Systematic Review for Standardization of Water Exercises Applied to Older Individuals

Abstract

The aim of this review is to examine the studies of water exercise programs, which have started to become common, for older individuals. Water exercises are among the main options for elderly individuals to perform regular physical activities for a healthy life. Many studies have led to the development of various methods and training programs on this subject, but a standard water exercise program hasn't been established in general. The training method and the selected movements are determined by the institution and trainer who applies the exercise program. In the review study prepared, the aimed to determine what should be considered to create a standard program of water exercise studies applied to elderly people. In this sense, it is goal to prepare the common water exercise movement list in the studies conducted. According to the determined keywords, articles were scanned in PubMed, Google Scholar and Science Direct databases. As a result of the screening, total of 279 articles were identified. Among these, 28 articles that are suitable for the content of the compilation were selected and a detailed examination was made. According to findings of the prepared study, a list of movements that were commonly applied in water exercise programs were prepared. The duration of general water exercises and general pool characteristics for elderly individuals were determined. As a result of the findings of the study, list of 19 items were proposed about the points to be considered while preparing the water exercise program and determining the intensity of exercise.

Yaşlı Bireylere Uygulanan Su Egzersizlerinin Standartlaştırılmasına Yönelik Sistematik İnceleme

Abstract

Günümüzde yaygınlaşmaya başlayan su egzersizi programlarının, yaşlı bireylere yönelik yapılmış çalışmalarını inceleyerek bunun derlemesini yapmak amaçlanmıştır. Yaşlı bireylerin sağlıklı yaşam için düzenli fiziksel aktivite yapmasında su egzersizleri başlıca seçenekler arasında yer almaktadır. Yapılan birçok çalışma bu konu hakkında çeşitli yöntem ve antrenman programlarının gelişmesine neden olmuştur ancak genel olarak uygulanan standart bir su egzersizi programı oluşturulmamıştır. Antrenman yöntemi ve seçilen hareketler egzersiz programını uygulayan kurum ile eğitmen tarafından belirlenmektedir. Hazırlanan derleme çalışmasında yaşlı bireylere uygulanan su egzersizi çalışmalarının standart bir programını oluşturmak için dikkat edilmesi gerekenleri belirlemek hedeflenmiştir. Bu anlamda yapılmış çalışmalarda yer alan yaygın su egzersizi hareket listesinin hazırlanması amaçlanmıştır. Makale taraması belirlenen anahtar kelimelere göre PubMed, Google Akademik ve Science Direct veritabanlarından yapılmıştır. Tarama sonucunda toplam 279 makale belirlenmiştir. Bunlar arasından derleme içeriğine uygun olan 28 makale seçilerek detaylı inceleme yapılmıştır. Hazırlanan çalışmanın bulgularına göre su egzersizi programlarında yaygın olarak uygulanan hareket listesi hazırlanmıştır. Yaşlı bireylere yönelik uygulanan su egzersizlerinin süresi ve genel havuz özellikleri listelenerek yaygın olarak kullanılanlar belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları sonucunda su egzersizi programı hazırlarken ve egzersiz yoğunluğunun belirlenmesinde dikkat edilmesi gerekenler hakkında toplam 19 maddelik bir liste önerilmiştir.
