Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Introduction: physical activity in infants through aquatic therapy is widely known for the later development of sensory ,cognitive and motor areas. In this way, babies will have a greater sense of freedom, pleasure and memory of the maternal uterus. In addition, the margin therapeutic safety in the water is very broad, which allows an optimal development of aquatic early stimulation programs.

Objective: To determine the relationship between aquatic physical activity in infants and the development of their psychomotor skills in their first year.

Methods: A prospective case-control study will take place for 12 months. Participating infants will be divided in two groups: an experimental group, which will be integrated by 74 babies who will participate with their parents in the aquatic physical activity programme in a heated pool (34-35ºC) and a control group with 71 babies who will not participate in the activities. The aquatic activity will consist on 20 minutes sessions twice a week.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Study group

74 infants who will practice with their parents a programme of aquatic physical activity in a swimming pool for one year. They will be evaluated before and after the programme.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aquatic physical activity in babies

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A programme based on four different types exercises realized in a swimming pool for twelve months.

Before the beginning of the aquatic physical activity, the infants will be evaluated. Afther that, the study group will practise the exercises with their parents in 20 minutes sessions twice a week and when they finish the programme they will be evaluated again.

Control group

71 infants who will not practice the programme. They only will be evaluated.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
