Strength Training in Waterby Christine Alexanderauthor of

ACSM recommends strength training2X a weekStrength training in water is an option that requiresan understanding of the properties of water1. Archimedes Principle2. Buoyancy3. Viscosity4. Inertia5. Acceleration6. Action/Reaction

Archimedes Principle – a body will float if it displaces water weighingmore than its own weight.Translation: Some things float in water, including this rubber ducky,and many of your clients and their limbs.Buoyancy – a force acting in the opposite direction to gravity.Translation: If you push the rubber ducky underwater, it will rise backto the surface of the water.

Viscosity – the friction between molecules of a liquid causing the moleculesto tend to adhere to each other and to a submerged body.Translation: The water has 12-14 times more resistance than air.Inertia – an object will remain at rest or in motion with constant velocityunless acted upon by a net external force.Translation: Stopping or changing direction requires more effort thancontinuing with the same movement.

Acceleration – the rate at which a body changes speed is directlyrelated to the force applied.Translation: Pushing harder against the water increases the intensity.Action/Reaction – for every action there is an equal and oppositereaction.Translation: A forceful action in water will noticeably pull the body inthe opposite direction.

Concentric contraction – the muscle shortensEccentric contraction – the muscle lengthensAll contractions are in water are concentric contractions,because the resistance of the water is in all directions. Ifeccentric contractions are desired, equipment must be used.

Submerge the arms when performing upper body exercises.Bend the knees to lower the body if necessary.Elbow flexion –concentric bicepsElbow extension –concentric triceps

Shoulder flexion –Concentric anterior deltoidShoulder extension –concentric posterior deltoid /latissimus dorsi

Shoulder abduction –concentric deltoidShoulder adduction –concentric latissimus dorsi

Transverse shoulderabduction – concentricposterior deltoidTransverse shoulderadduction – concentricpectoralis / anterior deltoid

Knee flexion –concentric hamstringsKnee extension –concentric quadriceps

Hip flexion –concentric iliopsoasHip extension –concentric gluteus maximus

Hip abduction –concentric gluteus mediusHip adduction –concentric hip adductors

Trunk rotation –concentric obliquesTrunk flexion –concentric obliques

Trunk flexion can be performed standing or suspended on anoodle

To increase intensity, take advantageof the properties of water: BuoyancySquatsLunges

To increase intensity, take advantageof the properties of water: ViscosityA hand closed in a fist or a hand sliced sideways through thewater creates minimal resistance.An open, cupped hand with fingers slightly spread is moreeffective at pulling water.

To increase intensity, take advantageof the properties of water: Inertia – Combine exercises, such as shoulderadduction & abduction with transverse shoulderadduction & abduction Acceleration – Push harder against the water Action/Reaction – Combine an exercise that pulls thebody in one direction with travel in the oppositedirection, such as transverse shoulder abductionwhile traveling backward.

The shoulder joint is a shallow ball & socket joint,built for flexibility.

Things NOT to do:Avoid wall hanging exercises.Avoid suspending the body fromequipment under the armpits orheld in the hands.

Things NOT to do:Transverse shoulder abduction with the thumbs downcauses shoulder impingement.

Things NOT to do:Plunging the arms in & out of the watermay cause a shoulder injury.

Weighted equipmentWrist weightsAnkle weights

Weighted equipment Elbow flexion – concentric bicepsElbow extension – eccentric bicepsShoulder flexion – concentric anterior deltoidShoulder extension – eccentric anterior deltoidShoulder abduction – concentric deltoidsShoulder adduction – eccentric deltoidsTransverse shoulder abduction & adduction – primarilyisometric deltoids to hold the arm up at shoulder height Diagonal scapular retraction – concentric trapezius &rhomboids Diagonal scapular protraction – eccentric trapezius &rhomboids

Buoyant equipmentDumbbells, noodles, cuffs

Exercises to tryAnkle touch – concentriclatissimus, eccentric latissimusDumbbell squat – eccentricquadriceps, concentricquadriceps

Exercises to tryCrunchSide to side extensions

Exercises to tryCuff lunges - eccentricquadriceps & gluteus maximus,concentric quadriceps & gluteusmaximusCuff side kick – eccentricadductors, concentric adductors

Drag equipmentWebbed gloves, paddles, kickboards,bells, resistant arm trainers, leg fins

Drag equipment Drag equipment elicits concentric contractions ofthe agonist muscles similar to submergedmovement. Resistance is greater however, because of theincreased surface area. Continuous movement with drag equipmentcreates turbulent water activity. The antagonist fires in an eccentric contraction toslow the movement and change direction.

When you abduct your shoulders with webbed gloves,your medial deltoids contract concentrically. But thenyour latissimus fires eccentrically to slow themovement and change directions to a shoulderadduction.

Exercises to tryCross-country ski with powerarms using webbed glovesChest press and standing rowwith resistance bells

Exercises to tryPaddles – free hold positionPaddles – hand brace position

Exercises to tryKickboard chest pressKickboard row

Rubberized equipmentSelect tubing made specifically for water as pool chemicals willquickly break down the rubber.

Rubberized equipment Muscle action created by rubberized equipmentis the same in water as on land. Any muscle action away from the anchored pointis resisted and concentric. Any muscle action toward the anchored point isassisted and eccentric.

Exercises to tryRowShoulder abductionElbow flexion

Stretch after strength trainingSince buoyancy supports the joints, greater range ofmotion can be achieved in water than on land.

Become familiar with the aquatic environment and use appropriateequipment movements for an effective strength training workout,and your clients will keep coming back for more.
