underwater exercise

underwater exercise
exercise performed in a pool or a large tub of water. The buoyancy of the water allows much freer movement of weakened body parts than is possible under normal atmospheric conditions; water temperature and water currents can be varied for different therapeutic effects. Cf. Hubbard tank.
