The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of an 8-week aerobic training in mineral geothermal water on hemodynamic variables, VO2max, and body composition in sedentary hypertensive women. Twenty postmenopausal women (58.55 ± 3.28 years) were divided into an exercise group (2 days/week, 30-40 minutes, 60%-75% of HRmax) and control group. Compared to the control group, a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure, heart rate, rate pressure product, body fat percent, and a significant improvement in VO2max values was found. Aerobic training in thermo-mineral spring water is a safe and effective training modality in the young-older hypertensive population.
