The effect of aquatic -training on Improving Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Senior Football Players

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the impact of aquatic exercises on improving cardiorespiratory
fitness among senior football players. The research was conducted on a purposive sample consisting of 10
players from the WRB M’sila football team. Where they were divided into two equal experimental groups. The
first experimental group underwent an aquatic exercise program, while the second group underwent the
team’s regular training program; The researcher used the experimental method by conducting pre- and post-
measurements of cardiorespiratory fitness using the Ruffier-Dickson test, The researcher also made use of a
program of SPSS.
The results revealed a significant improvement in the cardiorespiratory fitness of the experimental group
compared to the control group. Based on the findings, the researcher emphasized the importance of utilizing
aquatic exercises to enhance cardiorespiratory efficiency and provided several related recommendations.
