Water exercise in thermal pools for heart health
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a 16-week exercise program in warm thermal water, along with drinking mineral water, to see if it improves heart health. It may be a gentle way to help your heart if you are over 45 and your health conditions are well managed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 looks at how physical activity affects the heart and blood-vessel health “profile” in women who have risk factors for a pregnancy condition (called GHD, related to preeclampsia risk). It may help researchers find safer or more helpful activity guidance before pregnancy.
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.
