AEA Water - Chapter 5 Exam Questions
And Answers 100% Pass
What are the primary ways the body dissipates heat in aquatic exercise? - ANS radiation,
evaporation, conduction, and convection.
Radiation - ANS Heat is lost through vasodilation of the surface vesselsl
Evaporation - ANS Sweat evaporates from the skin cooling the body.
Conduction - ANS The transfer of heat to a substance or object in contact with the body.
Convection - ANS The transfer of heat by the movement of a liquid or gas between area of
different temperatures.
How do you keep participants from chilling when entering the pool? - ANS Participants
should be encouraged to begin large muscle movements as soon as they enter the pool to
adjust from the change in air temperature to water temperature.
How do you keep participants from chilling during stretching? - ANS Participants should be
encouraged to maintain some type of movement during the stretch portion of the class to keep
core temperature from dropping.

What are ideal water temperature ranges for various aquatic exercise program formats? -
ANS 83-86 degrees F - for most water fitness programs, older adults (moderate to high
intensity), & children.
86-88 degrees F - for older adults (low intensity).
78-82 degrees F - for competitive swimming.
90-95 degrees F - for therapeutic and rehab
80-84 degrees F - Multiple sclerosis
90-92 degrees F - Parkinson's disease
83-90 degrees F - Arthritis
90-93 degrees F - Infant programs
83-85 degrees F - pregnancy
How can you overcome environmental difficulties in a pool setting to improve the quality of
aquatic fitness instruction and ensure the safety of participants? - ANS The instructor needs
to be aware of potential hazards associated with the aquatic environment. These include air
temperature, humidity and circulation. It is important to document and report hazard to upper
management.
How is radiation different from convection in heat dissipation? - ANS Radiation is heat lost
through vasodilation of surface vessels, and convection is the transfer of heat through the
movement of a liquid or gas between areas of different temperatures.
What are the possible problems associated with performing vertical exercise in water under 80
degrees F? - ANS Physiological responses will be altered; it will take longer to warm up;
participants might chill. With reduced blood flow to the extremities, there is a greater chance
for musculoskeletal injuries.
What is an ideal water temperature range for a typical cardiorespiratory aquatic fitness class? -
ANS 83-86 degrees F.
