The Big Picture: Dr. Puja Uppal says, “…take your fitness to the pool…”Doctor’s Expert Insights About Your Health and High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) in IndianaKnow this: “Yes, any type of exercise is good. From walking to taking a dip in the pool. Just do it! This new study is important because it continues to show that doing HIIT in the pool may give you about the same fitness benefits when compared to HIIT workouts done on land. The key benefit is less strain on your joints. So people who have certain conditions that limit their mobility like osteoarthritis could use the pool to get health benefits that they’re missing out on. If you can, try to get 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week. Just make sure you don’t become a prune!” Dr. Shelandra Bell, Family Medicine.Beyond the news: Aquatic HIIT (AHIIT) could revolutionize exercise prescriptions for people with mobility issues or chronic pain.

The participants had medical conditions that made traditional HIIT challenging.Aquatic HIIT improved exercise capacity just as much as HIIT workouts done on land.High adherence rate: 84 to 100 percent of the participants asked to do aquatic HIIT workouts completed the directed workouts.Buoyancy in the water may make it easier for people to complete HIIT routines.What they’re saying: “Despite limited data, there were overall fewer adverse events reported in AHIIT than with LBHIIT, indicating that the aquatic environment may be another valuable and safe place to complete this type of training, but further study is warranted. Therefore, AHIIT should be considered both a beneficial environment to increase exercise capacity, and a valuable alternative to LBHIIT in a range of chronic conditions, particularly if there are problems with achieving higher levels of function or exercise intensity on land. Nevertheless, despite the conflicting impact comparing land and water physiological maximal intensity and biomechanical speed data, our findings indicate that people with chronic conditions can achieve effective training intensities in the aquatic environment.” (Study Source)Health Standard Newswire: There are many health benefits in Aquatic High-Intensity Interval Training (AHIIT).Living in Indiana, the following health facts impact your physical health directly!Did you know there were 15209.0 deaths from heart disease in Indiana in 2021?6.1% of you in Howard County have coronary heart disease.83.8% of you in Howard County had a cholesterol screening in the past year.34.5% of you in Howard County are have high blood pressure.All of these variables above play an important role in the outcomes of your overall health.The Health Standard Newswire.
