Water Workouts Boost Endurance In COPD
Dear Reader,
C'mon in... the water is great! A small study finds that working out in water may beat land-based exercise for patients with chronic lung disease and other issues. A team from Australia found that working out in a pool upped physical endurance and energy levels in those who had COPD as well as eased complaints like back pain or conditions like obesity.
COPD is the name given to many conditions that cause breathlessness, things like chronic bronchitis and emphysema and is one of the most common lung diseases. Symptoms can develop slowly and some patients don't know they are ill. The World Health Organization estimates almost 65 million people have moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The condition can be treated with medications to open the airways or reduce lung inflammation and exercise to help improve symptoms.
Exercising can be particularly challenging for these patients... after all, it's hard to workout if you're having trouble breathing. Add other health problems into the mix and you can see why so many COPD patients have trouble sticking with regular exercise. Walking is a good place to start, but water workouts are likely another effective choice based on the findings of the Australian study appearing in the European Respiratory Journal, the first to examine the benefits of regular exercise in this group of patients.
Researchers led by Renae McNamara who is a physical therapist at The Prince of Wales Hospital located in Randwick involved 53 subjects assigning them to workouts in a hydrotherapy pool, gym based exercise or standard medical attention without any exercise recommendations. The exercise used were one hour long sessions three times a week for two months. A full 45 patients finished the study. Whether they did exercise on land or water, the subjects were able to walk faster afterward than those who just got medical care. Interesting that the subjects who worked out in the water said they felt less fatigued and had more endurance than those who exercised in the gym.
During a test where subjects had to walk as far as they could at a steady speed, those who exercised in water outpaced those who did their exercise in a gym by 748 feet (228 meters), well over the 203 meters researchers consider significant. Those who were doing water based exercise said they saw an improvement in many things, better stamina during daily activities like showing and dressing, as well as improved ability to finish formerly challenging activities such as walking a lot when shopping.

Water Workouts Boost Endurance In COPD Continued...
The water exercisers liked the session and reported feeling less depressed as
well as enjoying a sense of achievement at being able to workout (often too painful
or hard on land) and do something helpful for their condition.
Why was water so beneficial? McNamara has many thoughts on this. There's the buoyancy that supports body weight, reduces the force on joints and allows greater movement. Warm water helps with pain by increasing circulation. When it comes to COPD patients, there was concern by some experts that exercise in chest deep water would put the chest under pressure and make breathing harder, but the research team so no drop outs because of worsening symptoms in the swimmers, but they did lose subjects in the gym group.
Water based therapies are currently used to treat conditions like arthritis and joint pain. If you're looking for a program, check with you local hospital or healthcare team. You'll want a program that has an instructor to help show you the exercise and monitor your progress. The feelings and support of being part of a group cannot be underestimated and will have you feeling better than ever before.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
