老年妇女可能患有慢性或与年龄有关的疾病，这些疾病增加了福尔斯的风险，或限制了她们保持活动的能力。目前还不清楚水上运动项目是否能提供一种安全有效的陆上运动替代方案。本研究的目的是评估以水为基础的锻炼计划方法对60岁及以上女性日常生活功能活动（ADL）的影响。本研究采用准实验、非等效控制组设计. 66名女性（60-89岁）自我选择到水中锻炼（WEX）组（n = 48）或对照（C）组（n = 18）。训练包括为期16周（45分钟·天（-1），3天·周（-1））的监督WEX计划，包括10分钟的热身和热身/拉伸，以及在1.0-1.2 m的浅水中使用S.W.E.A.T.™方法进行35分钟的训练，水温约为28-29°C。参与者被要求参加至少94%的会议。参与者的评估包括ADL功能场测试。与C组相比，WEX参与者改善了（p < 0.05）柔韧性（8%）、坐立（31%）、步行速度（16%）和步长（10%）、敏捷性（20%）、爬楼梯（22%）、手臂弯曲（39%）和静态（42-48%）平衡，但动态平衡没有改善。结果表明，应用于该水上运动计划的S.W.E.A.T.™方法提供了一个全面、安全和有效的运动计划，老年妇女可以改善功能性ADL和静态平衡。关键点有各种健康状况的老年妇女参加了16周的运动（92%的坚持率），没有受伤。应用于这个以水为基础的计划的S.W.E.A.T.™方法被发现显着改善身体功能的几个方面，包括姿势平衡。这个浅水计划为妇女提供了一个全面，安全和有效的活动，以改善陆地上的功能性ADL。
Older women may have chronic or age-related conditions that increase the risk of falls or that limit their ability to remain active. It is unclear if a water-based exercise program provides a safe and effective alternative to land-based exercise. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a water-based exercise program method on land-based functional activities of daily living (ADL) for women 60 years and older. This study used a quasi- experimental, nonequivalent control group design. Sixty-six women (60-89 yr of age) self- selected to a water exercise (WEX) group (n = 48) or control (C) group (n = 18). The training consisted of a 16-week (45 min·day(-1), 3 d·wk(-1)) supervised WEX program that included 10 min of warm-up and warm down/stretching and 35 min training using the S.W.E.A.T.™ method in shallow water 1.0-1.2 m, with water temperature approximately 28-29°C. Participants were required to attendat least 94% of the sessions. Assessments for participants included ADL functional field tests. In comparison to the C group, WEX participantsimproved (p < 0.05) flexibility (8%), sit- to-stand (31%), walking speed (16%) and stride length (10%), agility (20%), stair climb (22%), arm curl (39%), and static (42-48%) balance, but not dynamic balance. Results indicate that the S.W.E.A.T.™ method applied to this water exercise program provides a well-rounded, safe, and effective exercise program where older women can improve functional ADL and static balance. Key PointsOlder women with a variety of health conditions participated in 16 weeks of exercise (92% adherence) with no injuries.The S.W.E.A.T.™ method applied to this water-based program was found to significantly improve several aspects of physical function, including postural balance.This shallow water program provided a well-rounded, safe and effective activity for women to improve functional ADL on land.
