Background: The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of aquatic exercises on human physiology and examine the possible beneficial results of this innovative therapy as a treatment for obese and overweight patients. Materials and Methods:In the search for scientific literature related to this review the US National Library of Medicine (PubMed) used MEDLINE and Sport Discus data and the terms "aquatic exercise", "water exercise", "obesity", and "land exercise" were used.The relevant literature has also taken its source from the research of relevant articles from reference lists derived from data studies.Results: Considering its density and resistance, aquatic exercise increases calorie loss with less fatigue.Benefits such as fat burn, increased flexibility, increased body strength, improved cardiovascular endurance are positive for obese individuals.Aquatic exercise is also known to improve body composition, respiratory system and circulatory system.Not only it is beneficial in a physiological sense, but this type of exercise also provides a more inviting environment for obese individuals. Conclusion: The relationship between physical activity and obesity is unquestionable.There is strong evidence stating that aquatic exercise is more beneficial and efficient for treatment of obesity compared to land exercises.Aquatic exercise can be strongly recommended as a new way of therapy for obesity and offers promising results.Investigation of aquatic exercise's effects on obesity treatment should be further studied.
