This training due to the extensive number ofmodules can be used at any age regardless of gender. Aquafitness due to the environment inwhich  it  takes  place  gives  great  effects  in  the  treatment  of  osteoarthritis,  especially  incombination with other physiotherapeutic treatments and kinesitherapy.IntroductionOsteoarthritis  is  an  increasing  problem  nowadays.  Some  authors  call  it  even  acivilization disease because it affects more and more people after the sixth decade of life. It isestimated that about 8 million people suffer from this disease, of which 40% is a degenerativedisease of the hip joints. In Poland, the number of affected is about 2 million people, which is17% of the Polish population (US 12%). After the age of 75, degeneration of the joints affectsalready 80% of people and are the cause of severe pain and reduced fitness. Its most commoncauses are: hip dysplasia, diabetes, obesity, valgus and rheumatic hip and hypermobility in thejoint.Risk factorsThe  predisposing  factor  for  occurring  degeneration  in  the  hip  joints  is  usually389advanced  age.  This  disease  affects  both  women  and  men  and  predispositions  to  it  aremanifested by people with dark complexion [1, 9, 11].Water environmentIn  the  water  environment,  many  factors  affect  the  human  body,  including  waterresistance, which relieves joints and contributes to the increase of the range of mobility. Thewater resistance can be regulated by increasing the speed of movement or using accessories.Another factor that affects the human body in water is the buoyancy force, which contributesto the feeling of lightness in the water - making the movements easier and smoother. A greatinfluence on the human body in water also has a temperature (that is selected according to theexercise  specification,  usually  reaches  a  value  of  28-30  degrees),  water  viscosity  andhydrostatic pressure [2, 4, 6].Aqua fitness trainingTraining in water is a form of rehabilitation that allows you to quickly reduce weight.It  is  associated  with  a  greater  release  of  heat  from  the  body,  and  as  a  consequence,metabolism is accelerated. It also allows for faster removal of harmful substances from theblood [2, 4, 6].Aquafitness training consists of several modules that are suitable for a wide range ofpatients.  This training is intended for both women and men. Recommended especially forpeople  suffering  from arthritis,  osteoporosis,  for  people  after  minor  operations  for  fasterrecovery [2, 4, 11].This training allows you to increase the condition of the whole body and improvecoordination,  flexibility,  strength  and  endurance.  It  allows  reduction  of  swelling  andregulation of blood flow to limbs [3, 4, 11].The Aquafittness training includes: Aqua Jogging, Aqua Cycling, Aqua Aerobic, AquaPool Boxing Bag and relaxation modules including: Aqua Yoga, Aqua Pilates, Aqua Relax,Aqua Watsu, Aqua Areobic.390Physical activity, which moved from gymnastics on the hall directly into the aquaticenvironment. Its main task is to perform specific exercises by the participants to the rhythm ofthe music. Simple choreographies based on dancing [2, 4, 6].Aqua JoggingAqua Jogging is  a  form of  exercises  based  on the basics  of  aerobic  training.  Theelements of running training are used in it. It can be performed both in deep water and inshallow water [2, 4].Aqua CyclingThis training is carried out using bicycles in a water environment. It is used by peoplein which traditional bicycle training is not recommended.Aqua Pool Boxing BagTraining based on martial arts. It uses a tube overlay attached to the bottom of thepool. These overlays imitate training bags on which exercises are used, i.e.:  kicks, jumps,whole body rotations [4, 6].Aqua YogaYoga in the water is a form of relaxation which aims to reduce muscle tension andbrings rest to the whole body. It also helps to make the body more flexible and to increase thebalance [2, 4, 6].Aqua WatsuWatsu is a rehabilitation method used in the aquatic environment. It uses elements ofmobilization and stretching. An important element of this method is the right temperature ofwater, which should oscillate between 34-38 degrees [2, 4].Contraindications391Exercises of this type are contraindicated in people with large injuries to the nervoussystem, in people suffering from schizophrenia,  neuroses, acute and subacute myocarditis,endocarditis and pericarditis, bronchitis, pneumonia, acute inflammatory bowel and stomach[3, 5 , 8, 9, 11].Physical therapyPhysical procedures depend to a large extent  on the stage of disease development.Nowadays, it is said about the early period - which reaches its range up to 2 years, in theheavy  period  -  from  2  to  10  years  and  in  the  late  period,  which  lasts  over  10  years.Comprehensive rehabilitation regardless of the patient's condition is based on reducing pain,preventing contractures,  maintaining  adequate range of motion,  lowering muscle tone andimproving  local  blood  supply  [3,  5,  9,  10].  In  the  early  stage  of  the  disease  therapeuticproperties of UV radiation are used, which helps to improve blood circulation and soften skinelasticity. In the initial stage, a Sollux a Bioptron lamps are also used. In the next stage of thedisease, cold treatments are recommended: cryotherapy and treatments using electrotherapy:Iontophoresis, IF currents, Trabert current. Ultrasounds can also be used, which help reducepain and inhibit inflammatory processes. An important element is also balneotherapy, wherenatural peloids are used, including here: Fango and mud wraps [5, 9, 11].SummaryAquafitness  training  is  one  of  the  most  effective  methods  for  improving  physicalhealth and reducing pain in orthopedic patients. This training due to the extensive number ofmodules can be used at any age regardless of gender. Aquafitness due to the environment inwhich  it  takes  place  gives  great  effects  in  the  treatment  of  osteoarthritis,  especially  incombination with other physiotherapeutic treatments and kinesitherapy.Literature1.
