Abstract

It is a topic that has not been sufficiently researched, thus requiring investigations into the results, that can be had if we apply water-based exercises. In this sense, we conducted a study, during 10 weeks, which consisted in developing and experimenting with muscletraining programs in the aquatic environment and on land, as well as testing two strength indicators on a number of 24 students, aged 20-21 years, who were selected voluntarily and divided into 2 experimental groups in order to compare the results of the development of muscle strength of the upper body. The same training and testing facilities, methods, were used for each assessment and lesson. Each lesson lasted between 60 - 80 minutes, 3 days a week. The subjects improved in strength scores significantly, as compared to the control group, which followed the same muscular training protocol adapted for land, having a value comprised between: 1,25 and 7,98%.
