Effect of water-based aerobic training on anthropometric, biochemical, cardiovascular, and explosive strength parameters in young overweight and obese women: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Obesity is a major health concern that raises the risk of chronic illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic disorders. Traditional workouts such as running or walking can be difficult for overweight individuals due to the heavy impact on joints, which causes discomfort and the possibility of injury. Water-based exercises offer a low-impact alternative that overweight people may find more tolerable.
