The aims of this review were to 1) summarise the breadth and types of research regarding the impact of aquatic exercise on mental health completed to date, 2) provide a clear indication of the intervention type, volume, measurement tools used, and populations best served in relation to this activity and its effectiveness and 3) to identify domains within the literature that can be developed so recommendations can be made for future investigations.
A scoping review was performed under the PRISMA guidelines. A systematic search of Pubmed, SPORTDiscus, PsycInfo and Google Scholar databases was conducted. Studies observing the effect of aquatic exercises on mental health and related parameters were considered for inclusion. The data from the selected studies were then extracted and analysed methodically.
Depression, anxiety, mood, self-esteem, and psychological well-being were the primary mental states for which findings could be clearly extracted.
Of the 1635 articles that resulted from the search, 23 articles met all inclusion criteria. Of these, 12 were randomised controlled trials. Cumulatively, the findings of this review trend towards aquatic exercise being effective in generating positive changes in mental health.
Aquatic exercise, specifically winter swimming, leisure swimming, competitive swimming and aquatic aerobics, can be a promising conservative therapy for mental health management. However, it is recommended that further research be conducted to solidify these findings and establish the long-term effects of this intervention on mental health.
本次综述的目的是：1）总结迄今为止关于水上运动对心理健康影响的研究的广度和类型；2）明确指出与该活动及其有效性相关的干预类型、量、使用的测量工具以及受益最大的人群；3）确定文献中的领域，以便为未来的研究提出建议。
根据 PRISMA 指南进行了范围综述。对 Pubmed、SPORTDiscus、PsycInfo 和 Google Scholar 数据库进行了系统检索。纳入观察水上运动对心理健康及相关参数影响的研究。然后从选定的研究中提取数据并进行系统分析。
抑郁、焦虑、情绪、自尊和心理幸福感是可以明确提取结果的主要心理状态。
从搜索中得到的 1635 篇文章中，有 23 篇符合所有纳入标准。其中 12 篇为随机对照试验。综合来看，本综述的研究结果表明，水上运动在改善心理健康方面具有积极作用。
水上运动，特别是冬泳、休闲游泳、竞技游泳和水上有氧运动，可以作为一种有前途的心理健康管理保守疗法。然而，建议进行进一步的研究以巩固这些发现，并确定这种干预对心理健康的长期影响。
