Studying anatomy in aquatic workouts is important in order to understand what is happening to your body when exercising in the pool. Knowing the muscle groups and their function, gives you a deeper understanding of how to design aquatic workouts. For example, if you have a lower back pain, knowing the muscles that support the spine and the ones that assist in bending will help you design the right type of exercises.
The human body is composed of over 600 muscles that work together in harmony to perform various actions. In addition, there is a complex network of veins and nerves that connect to the muscles and enable them to do their job. Each of the muscles has a specific function that you need to know when deciding which exercises to use. For example, if you want to strengthen your chest muscles, you can do arm crossover or push ups against the wall. 
Then there are organs that are important for producing and delivering oxygen and nutrients to working muscles like lungs, heart, and kidneys. Those too are subject to changes in the body when exercising that you need to understand in order to maximize your body's performance.

the Triceps Muscle

Picture

Introduction

​The biggest muscle of the upper arm is the triceps, it's an upside down U shaped muscle that extends from your shoulder all the way down to your elbow, and it's one of the most important muscles in the arm. 

Function

​The triceps is made up of three muscles called the long head, lateral head, and medial head. These muscles are mainly responsible for extending the elbow. Triceps also help rotate the forearm and stabilize the shoulder joint. Triceps originate from your shoulder blades and insert into the elbow joint.​

Exercise

​Triceps Extension is the most popular exercise that targets your triceps muscles. You can do it on land and in the pool as well by extending your elbow underwater, using aqua dumbbells or any buoyant, to exert force in that direction. Another exercise which you can do is Triceps Dips on the pool side with your legs submerged in the water. ​

Stretch

Triceps stretch is done by holding one arm straight out and bending the elbow. Then, the other hand grabs the elbow and pull it down towards the floor. Hold for at least 20 seconds. The benefits of stretching your triceps include better flexibility, stronger muscles, more endurance and lower risks of injury.
