Abstract

Aqua running is an effective form of cardiovascular conditioning for both injured athletes and those who desire a low-impact aerobic workout. Sufficient cardiovascular responses have been demonstrated to result in a training effect. Understanding the bioengineering principles of the aquatic environment, proper technique, physiological response, and methods of exercise prescription help practitioners incorporate aqua running into rehabilitation and training programs.
