Aquatic Exercises
Aquatic exercises are those activities that are related to water. They would be helpful for those patients with arthritis and other similar problems with your joints or muscles. Water generates resistance, which would improve the intensity of physical exercises. In addition, the buoyancy would support your body weight and ease the pressure or pain on the joints. In addition, older people who join in aquatic exercises would experience many other benefits, such as enhanced quality of life, better mood, better motion range, lowered body fat, as well as enhanced coordination. Ideally, you should do them around 30 to 60 minutes per week. [3]
