Effect of Nordic walking and Aquatic exercise on Oxidative stress and Pain in women with Degenerative Arthritis
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Nordic walking and aquatic exercise on oxidative stress and pain in women with degenerative Arthritis. 28 women with degenerative Arthritis completed three different experimental conditions: (1) Nordic walking 4 times a week for 8 weeks; (2) Aquatic exercise 4 times a week for 8 weeks; (3) control group. Blood was sampled before and after experimentation. Visual analog scale(VAS) score was obtained at the same time point. Plasma was analyzed for free oxygen radical and total antioxidant capacity. Nordic walking exercise was more effective on body composition factors, weight and fat free mass, than aquatic exercise program. However, these changes of body composition factors were not related to pain in this study. Blood free oxygen radical concentration was more effective on pain in women with degenerative Arthritis than total antioxidant level. In conclusion, there is a preponderance of evidence that both land-based exercise program and aquatic exercise in combination including decreases of ROS, are safe and moderately effective for individuals with degenerative Arthritis.
Key words: Nordic walking and Aquatic exercise, Oxidative stress, pain, degenerative Arthritis
