What is a major drawback of continuous training mentioned in aquatic programs?

Continuous training in aquatic programs can lead to boredom and joint fatigue due to the repetitive nature of the exercise. When participants engage in the same activities over extended periods without variety, they may lose interest and motivation. Additionally, while water provides buoyancy and reduces impact, prolonged continuous activity can still lead to fatigue, especially if the intensity is not varied. This is particularly important for individuals with arthritis or joint issues, as overuse can exacerbate discomfort and lead to a reluctance to participate in future sessions.

In contrast, other options do not fully capture the essence of the drawbacks associated with continuous training. For example, the idea that continuous training allows for very little progression overlooks the potential for skill or intensity enhancement, which can occur within a structured program. Similarly, the notion that participants always feel energized is misleading, as fatigue is a common experience with repetitive training, particularly when it is not thoughtfully managed. Moreover, while certain equipment can enhance aquatic training, continuous training does not inherently require special equipment, making this point less relevant.
