In this webinar, Nick Held, Research and Development Manager at Hydrathletics, will focus on the biomechanical alterations during running while immersed in water compared to land-based running. Water running has become commonly used by athletes, recreationally active individuals and practitioners for rehabilitation or as a form of cross-training.

This webinar aims to present findings in the literature regarding alterations in kinematics and kinetics during deep-water running, shallow-water running and underwater treadmill running. Additionally, Nick will discuss practical applications for underwater treadmill running and a protocol to transition from water to land-based running.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the kinetic and kinematic alterations during water running.
  • Determine the advantages and limitations of using water running.
  • Apply a return to running protocol to transition from water running.
