you are in pain or have limited mobility. Pain is reduced, mobility is increased and the vicious circle of rest and worsening of symptoms can be broken.
The structured structure of an Aqua-Fit training
To achieve the best possible effect for the body, Aqua-Fit training should be divided into four phases:
Warm-up : Mental arrival, mobilization of the joints and redistribution of blood throughout the body.
Strength training : Strengthening individual muscle groups in deep water to compensate for muscular weaknesses or imbalances.
Deep Water Running : The heart of the training to specifically improve the cardiovascular system. Various running techniques such as skipping or endurance running steps can be used.
Cool Down : Gentle cooling down and stretching to promote recovery and relaxation.
Aqua-Fit as a rehabilitation measure and injury prevention
Aqua-Fit is not only beneficial in the area of prevention, but is also ideal for rehabilitation after injuries. Many injuries are caused by excessive strain or as a result of trauma. In water, the lack of contact with the ground enables pain-free movement, which can accelerate the healing process and have a positive effect. This protects the musculoskeletal system and the natural movement pattern can be relearned in a gentle way.
For athletes, this means that Aqua-Fit can be an effective alternative during an injury break to stay fit without having to completely interrupt your usual training routine.
Efficient and gentle training in the water
Regular aqua-fit training not only leads to greater fitness and well-being, but also to better resilience in everyday life. People with complaints such as cardiovascular problems, back pain or excess weight in particular benefit from the positive effects of the water. Aqua-fit is also ideal for people who want to protect their joints or who want to get back into training gently after an injury.
Conclusion
Aqua-Fit is a comprehensive, gentle and efficient training that is particularly suitable for health sports. It enables an intensive but joint-friendly workout that not only strengthens the circulation, but also strengthens the muscles and improves mobility. Thanks to the relief provided by the buoyancy of the water, it is also ideal for people with physical limitations or pain.
With the right products and the right buoyancy aid, nothing stands in the way of your aqua fitness experience!
