Do You Know?

1. Deep water aquatic training was created for all levels of fitness. With the aid of a specialised vest or belt, the body is suspended in the water, preferably without the feet touching the bottom of the pool.
2. The device worn for this fitness technique permits a variety of movements in the water without any impact on the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, exercising in the deep water is unlike any other workout as it creates a zero-impact environment.
3. Benefits of deep water training
   • Muscular imbalance can be prevented or corrected as equal tension is applied by the water to the entire body.
   • Any resistance created is constant and smooth, thus preventing overstress injuries.
   • The entire body is cushioned by water, protecting weight bearing joints and internal organs.
   • Water provides constant resistance, causing muscles to work concentrically, and eliminating or reducing muscle soreness.
