Exploring the 'Aaah' ... $1 Million Grant Advances Aquatic Health Research
Date:3/19/2008

d the effects of exercise on land to exercise in the water. Hildenbrand will incorporate the aquatics research findings into WSU's athletic training program so its graduates have a sound scientific basis for the exercise advice they give to clients. "The lab links physiology, education, and athletics in ways that have opened collaborative opportunities throughout WSU and with other universities," said Hildenbrand.

As it is, a lot of advice given in the sports world is not evidence-based. For example, Becker said, football players spend time in chiller tanks after practice because they say it makes their legs feel better. "I have a gut feeling it works, but there is no science looking into the physical effects of standing waist-deep in 52-degree water for 45 minutes," he said. "We can measure things like blood flow, muscle oxygen delivery, and other measures that can really make chiller tank immersion more beneficial." Becker's goal goes far beyond educating the athletic community. "We need medical professionals to understand and use the benefits of aquatic exercise. The public needs to know also because you can safely do it on your own," he said.

Becker first became excited about aquatic rehabilitation when he worked in Eugene, Oregon, and saw how much it helped injured Olympic runners. But he was dismayed that there had been little research into its effects since before astronauts were sent into space. "Immersion is as close to weightlessness as there is on Earth," he said. Becker is fascinated by the mental as well as physical benefits of immersion. "Water exercise rivals meditation," he said. "You feel good, better than you do with other exercise. I want to find out what that 'aaah' is about."
