Effects of aquatic exercise on muscle strength and functional performance of individuals with osteoarthritis: a systematic review

Abstract: Water-based exercises are recommended for people with osteoarthritis (OA), due to the beneficial effects on physical function, quality of life and symptom reduction. However, the effects on muscle strength are still controversial. The aim of this review was to assess and compare the effects of aquatic exercise programs on muscle strength and physical function in people with OA. A systematic search was performed at Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science databases. Clinical trials with interventions involving aquatic… Show more

“…A water training program incurs a lower risk of traumatic fractures and impact on the joints when compared to land-based exercise. In recent years aqua fitness training has become popular, especially among the adult population, because water-based exercises can be an effective way to improve physical function [12,13]. Meta-analysis focused on effectiveness of water-based exercise (WBE) on bone health of middle-aged and older adults revealed significant differences between WBE and sedentary control group in favor of WBE for changes in bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine and femoral neck.…”

“…Some studies were carried out comparing the effects of soil and water exercises, and positive results were found for both categories. However, these results refer to pain, balance, muscle strength (Mattos et al, 2016). Concerning the bone health of the patient with RA nothing was found in the literature.…”

“…It was also mentioned that warm temperature could decrease the activity of creatine kinase in the blood, which is associated with muscle fatigue as well as muscle damage caused by exercise. 8,19 Under warm conditions, blood flow to muscles will increase, and there will be a reduction of mediator molecules that activate nociceptors, resulting in reduction of pain, and inducing muscle relaxation. 20 Local muscle fatigue and central dyspnea are considered the two most important factors in healthy people in addition to perceived exertion.…”

“…This suggests that aquatic exercise might be perceived as comparatively less strenuous and might serve as an ideal method to improve the functional health status and reduce body weight of obese individuals or for elderly population who has age-related degenerative changes. [6][7][8] Based on the information above, we were encouraged to conduct a study on exercise programs for cardiorespiratory endurance and quality of life in obese patients with knee OA as the study has never been done before, especially in Indonesia. The aim was to observe whether there is a difference in cardiorespiratory endurance and quality of life improvement in patients who were given aquatic exercise compared with those who received land-based exercise.…”
