The purpose of this study was to clear the safety and validity of aquatic exercises for the aged considering from a viewpoint of blood pressure.
Eight males and twenty six females served as subjects classified into three classes. They performed the exercise in air and in water for four-teen min. The exercise (40〜60% Vo₂max) was composed of four elements, stretching, warm-up, main exercise, cool-down for aquatic exercises.
Water and room temperature was 30℃. Heart rate at the three groups for in water was significantly lower than in air.
