Key result
Aquatic high intensity interval training significantly improved peak oxygen uptake in women compared to no exercise (Hedges' g 0.610; 95% CI 0.277-0.943; P < 0.001).
Why the study?
Does aquatic high-intensity interval training improve cardiometabolic and physical health markers in women?
Meta-Analysis (n=476)
Does aquatic high-intensity interval training improve cardiometabolic and physical health markers in women?
Standardized Mean Difference: 0.61 (95% CI 0.277–0.943)
p-value: p=< 0.001
Aquatic high-intensity interval training has a moderate beneficial effect on cardiometabolic and physical health markers in adult women.
Supports AHIIT for women seeking cardiometabolic gains; confirms moderate benefits from 13 RCTs.

Kwok et al. (2022) reported a meta-analysis. Aquatic high intensity interval training (AHIIT) vs. No exercise training was evaluated on Peak oxygen uptake (Hedges' g 0.610, 95% CI 0.277-0.943, p=< 0.001). Aquatic high intensity interval training significantly improved peak oxygen uptake in women compared to no exercise (Hedges' g 0.610; 95% CI 0.277-0.943; P < 0.001).
