The purpose of this pilot exploratory study was to determine any immediate effects of a session of aquatic exercise (AE) compared with contrast therapy shallow water treadmill running (CSWR). Twenty-nine elite footballers were allocated randomly to AE or CSWR, 48 hr after a practice match. Outcome measures included maximum vertical jump height; visual analog scale (VAS) for pain; the squeeze test for adductor strength, sit and reach test, and ankle and hip range of movement. A significant difference between groups was found for maximum vertical jump height with the AE group being able to jump higher after the intervention (95% CI [-8.63 to -1.28]). No other significant differences between groups were detected for any outcome. Significant within group effects were found for the CSWR group in improving sit and reach (p = .04), and reducing pain when performing the squeeze test (p = .02). Both interventions may have improved aspects of performance; however, more highly powered trials, incorporating a control group, need to be conducted.
