Aim and method. to examine in obese people the potential effectiveness of a six-week,two times weekly aquajogging program on body composition,fitness,health-related quality of life,and exercise beliefs. fifteen otherwise healthy obese persons participated in a pilot study. results. total fat mass and waist circumference decreased 1.4 kg (p=.03) and 3.1 cm (p=.005),respectively. the distance in the six-minute walk test increased 41 meters (p=.001). three scales of the impact of weight on quality of life-lite questionnaire improved: physical function (p=.008),self-esteem (p=.004),and public distress (p=.04). increased perceived exercise benefits (p=.02) and decreased embarrassment (p=.03) were observed. conclusions. aquajogging was associated with reduced body fat and waist circumference and improved aerobic fitness and quality of life. these findings suggest the usefulness of conducting a randomized controlled trial with long-term outcome assessments. © 2010 eveline j. m.wouters et al..
