Resumen
NAVARRO-RUIZ, Alba; CARO-ALONSO, Pedro Ángel y RODRIGUEZ-MARTIN, Beatriz. Efficacy of aquatic exercise in pre-fragile people over 50 years old. A systematic review. Gerokomos [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.3, pp.168-174. Epub 31-Jul-2023. ISSN 1134-928X.
This systematic review, type narrative synthesis, analyses the evidence on the efficacy of aquatic exercise in pre-fragile people over 50 years living in the community. Following the PRISMA declaration we conduct a systematic search of randomized clinical trials, quasi-experimental studies, and systematic reviews published in English and Spanish in Scopus, Medline (PubMed), Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ÍnDICEs CSIC, CUIDEN, PsycINFO, Cinahl, and ProQuest. Seven studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Aquatic exercise reported significant increases (p < 0,05) in strength, executive functioning, sleep efficiency, quality of life, postural stability, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, arterial stiffness, and blood pressure. In one study, strength and balance returned to baseline levels after 6 weeks of detraining. Although aquatic exercise can improve the quality of life of pre-fragile older people, future studies should investigate their cardiovascular benefits and consequences of detraining.
