The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of water therapy on temperature regulation, resting heart rate and body weight among adults. To achieve the purpose of the study 10 subjects were selected from the Department of Physical Education and Sports, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli. The selected subjects were aged between 21 to 27 years. The selected subjects were underwent water therapy for a duration of 10 working days. Temperature Regulation and Blood Pressure were selected as criterion variables for this study. During the training period, the experimental group took (drink) 1.25 litre of water every day in the morning up to 10 days. All the subjects involved in this study were carefully monitored throughout the training programme to be away from injuries. The training programme was scheduled for the morning between 5.30 am and 6.30 am.The collected data from the experimental group on pre and post experimentation were statistically analysed by using dependent -t- test. In all the cases .05 level of significance was fixed to test the hypothesis. There was significant reduction on temperarue and heart rate due to water therapy and insignificant difference was found on weight.
