Resumo: Human development is an inevitable process that occurs during adulthood. The human developmental process consists of several periods of changes with stages of development and decline; and therefore, it stands out as a phase with numerous losses. Adulthood needs to be reviewed in all its aspects, giving more emphasis to health promotion and maintenance. Physical activity leads to several temporary and future gains, looking for successful ageing, it also corresponds to a reduction and the postponing of developmental changes. Within physical activities/ one physical activity in particular, acqua aerobics, is an excellent choice for exercising and obtaining the expected benefits without harmful effects. It is an activity that takes place in liquid environment, where various healthy and beneficial changes can happen for humans. The justification for this study is the necessity to identify the specific physiological variables, with self-protocol, that could assist with the instructor’s future lesson plans. It is possible to consider that planning and prescription can be improved, offering healthier benefits. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to analyze heart rate (HR), blood lactate levels and answers on Borg Scale of Perceived Exertion Scale (Borg Scale) in water aerobics exercise protocol, inside and outside water, in adult women. This was a direct research method and fieldwork adopting the quantitative-descriptive method. The sample was composed of 72 women: 24 young adults, 21 middle-aged and 27 elderly, all of whom were healthy and able to fulfill the exercises protocol. The data collection took place inside and outside water; HR and blood lactate levels were verified before and after the acqua aerobics basic exercises protocol implementation and answers to Borg Scale were identified after the protocol accomplishment inside and outside water. As main results: significant in water HR rest reduction, lower in water exercise HR, but with significant difference only with total and young adult sample; and lower lactate inside water, rested as well as while exercising point out a significant decrease, in water, for middle-aged and elderly groups. With elderly age group separated in two groups with or without medicine for high pressure, significant difference was found in exercise HR inside and outside of the water. Although the resting and exercising HR in water was lower, when comparing the rise from resting to exercise HR, the percentages in water were higher than percentages outside of the water. Lactate demonstrated a similar percentage rise inside and outside of the water for the young adults and middle-aged group. For the elderly group, the lactate levels outside water were doubled. The Borg Scale comparison inside and outside water was not significant, being around 12 for all the groups. However, it is possible to affirm that HR and blood lactate are lower inside water. Nevertheless, more studies would be necessary with established standard exercises in order to obtain significant results.
