Abstract

Background & Aim: Midlife is one of the most important steps of life that in case of lack of exercise, can lead to a significant reduction in QUALITY OF LIFE. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of AQUATIC EXERCISE on QUALITY OF LIFE, BODY MASS INDEX, and cardiovascular Markers in MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN.Methods: After measuring anthropometric markers, 20 women aged between 45 and 55 years were randomly assigned into two groups of AQUATIC EXERCISE (n=10) and control (n=10). In the baseline stage, both groups completed WHOQOL-BREF scale to assess the QUALITY OF LIFE. Moreover, BODY MASS INDEX and cardiovascular Markers were measured. The exercises in AQUATIC EXERCISE group were performed in 60 minutes sessions twice a week for eight weeks. At the end of the eighth week, study parameters were measured in both groups.Results: Eight weeks of AQUATIC EXERCISE significantly increased the QUALITY OF LIFE in MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN (P=0.001), so that in addition to the overall life quality scores, the subscales including mental health (P=0.001), social relationships (P=0.02) and environmental health (P=0.001) were improved. In addition, blood pressure (P=0.04) and BODY MASS INDEX (P=0.001) were significantly decreased.Conclusion: Eight weeks of AQUATIC EXERCISE may significantly increase the QUALITY OF LIFE and improve BODY MASS INDEX and cardiovascular indices in MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN.
