Advisor: Mollie Malone

2. Motivation Using other aquatic belts has been an unpleasant experience
Injured athletes have few rehabilitation options that offer:
High intensity workouts
Impact free workouts
Simulated running position

3. Problems of Current Aquatic Belts
Position the body forward
Improper exercise technique
Are not made for the athletic body
The athlete sinks
Ride up
Not adjustable for different types of exercise

4. Protocol Made for the athletic body
Ability to position athlete upright
Ability to stay in the correct position
Removable floatation pieces
Comfortable

5. Differences With My Design
Different size foam blocks
Removable blocks
Shorts to keep belt in place
Designed to keep the athlete upright
Positioning of the blocks is for this specific purpose

6. Materials Multiple size foam blocks Adjustable waist band
Possibly spandex/Lycra shorts
Flexible material as foam belt holder

7. Progress Preliminary foam belt prototype completed
Preliminary foam belt testing completed
Materials for shorts and foam holder are currently being researched

8. Future Short design Foam holder design Final prototype Final testing
Final research
