Tianjin Water Aerobics Choreography Analysis

As China enters WTO in the new century,social civilization is moving forward,and the human and cultural environment keeps improving.Therefore,people' s pursue on beauty is getting stronger searching for more modern ways of doing exercise. Water aerobics is a very new sport in China.As a safe and effective exercise method,it is conducted in a special environment - water.It is because of the special features of water,buoyancy,resistance,pressure,thermal diffusivity and water attrition,which makes the movement design of water aerobics very special.As one of the earliest municipalities,Tianjin has a very high population density.People' s average living standard is relatively high,but water sports in Tianjin haven't been fully developed.This paper adopts documentary,interview,survey, observation statistics,and data statistics methods to do research in health clubs and schools in Tianjin where they have water sports.The research is focused on the analysis on the water aerobics movement design and approved that there are some problems exist in the water aerobics movement design in Tianjin.This paper makes some suggestions to Tianjin water sports coaches,which helps them to combine movements with water to present the exercise value of this sport.Two different kinds of questionnaire are prepared for specialists and targeted research object.Through the analysis on the current situation of the water aerobics movement design in Tianjin,the following findings are drawn:1.Water aerobics movement design includes five elements: movement,special characteristics of water,time,music and space. 2.Tianjin water aerobics movement design has problems in: movement design is too simple;there is a high percentage in fixed-spot movement,but jumping and gyrated movements are fewer,which is not attractive to people;over emphasize on the changes of hands movement and neglect the special characteristics of water.Movement design should focus on increasing people' s interest in this sport,and combine the fixed-spot movements with other movements in order to enhance the artistic quality of the set of the movements.3.In Tianjin water aerobics,design on movements that have to be finished in the water is very lacking.More such movements should be designed to present practioners' advantageous heart-lung function.4.Variety on space changes is also very lacking in Tianjin water aerobics movement design.It does not show the three dimension of this sport:on the water - in the water - under the water.Hence,visual effect of this sport is not good. Design on movements should fully consider the space elements to enhance the visual effect and the attractiveness of the practice.5.There is no strict time allocation arrangement on movements.That how long each movement takes should strictly follow requirements which should be decided in the process of movement design.This is to realize aerobic exercise in the water and guarantee the worthiness to do exercise in the water.
