Abstract

This research aimed to develop and implement preventative exercises in an aquatic environment to strengthen back muscles among a sample of lifeguards at the Yarmouk Recreational Club, and to determine their effect on improving spinal flexibility and muscular strength. The researcher used a single-group experimental design, conducting pre- and post-tests on a sample of seven individuals. The training program was based on a set of preventative exercises performed in the aquatic environment, given its advantages such as reducing stress on the joints and providing natural resistance beneficial for strength development. Measurement tools included tests of anterior and posterior spinal flexibility and back muscle strength using a dynamometer. The results showed statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-tests, favoring the post-tests in all variables, indicating the effectiveness of aquatic preventative exercises in improving spinal flexibility and increasing back muscle strength. This improvement underscores the need for a gradual increase in intensity and variety in the adoptedaquaticexercises.
