This statement below explains about one of the physical properties of water.
- Friction occuring between molecules of liquid resulting in resistance to flow
- Creates resistance with all active movement
- Increase surface area moving through water that will increase resistance
Surface tension
Buoyancy
Viscocity
Hydrostatic pressure
Choose the correct terms with its definition
Buoyancy - upward force that works opposite to gravity
Hydrostatic pressure - friction between liquid molecules
Surface tension - the surface of the liquid acts as a membrane under tension
Viscocity - pressure exerted on immersed object
Buoyancy's clincal significance in aquatic exercise...
provides patient with weightlessness and joint unloading, allow active motion with ease
increase pressure will reduce effusion, allow patients exercise easily when closer to surface
creates resistance with all active movements
using equipment at the surface of water increase resistance
