RESISTANCE TRAINING

Progressive training program

Additional resistance

Without additional resistance

Small resistance boots

Medium size resistance boots

Large resistance boots

Group training

With maximum effort


”More you wave your limb, more water resists”


RESISTANCE TRAINING

Warm-up, 30-40 min resistance training, cool-down


(Pöyhönen et al. 2002, Valtonen et al. 2010, Valtonen et al. 2011, Waller et al. 2013, Munukka et al. 2016)

CHANGES IN WOMEN WITH MILD KNEE OA

Training was well tolerated

Cardiorespiratory fitness

improved by 9,8% (Munukka et al.

2016)

Body weight decreased

Fat mass decreased (Waller et al.

2017)

No effect on lean tissue CSA (Waller et al. 2017)

CHANGES IN WOMEN WITH MILD KNEE OA

No training effects on muscle

force, knee pain or other

knee symptoms (Munukka et al. 2016)

Walking speed increased by

training (Waller et al. 2017)

TAKE HOME MESSAGE

Aquatic resistance training has been well tolerated in all

phases of knee OA

Aquatic training has wide positive effects in lower limb

muscle strength and muscle mass

With aquatic training mobility limitation can be decreased

Aquatic resistance training is a powerful tool for

rehabilitation in knee OA



Thank you!
