“…Moreover, the choice of exercise should take into account the individual’s health limitations that prevent him or her from performing certain types of exercise. In obese or overweight individuals, traditional forms of training, such as walking training or exercise on a cycle ergometer, can cause a number of musculoskeletal complications, which may discourage them from continuing to participate in longer-term training programmes [ 43 ]. Aquatic training has been found to stimulate peripheral vasodilatation and blood flow redistribution.…”

“…Moreover, it inhibits sympathetic nervous activity. The physiological changes associated with immersion in water may have positive health effects as regards circulatory fitness [ 43 , 44 , 45 ]. This was confirmed by the findings from the present study, which showed that a 6-month aqua aerobics programme with once-weekly training sessions resulted in a significant decrease in DBP ( p < 0.05).…”

Background: Menopause is a time when women experience a number of physiological and anatomical changes resulting from a decline in ovarian function. It can be concluded that cardiovascular disease increases in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, irrespective of age-related changes. Engaging in the amount of moderate physical activity recommended by the World Health Organization helps reduce the risk of death and adverse health events. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of a 6-month aqua aerobics programme on cardiometabolic (anthropometric and biochemical) parameters in perimenopausal women. Methods: In this study, 30 women (control group—16, study group—14) participated in the 6-month aqua aerobics training programme. The mean age of women was 47.67 ± 6.79 year and BMI 26.33 ± 3.64 kg/m2. At the beginning and at the end of the study, anthropometric and blood samples analysis were performed. In the blood, lipid profile, morphotic elements were determined. Body composition, waist–hip ratio (WHR), visceral adiposity index (VAI), blood pressure (BP) were measured. Results: The aqua aerobics programme resulted in a significant decrease in the WHR (p < 0.05; ES: 2.143), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (p < 0.05; ES: 1.005), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PRL) (p < 0.05; ES: 0.460) and an increase in haemoglobin (HGB) concentration (p < 0.05; ES: 0.643). Conclusions: The type of physical activity described in the present study is a great way for perimenopausal women to take care of their overall well-being. The reduction in selected cardiometabolic parameters is important from the point of view of the protection of women’s health.
