Research project on the therapeutic properties of pools

We are conducting a research project on the therapeutic properties of pools alongside the charity Obra Social Sant Joan de Déu and Fluidra.

The title of the study is Sport and mental health. The practice of sports activities in pools as a tool for social inclusion. The aim of the study is to demonstrate how playing sport in pools serves as a tool for improving the physical and mental health of the population in general that of people with severe mental disorders in particular.

In parallel to conducting the study, based on the results complied by the medical and scientific community at Sant Joan de Déu, Fluidra’s R&D Department will draw up a set of recommendations that will give guidelines for exercises and practical routines that can be done in a pool, intended to stimulate an enhanced physical and emotional state of the general population. These recommendations will make it possible to do healthy exercises classified according to the type of therapy, group or situation of users.
