Traditional workouts such as running or walking can be difficult for overweight individuals due to the heavy impact on joints, which causes discomfort and the possibility of injury. Water-based exercises offer a low-impact alternative that overweight people may find more tolerable. There is minimal research on the specific effects of structured water aerobic exercise on health markers in young overweight and obese women, despite the acknowledged benefits of physical activity for weight control and overall health. This study aimed to assess the effects of 10-week water-based aerobic training (thrice a week) on anthropometric, biochemical, cardiovascular parameters, and explosive strength in young overweight and obese women.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p>In a randomized controlled trial with a pre-to-post testing design, twenty-seven young overweight and obese women (age: 27\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01 years; body mass index (BMI) = 30.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03.1) were randomly assigned into experimental (EG: performing a water-based aerobic training, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a016) or control (CG: maintaining their usual activities during the intervention, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a011) groups. The pre- and post-intervention participants were assessed for their anthropometrics (body height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat and circumferences), biochemical (fasting glycemia, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG)), cardiovascular parameters (resting blood pressure and resting heart rate (RHR)), and explosive strength of upper and lower limbs.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p>EG showed reductions in body weight, BMI, %BF, fasting glycemia, and TG, along with improvements in HDL-C, LDL-C, RHR, and explosive strength (all <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05; effect size (ES) = 0.180\u20131.512, trivial to large).
