Abstract

Deep Water Running, as a common way to counteract the decreasing cardio-pulmonary efficiency of body, has been known in many West European and North American countries since 1980s. This type of training was and still is willingly used by sportsman who due to injuries were temporarily excluded from normal trainings with a load of bone-joint apparatus.
Long-standing experiences of doctors and physiotherapists show that the skillfully applied Deep Water Running’s training has a lot of advantages, which can be also used by people suffering from such health problems as joints’ degeneration, obesity or physical coordination disorder. Only in a few health and rehabilitation centers in Poland the Deep Water Running is implemented. Due to health benefits of this type of training, it deserves an outline of its advantages and disadvantages as well as a brief description of the main methodological assumptions.

Key words:
