Weekly Water Exercise Provides Balance Bonus
Weekly Water Exercise
A program of weekly water exercise can provide significant benefits for physical functioning in community-dwelling older people, according to a study by a group of Sydney health researchers.
Participants who completed a 22 week exercise program showed significantly improved leaning balance – as measured by tests of maximal balance range and coordinated stability – and shoulder range of motion. The research group reported that water exercise could produce benefits with regard to improving balance and flexibility in older people.
