- Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to verify the ground reaction force during the demonstration of four exercises in different surfaces with individuals wearing and not wearing tennis. Material and Methods: Fifteen female teachers of water aerobics that have at least six months of practice were appraised. Two OR6-5 AMTI (Advanced Mechanical Technology, Inc) force platforms were used for data acquisition. The four selected exercises were performed on four surfaces (three mattresses of same properties and different thickness and the own platform) with and without tennis. Was used ANOVA Oneway and Tuckey. Results: The study showed that there was not a uniform tendency of modification in the maximum force as a result of wearing or not wearing tennis. In some cases, wearing tennis caused an increase in maximum vertical force; in others, a decrease and in most analysis, differences were not observed. Considering the surface effect in two evaluated situations, the differences that were found showed that the thickness increase tended to raise the values of growth rate. Regarding the tennis effect, growth rate was larger with tennis wearing when there were differences. Impulse was not affected by the use of different surfaces when individuals were both barefoot or wearing tennis. Conclusion: Studies to minimize ground reaction force in water aerobics exercises are still necessary.
