Sažetak
The aquatic training methods are all types of training
while the body is immersed in water. The most important
factor influencing the body is the low impact nature of the
exercises. Thephysical characteristics of the water affect
human body during standing or floating in supine or prone
position. The level of immersion and the water
temperature will affect human body in rest but also while
doing aquatic exercise. In this review, the cardiorespiratory
changes during the aquatic training are
discussed, especially during the deep and shallow water
running. Also, the changes in neuromuscular status during
others types of exercise in water are analyzed. There are
possible benefits, as improving the physical fitness of an
athlete and accelerating the post-game or post-training
recovery which might be obtained during aquatic training.
Water environment is also favorable for injured athletes
during rehabilitation and also for other athletes that are
experiencing interruptions in training process and
competition programs caused by illness or other factors
such as postseason break. Therefore, it is important to
identify the effects and mechanisms of the aquatic training
that are associated with changes in physiological status
and athletic performance in athletes.
