Aqua Therapy for Fitness and Sports (Level 1)

Cardio aquatic therapy uses continuous rhythmic movement in water to elevate heart rate and oxygen demand.

Aqua Cycling: The Aquatic Workout You Need to Try

Because of improved venous return, heart rate during aqua cardio is often lower than land exercise at the same effort, even though oxygen demand is similar. This makes water ideal for:

  • Clients with joint pain

  • Early return-to-fitness after injury

  • High-volume conditioning with reduced impact
