“…Our findings suggest that aquatic exercise is superior to other interventions in improving functional walking ability. The mechanism by which aquatic exercise improves TUG can be explained in several ways: (1) The presence of water resistance allows the patient to perform exercises more slowly than land-based exercises, resulting in an increased weight-bearing time on the lower limbs; in addition, the patient’s torso is subjected to a certain amount of water pressure in the aquatic environment [ 59 ] which has a similar effect on the skeletal muscles as blood flow restriction training [ 60 ] (a training modality that was shown to have a significant effect on increasing muscle strength) [ 61 ]. (2) When exercising in the water, hydrostatic force causes the blood and lymphatic fluid to move up the torso, and combined with the gravitational offload and hydrostatic effect of the water, it increases the amount of blood circulating from the periphery to the center, resulting in an increase in the end-diastolic volume of the heart and thus an increase in cardiac output [ 62 ].…”

“…O Distensionamento Miofascial Aquático (DMA) responde aos objetivos da liberação do complexo músculo tendíneo aumentando a flexibilidade com a vantagem da resposta terapêutica dos tecidos a imersão. O calor da água aumenta a temperatura corpórea e promove aumento da circulação sanguínea (vasodilatação), diminuição da condução das fibras sensitivas, o que contribui para o relaxamento muscular (HENDERSON, WALLIS, SNOWDON, 2018;CORVILLO et al 2017).…”

“…Dentre as outras vantagens que o meio líquido proporciona estão os ganhos terapêuticos pautados nas características físicas da água, principalmente aqueles relacionados à diminuição da descarga de peso articular e ao relaxamento muscular. Estes garantem modificações nas estruturas miofasciais da coluna vertebral envolvidas na flexibilidade corporal (CORVILLO et al 2017).…”
