Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION: Due to the benefits of aquatic exercising, it is important to quantify the metabolic demand of specific exercises performed in and out of the water environment. The prevalence of aquatic exercising is increasing due to the standard benefits of exercise, but with a reduction of stress and impact. Data from published studies are equivocal in the metabolic requirements using land-based treadmill and underwater treadmills. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the cardiovascular responses of oxygen consumption (VO2) and heart rate (HR) that occur when running on an underwater treadmill in 95° and 104° water temperatures compared to a land-base treadmill trial (LTM). METHODS: Fourteen college aged students aged (21.8 ± 1.7) years old, underwent three separate trials; running on an underwater treadmill in 95° water temperature (UTML), running on an underwater treadmill in 104° water temperature (UTMH), and running on a land-base treadmill. Subjects completed 7 total stages at UTMH and UTML, and on a LTM at a belt speed of (3.0 mph, 4.5 mph, 6.0 mph, 6.5 mph, 6.5 mph/30% jets, 6.5 mph/40% jets, 6.5 mph/50% jets) or 6.5 mph with increasing grade of incline of 1%, 2%, and 4%. A 3x7 repeated analysis of variance with Bonferroni adjustments were used to compare the differences between HR, and VO2 at stages 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 on LTM as well as on UTML and UTMH.The significance level for all comparisons was set to p
