THERMODYNAMICS Water temperature has an effect on the body and, therefore, on performance in an aquatic environment.  Specific Heat  Definition. Specific heat is the amount of heat (calories)required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by 1°C.  Properties. The rate of temperature change is dependent on the mass and the specific heat of the object.  Clinical significance. Water retains heat 1000 times more than air.  Temperature Transfer  Water conducts temperature 25 times faster than air.  Heat transfer increases with velocity. A patient moving through the water loses body temperature faster than an immersed patient at rest  AQUATIC TEMPERATURE AND THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE  A patient’s impairments and the intervention goals determine the water temperature selection. In general, utilize cooler temperatures for higherintensity exercise and utilize warmer temperatures for mobility and flexibility exercise and for muscle relaxation.
