Deep-water running (DWR) is performed in the deep end of a swimming pool, normally with the aid of a flotation vest or a special suit with hydro buoyancy system. The method is used for preventing injuries, recovery from strenuous exercise or competition, and as a form of complementary training for cardiovascular fitness. Responses to training programmes have confirmed the efficacy of deep-water running but proper DWR technique should mimic the patterns of land-based running. The concept of training specificity should be further considered when prescribing DWR and using it as an enhancement tool or substitute for dry land running. Although cardiorespiratory responses during DWR are well studied, further investigations should concentrate on identifying how active specific muscles during DWR.
