Interventions/Control_1

Participants are randomly assigned to either water exercise group (WEG) or control group (CG). The WEG first participates in a 12-week water exercise (WE) program. Duration of the WE program is 60 minutes per session once a week. Total 4 instructors (main instructor: n=1; assistant instructor: n=3) provide the WE program. The WE program consists of warming-up (5 min.), main exercise including aerobic and strength training and stretching (45 min.), and cooling-down (5-10 min.). The participants engage in the WE program wearing the water grove. Before and after each 12-WE session, the participants are assessed the resting blood pressure and heart rate as well as evaluated their health condition for safe exercise participation. Also, the participants receive 15 minutes of health education about behavioral modification from the nurse practitioners before each 12-WE session, including lifestyle modifications (e.g., exercise and diet) and pain self-coping skills. An educational booklet and group work are utilized in the health education.

Interventions/Control_2

The participants in the CG are not provided any instruction from researchers during 12-week intervention period.

Results

No significant differences at baseline were found between WEG and CG in all variables. TUG, SS-5, OLS-O, BP, and PCS for WEG significantly improved from pre- to post-intervention (p<0.05) whereas did not change in CG (p>0.05). WEG significantly increased in GH following intervention whereas the CG significantly decreased from pre- to post-intervention (p=0.02).
