Abstract

The current study was performed to investigate the effect of hydrotherapy
exercise programs on some biological variables of swimmers.
This study included swimmers subjected to a hydrotherapy program to detect
some biological variables {physiology: pulse rate, lactate, vital capacity}
{biochemistry of nervous system: serotonin, cortisol, B endorphin} {growth: I G F 1,
b-F G F, T. protein}.
The analyses of the different variables occurred pre or post hydrotherapy
program. A blood sample was drained (5ml) before and after the program, which
lasted 12 weeks, performed in summer 2019,2020.
The results reveal statistically significant changes in the different variables
detected for the sake of the post hydrotherapy exercise program.
Conclusion: hydrotherapy provide support, increase circulation to the brain,
muscles, bones, and reduce fatigue and pain due to enhance endorphins and stimulate
neurostimulators and reduce stress and maintain nutrients for energy production
