About this study
To investigate the Impact of underwater exercise versus regular aerobic exercise on quality of life and power of muscle
Read the detailed description
To ensure statistical power and the reliability of results, the study will involve a sample size of sixty women between 16 and 50 years of age were randomly divided into an experimental and a study group (30 members each).
The experimental group will perform underwater exercise and the study group will perform regular aerobic exercise
- Conditions
- Muscle Weakness | Patient, Quality of Life
- Being tested
- Hubbard tank, Mat on the ground
- Keywords
- Under water exercise, Aerobic exercise, Muscle power, Quality of life
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Hubbard tankDevice
women will perform pelvic floor exercise and core stability exercise under water each session will be for 30 min
Mat on the groundOther
women will perform core stability exercise and pelvic floor exercise on the mat for 30 min
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| underwater exercise | Experimental | Hydrotherapy uses the water as a supportive tool to reduce stress on muscles and joints during treatment.
Performing exercises in warm water:
* Relaxes muscles, improving range of motion.
* Can significantly reduce chronic pain.
* Supports weight, allowing for movements that may otherwise not be possible. Receives: Device: Hubbard tank |
| regular aerobic exercise | Experimental | Aerobic exercise is a physical activity that uses your body's large muscle groups, is rhythmic and repetitive. It increases your heart rate and how much oxygen your body uses. Examples of aerobic exercises include walking, cycling and swimming. It reduces your risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol Receives: Other: Mat on the ground |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Visual analogue scale
A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is one of the pain rating scales and ranged from 0 point to 10 point. 0 point indicate that there is no pain, and 10 point indicates that their pain is maximum
Measured: The evaluation took place through study completion on 2 months
Dynamomoter
A dynamometer is a device used to measure grip strength, providing a quantitative and objective assessment of muscular strength in the hand and forearm. percentage will be in newton, the higher of percentage indicate increase muscle power and lower of percentage indicate decrease muscle power
Measured: The evaluation took place through study completion on 2 months
Psychological rating scale
Psychological rating scales are measurement instruments designed to assess and quantify various psychological constructs, such as attitudes, behaviors, and feelings. They allow researchers and clinicians to assign numerical values to abstract concepts, transforming subjective experiences into concrete data points
Measured: The evaluation took place through study completion on 2 months
