Resumen

   Primary objective  : To determine the effect of an aquatic programme on the health promoting behaviours of adults with brain injuries.
   Main outcomes and results  : Eighteen individuals participated in the programme and were randomly assigned to an experimental (   n   = 9) or control group (   n   = 9).  Health promoting behaviours, physical self-concept and self-esteem were  measured pre- and post-intervention. Significant differences and large  effect sizes were found between scores for the experimental group only,  indicating an increase in health promoting behaviours, physical  self-concept and self-esteem.
   Conclusions  :  Results have useful implications for health professionals as exercise  prescription may enhance health promoting behaviours and decrease health  care costs after a brain injury.
