FIND OUT MORE ABOUT AQUA CYCLING

Aquabiking is a sport that simply involves cycling in water. It can be practiced individually (many pools offer it for swimmers) or in groups (this is more often the case).
This sport is ideal for developing your breathing, building lower-body and back muscles, but is also a real ally in the fight against cellulite.

Aquabiking is a sport that rapidly tones the body. It’s the ideal sport for those who want to resume physical activity gently, or avoid the joint pain associated with the impact of certain sports. The combination of speed and water resistance helps to strengthen muscles. The muscles most in demand are those of the legs, thighs and glutes. The rotation of the pelvis and the posture of the trunk also work the abdominal and back muscles.

Some benefits of aquabiking:

  • Muscle strengthening: Aquabiking mainly strengthens leg muscles such as the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves and glutes. The resistance of the water adds an extra level of difficulty, effectively strengthening and toning the muscles of the lower limbs.
  • Cardio-training: Pedaling in water is an excellent way to do cardio-training. Repeated leg movements and the effort required to overcome water resistance stimulate the cardiorespiratory system, improving endurance and lung capacity.
  • Low-impact training: Aquabiking is a low-impact sport, as the water reduces the pressure exerted on the joints. This makes it an ideal activity for people with joint problems or injuries, or for those looking for a less traumatic workout for the joints.
  • Calorie burning: Aquabiking is a calorie-burning activity. Pedaling in the water requires intense muscular effort, which contributes to energy expenditure and can promote weight loss.
  • Improved blood circulation: Water exerts hydrostatic pressure on the body, promoting blood and lymph circulation. Aquabiking can thus help reduce water retention problems, ease the sensation of heavy legs and improve circulation throughout the body.
  • Reduced stress and anxiety: Like all physical activity, aquabiking promotes the release of endorphins, the “feel-good” hormones. This release of endorphins can help reduce stress and anxiety and improve overall mood.

In conclusion, aquabiking is a complete sport with great health benefits. By pedaling in the water, you can strengthen your muscles, improve your cardiorespiratory endurance and enjoy the benefits of a low-impact workout. Whether for fitness, rehabilitation or simply the pleasure of moving in the water, aquabiking offers a stimulating and enjoyable experience for all fitness levels.

How to calculate the number of calories burned aqua cycling

The result displayed is expressed in Kcal and is calculated from the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task). The MET for each activity is the result of statistical data and cannot therefore be interpreted as an exact calculation, but rather as an estimate taking into account the MET value and the ratio between the time spent on an activity and the weight of the individual.

For example: the MET value for aquabiking is 8, which means that a person doing aquabiking consumes 8 times more energy than when at rest.

Discover the detailed formula to calculate your daily energy expenditure while aquabiking

Consumption in Kcal per minute = (METs*3.5*Weight in kilos)/200

For example, for a 60 kg person doing aquabiking for 30 minutes:
Consumption in Kcal per minute = (8*3.5*60)/200 = 8.4 Kcal/mn
So for 30 minutes = 8.4*30 = 252 kcal for 30 minutes
