Water exercise for heart health
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if exercising in warm thermal water and drinking mineral water can improve heart health in adults over 45. If you have a stable health condition and can do physical activity, this program may help your cardiovascular fitness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of water-based exercise—short, intense bursts versus a steady, moderate pace—in older adults with high blood pressure that is already being controlled. It may help determine which exercise style lowers blood pressure and is easier or safer to stick with.
This study compares the effects of exercising in heated water versus exercising on land for older adults with high blood pressure. It looks at how each type of exercise affects blood pressure, physical fitness, and quality of life.
This study tests whether regularly using passive heat can lower your systolic blood pressure (the top number) and improve how your blood vessels work. If you’re eligible, you may be randomly assigned to try the heat therapy as a 6-month program.
This trial tests whether high-intensity resistance training in water can improve strength and function in people with chronic heart failure. It's designed for those who are stable on medication and not yet in a rehab program.
This study tests a physical activity training program designed for wheelchair users to improve heart and metabolic health. You will attend weekly exercise sessions and your fitness levels will be monitored throughout the program.
This study tests if aquatic therapy (exercises in water) can improve walking, balance, posture, pain, and daily activities for people with Parkinson's. It aims to see if water-based exercise helps more than standard care.
