Synergistic Effects of Aquatic Exercise and Dietary Intervention on Biochemical Health Parameters: An Experimental Study Among Women at Abd Elhamid Mehri University, Constantine

The exponential growth of technological innovation has profoundly transformed modern lifestyles, significantly reducing daily physical activity.This shift has intensified public health challenges related to sedentary behavior, leading to rising rates of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, and psychological stress.Against this backdrop, the present study investigates the combined influence of structured aquatic exercises and a tailored dietary plan on improving selected biochemical health indicators among women.The study employed an experimental research design with a purposive sample of 21 female participants enrolled in an aquatic exercise program at a public swimming facility in Constantine, Algeria.The experimental protocol integrated aquatic aerobic training sessions with a calorie-regulated and nutrientbalanced dietary plan over a specific intervention period.The primary biochemical variables assessed included high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, cortisol, blood glucose, and hemoglobin levels.Findings revealed statistically significant improvements in HDL cholesterol and reductions in LDL cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, indicating enhanced lipid metabolism.Cortisol levels showed a marked decline, reflecting improved physiological stress regulation.Similarly, participants exhibited better glycemic control and a moderate increase in hemoglobin concentration, suggesting improved oxygen transport efficiency.Collectively, these outcomes affirm that combining aquatic exercises with an appropriate dietary regimen yields measurable improvements in key biochemical parameters, thus contributing to both metabolic and psychological well-being.This research underscores the vital role of water-based physical training, not only as a low-impact and jointfriendly form of exercise but also as an effective modality for improving metabolic health when paired with dietary discipline.The findings support the integration of multidisciplinary health strategies in obesity prevention and chronic disease management programs, particularly among women in Arab societies where physical inactivity remains prevalent..

Abstract

The exponential growth of technological innovation has profoundly transformed modern lifestyles, significantly reducing daily physical activity.This shift has intensified public health challenges related to sedentary behavior, leading to rising rates of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, and psychological stress.Against this backdrop, the present study investigates the combined influence of structured aquatic exercises and a tailored dietary plan on improving selected biochemical health indicators among women.The study employed an experimental research design with a purposive sample of 21 female participants enrolled in an aquatic exercise program at a public swimming facility in Constantine, Algeria.The experimental protocol integrated aquatic aerobic training sessions with a calorie-regulated and nutrientbalanced dietary plan over a specific intervention period.The primary biochemical variables assessed included high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, cortisol, blood glucose, and hemoglobin levels.Findings revealed statistically significant improvements in HDL cholesterol and reductions in LDL cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, indicating enhanced lipid metabolism.Cortisol levels showed a marked decline, reflecting improved physiological stress regulation.Similarly, participants exhibited better glycemic control and a moderate increase in hemoglobin concentration, suggesting improved oxygen transport efficiency.Collectively, these outcomes affirm that combining aquatic exercises with an appropriate dietary regimen yields measurable improvements in key biochemical parameters, thus contributing to both metabolic and psychological well-being.This research underscores the vital role of water-based physical training, not only as a low-impact and jointfriendly form of exercise but also as an effective modality for improving metabolic health when paired with dietary discipline.The findings support the integration of multidisciplinary health strategies in obesity prevention and chronic disease management programs, particularly among women in Arab societies where physical inactivity remains prevalent..
