Keywords: | exercise; aquatic-based; hydro gymnastics; elderly; cardiometabolic diseases | Issue Date: | 23-Nov-2020 | Publisher: | MDPI | Serial title, monograph or event: | International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health | Volume: | 17 | Issue: | 22 | Abstract: | Cardiometabolic diseases are one of the primary causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide and sedentary lifestyles are contributing factors to these pathologies. Physical exercise has been recognized as an important tool in the prevention and treatment of these diseases. However, there are still some doubts about the efficacy of certain type of physical exercise programs for older participants. The main goal of this study is to assess the impact of different aquatic-based physical exercise programs on risk markers of cardiometabolic diseases in older people. The study group will consist of non-institutionalized individuals, within the age group of 65 or older. The sample will be randomly divided into four groups, three experimental groups (EG) and one control group (CG). Participants from the EGs will be exposed to three physical aquatic-based exercise programs for a period of 28 weeks (continuous aerobic, interval aerobic and combined). The evaluated parameters include anthropometry, physical functions, mental health, cognitive function, carotid arteries intima-media thickness, heart rate variability and biochemical markers. The results will allow an interpretation of the impact of different aquatic-based physical exercise programs on cardiometabolic diseases markers and can also be used as a tool for professionals to prescribe adequate and more efficient physical exercise programs. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/106183 | ISSN: | 1660-4601 | DOI: | 10.3390/ijerph17228678 | Rights: | openAccess |
