Brief Summary

Introduction: water aerobics involves the practice of specific aquatic exercises that are based on the use of water resistance as a load and on thrust as an impact reducer, making it possible to perform physical exercise with a lower risk of injury even at a high intensity. Objective: The overall objective of this study will be to compare the effectiveness of high intensity interval versus moderate continuous water aerobics to improve health outcomes in apparently healthy individuals.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Aerobic Fitness

  This maximal/submaximal test will be performed on cyclergometer, Balke test.

  three months after randomization

• Body Composition

  The body composition (density and percentage of body fat) will be estimated by prediction equations (JACKSON et al., 1980).

  three months after randomization

• Strength Muscular

  Strength Muscular will be measured by 1RM test in two exercises, involving the segments of the upper limbs (supine) and lower limbs (leg press).

  three months after randomization

• Endurance Muscular

  Muscle endurance will be assessed by the test in which the individual performs the maximum number of repetitions of given exercises for one minute. The exercises will be of arm and abdominal flexion.

  three months after randomization

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Quality Life

  three months after randomization

• Functionality

  three months after randomization

• Perception of Improvement

  three months after randomization

Study Arms (2)

High-intensity Interval Hydrogynmastics

EXPERIMENTAL

High-intensity Interval training Hydrogynmastics, 2x/week, for 3 months.

Other: High-intensity interval Hydrogynmastics

Hydrogynmastics Continuous Moderate

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Hydrogynmastics Continuous Moderate training (HCM), 2x/week, for 3 months.

Other: Hydrogynmastics Continuous Moderate

Interventions

High-intensity interval Hydrogynmastics OTHER

The HIIH to PSE group during the high intensity (HI) period should remain between 16 to 18 points, while in the moderate intensity (MI) intervals around 11. The dynamic exercises will progression, in the first month will be 1 min of HI and 2 min of MI, in the second month of 1 min of HI and 1 min of MI and in the last month of 1 min of HI and 30 s of MI, until completing 30 min in total.

Also known as: HIIH

High-intensity Interval Hydrogynmastics

Hydrogynmastics Continuous Moderate OTHER

For the HCM group the PSE will be around 11 points during the 30 min of moderate continuous exercise. In both groups the form of intensity monitoring that will be through the PSE, in which this scale will be printed in banner form and affixed next to the physical education teacher during the classes.

Also known as: HCM

Hydrogynmastics Continuous Moderate
