Key result
Complex application of aqua-fitness training and endogenous-hypoxic breathing significantly increased absolute maximal oxygen consumption by 12.37% and threshold of anaerobic metabolism by 23.97% over 24 weeks.
Why the study?
Does complex aqua-fitness training combined with endogenous-hypoxic breathing improve aerobic energy supply processes in women aged 37-49 years compared to aqua-fitness alone?
Does complex aqua-fitness training combined with endogenous-hypoxic breathing improve aerobic energy supply processes in women aged 37-49 years compared to aqua-fitness alone?
Combining aqua-fitness with endogenous-hypoxic breathing significantly improves aerobic capacity and maximal oxygen consumption in middle-aged women compared to aqua-fitness alone.
May improve aerobic capacity when added to aqua-fitness in middle-aged women; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Purpose: substantiation of purposefulness of complex aqua-fitness training and methodic of endogenous-hypoxic breathing’s application for improvement of women’s functional fitness. Material: in the research 13 women of control group and 12 women of experimental one, who had never trained aqua-fitness earlier, participated. (Their age was 37-49 years old). Results: during 24 weeks, at different stages of the research (after 8, 16 and 24 weeks from the beginning of trainings by the worked out program) we determined indicators of power (maximal oxygen consumption) and capacity (threshold of anaerobic metabolism), which characterize aerobic processes of energy supply. Conclusions: it was proved that complex application of aqua-fitness trainings in combination with methodic of endogenous-hypoxic breathing is effective. It is witnessed by acceleration of increment of absolute and relative indicators of workability, maximal oxygen consumption and threshold of anaerobic metabolism.

Furman et al. (2015) studied Healthy (seeking improved functional fitness) (n=25). Complex aqua-fitness training and endogenous-hypoxic breathing vs. Aqua-fitness training alone was evaluated on Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max, ml/min) at 24 weeks (p=<0.05). Complex application of aqua-fitness training and endogenous-hypoxic breathing significantly increased absolute maximal oxygen consumption by 12.37% and threshold of anaerobic metabolism by 23.97% over 24 weeks.
