Aquatic training is influenced by the physical properties of water and its forces, which may ease or hinder the proper completion of an exercise. It is therefore essential to formulate a training program specific to this environment. Monitoring the components of physical fitness and their proper execution results in an effective training program; biofeedback is based on such monitored data, as it is converted into visual or auditory information from physiological signals. SEMG systems convey these signals quickly, clearly, and objectively -- a task an individual subject is less likely to accomplish successfully. The association between SEMG data interpretation and internal information enhances performance and allows for the acquisition of new motor patterns.

The Benefits of Aquatic Biofeedback

1.  Obtaining quantitative data;

2.  A training program is based on an objective assessment of muscle activity;

3.  The training program takes into account the specific characteristics of different individuals according to the data bow and allows for modifications based on such differences;

4.  Achieve greater precision in the training program;

5.  Gain greater control;

6.  Transmit objective information in real time, such as the desired degree of muscle activation and appropriate movement patterns;

7.  Facilitate learning;

8.  Objectively monitor individual progress throughout the training

9.  Objectively justify the training plan;

10.          Monitor different fitness components: strength, muscle strength and flexibility;

Monitor the frequency, intensity and duration of training.

L’entraînement sous l’eau est marqué par les caractéristiques physiques de l’eau et des forces qui y sont actives et qui peuvent faciliter ou gêner l’exécution de certains exercices. Par conséquent, il est essentiel de formuler un programme d’entraînement unique et adapté au milieu aquatique. Le suivi du progrès physique et des mouvements exécutés devient alors crucial au succès du programme. Le biofeedback se base sur ces données et transforme les signaux physiologiques en informations visuelles ou sonores. L’information provenant d’appareils SEMG est plus précise que l’interprétation des mêmes signaux par le client, quoique les signaux proviennent de son corps. L’association entre les signaux reflétés par l’appareil SEMG et l’information interne résulte en l’acquisition de nouvelles organisations motrices et l’amélioration de la performance.

Les bénéfices du biofeedback aquatique:

1.  Les données sont quantitatives;

2.  Le programme d’entraînement est basé sur une mesure objective de l’activité musculaire;

3.  Le programme d’entraînement s’ajuste selon les caractéristiques individuelles des patients, et selon la distribution des données;

4.  Le programme d’entraînement est plus spécifique;

5.  Gain de contrôle grâce à l’accès facile aux données;

6.  La transmission de l’information en temps réel permet de déterminer le degré de l’activité musculaire propice;

7.  Facilite l’apprentissage;

8.  Le suivi demeure objectif durant l’entraînement;

9.  Le choix du programme d’entraînement est justifié quantitativement;

10.          Effectuez un suivi de plusieurs éléments (force, force musculaire, flexibilité);

11.          Effectuez un suivi de la fréquence, de l’intensité et de la durée de l’entraînement.

Texto de Apoio para material promocional

O treino em meio aquático, apresenta características específicas, relacionadas com as propriedades físicas da água e as forças actuantes presentes neste meio, podendo estas serem facilitadoras ou incrementadoras do grau de exigência do exercício. Torna-se assim fundamental a formulação de um programa de treino  específico para este meio. A monitorização das componentes do condicionamento físico  e  da correcta execução dos diferentes movimentos solicitados levará a uma maior eficácia do programa de treino.
O Biofeedback  assenta na  monitorizados e transformados em informação visual ou auditiva dos sinais fisiológicos. A informação produzida pelo aparelho de Electromiografia de Superfície (SEMG) é muito mais rica que a informação que o sujeito obtêm do seu sistema sensitivo intrínseco. A associação entre a informação artificial externa, obtida pelo SEMG, e a informação interna, originada no sistema sensorial, potenciará o aperfeisoamento e /ou aquisição de  novos  padrões motores.

Vantágens do Biofeedback Aquático:

1. Obtenção de dados quantitativos
2. Definição de um programa de treino assente numa avaliação objectiva da Actividade muscular
3. Personalização do progama de treino tendo em conta as  características específicas dos diferentes indivíduos de acordo com os dados mesurados.
4. Alcançar uma maior especificidade no programa de treino
5. Potênciar um  maior controlo Neuro Motor
6. Transmitir informação objectiva e em tempo real, do grau de activação muscular desejado e dos  padrões de movimento mais adequados
7. Facilitar a passagem de conhecimentos/ informação
8. Acompanhamento objectivo do progresso ao longo do treino
9. Permite justificar de forma objectiva o plano de treino selecionado
10. Monitorização das diferentes componentes do condicionamento físico: Força, Resistência e Flexibilidade Muscular.
11. Monitorização da Frequência, intensidade e duração do treino.

Through using aquatic biofeedback it is possible to become better.  One woman realized that comparing herself to a model is a waste of time. She cannot measure herself against anyone else. The only measuring stick she can use to evaluate herself is whether or not she is getting better in the areas she needs/wants to improve. No other person on this planet can be a better person than herself. Trying to be better than the next. If I constantly try to be better than I was yesterday. Here we see a young woman in a swimsuit. The picture could show a swimsuit by one of the three manufacturers that Jessica found. Women look really good when they where swimsuits manufactured by this company.  Biofeedback combined with these swimsuits is a winning combination.  Everyong can be brave enough to post a photo of themselves in a NAME OF MANUFACTURER swimsuit, they will look great and feel wonderful.
