The benefits of exercise in water are many. Water gives a sense of wellbeing and relaxation. Pregnant women may feel lighter and have greater freedom of movement. Since most water-based movement involves concentric muscle activity, there is little or no soreness in the muscles after exercise in water. The women may well notice that they have more energy after the session and sleep better. There are also important physiological advantagesm which will not be so immediately obvious. As the women are exercisng in a supportive medium, there is less risk of injury or the jarring of joints. The hydrostatic pressure of the water may reduce lower-limb oedema and stimulate bowel function and improve respiratory function. Diuresis is increased. Cardiovascular fitness and muscle tone can be increased. Abdominal tone and posture can be improved. Exercise in water during pregnancy reduces pain intensity and as well as sick leave related to back and pelvic pain during pregnancy. Buoyancy is utilized to assist or resist exercises and to support body weight.
Aim for maintenance of fitness level rather than great improvement.
Time should be allowed after the session for the class to get together and to have a drink before leaving. This can be a very good opportunity for problems to be raised and for health education topics to be discussed. Finally, it should not be forgotten that aquanatal classes should be sociable, friendly, entertaining and fun! |
