Abstrakt: The article presents a study, which examines the impact of a 12-week pause in water exercising on the functional fitness of older women. The study involves 31 elderly women, who have participated in an exercise program. They were assessed in November 2005 and March 2006 after stopping water exercise for 12 weeks. It is found that a 12-week pause in water exercise could affect the general functional fitness index (GFFI) of elderly women. It also indicates the importance of exercise in aging.
