AB  - Su egzersizleri, obez ve fazla kilolu bireyler için egzersizi kolaylaştırır ve karada yapılan egzersizlere kıyasla yaralanma riskini en aza indirir; çünkü egzersiz sırasında vücudun etkili bir şekilde soğutulmasını sağlar ve kalbe kan dönüş hızını artırır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, obez kadınlarda su egzersizleri ve diyet programının fiziksel uygunluk bileşenleri ve yaşam kalitesi üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Çalışma grubunun ortalama vücut kitle indeksi (BMI) 34,49 ± 3,39 kg/m² iken, kontrol grubunun ortalama BMI'si 33,55 ± 2,58 kg/m² idi. Bu çalışma yarı deneysel bir tasarım kullandı. Çalışma grubu 10 hafta boyunca haftada 3 gün su içi egzersiz programı ve diyet programına katılırken, kontrol grubu sadece diyet programına katıldı. Demografik bilgilerin toplanmasının ardından, çift enerjili X-ışını absorbsiyometrisi (DEXA), obez bireylere özgü bir yaşam kalitesi ölçeği, denge testi, mekik testi, esneklik testi, duvara yaslanarak çömelme testi ve plank testi kullanılarak ölçümler yapıldı. Fark skoru analizine göre, obez bireylere özgü yaşam kalitesi ölçeğinde kontrol grubu lehine anlamlı bir fark bulundu (p = 0,03). Çalışma grubunda ise BMI (p = 0,01), denge testi (p = 0,04), plank testi (p = 0,031), DEXA yağ ölçümleri (sol kol, sağ ve sol bacak, orta toplam ve toplam; p <0,05), DEXA toplam kütle ölçümleri (orta toplam, baş ve toplam; p <0,05) ve DEXA vücut yağ yüzdesi (sol kol, gövde, sağ ve sol bacak, orta toplam ve toplam; p <0,05) açısından anlamlı farklılıklar bulundu. Su egzersizleri ve diyet programı, sadece diyet programına göre obez kadınlarda fiziksel uygunluk parametreleri üzerinde olumlu etkiler göstermiştir. Özellikle, vücut kitle indeksi (BMI), yağ kütlesi ve toplam kütledeki azalma, bu kombine programın obezite yönetimi için daha etkili bir yöntem olduğu fikrini desteklemektedir.

N2  - Aquatic exercises facilitate exercise for obese and overweight individuals and minimize the risk of injury compared to land-based exercises because they promote effective cooling of the body during exertion and increase the rate of blood return to the heart. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of an aquatic exercise and diet program on physical fitness components and quality of life in obese women. The mean body mass index (BMI) of the study group (SG) was 34.49 ± 3.39 kg/m², while the mean BMI of the control group (CG) was 33.55 ± 2.58 kg/m². This study employed a quasi-experimental design. The study group underwent an aquatic exercise program and a diet program 3 days a week for 10 weeks, while the control group underwent only the diet program. Following the collection of demographic information, measurements were taken using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), a quality-of-life scale specific to obese individuals, a balance test, a sit-up test, a flexibility test, a wall squat test, and a plank test. According to the difference score analysis, a significant difference was found in favor of the control group in the quality-of-life scale specific to obese individuals (p = 0.03). In the study group, significant differences were found in BMI (p = 0.01), balance test (p = 0.04), plank test (p = 0.031), DEXA fat measurements (left arm, right and left leg, mid-total and total; p <0.05), DEXA total mass measurements (intermediate total, head, and total; p <0.05), and DEXA body fat percentage (left arm, trunk, right and left leg, intermediate total, and total; p <0.05). The aquatic exercise and diet program showed positive effects on physical fitness parameters in obese women compared to the diet program alone. In particular, the reductions in BMI, fat mass, and total mass support the idea that this combined program is a more effective method for obesity management.
