“…Un segundo ensayo clínico aleatorizado, esta vez con mujeres tras dar a luz, comprueba que ocho semanas de Pilates son suficientes para mejorar la calidad del sueño frente a otro grupo de mujeres control (27) . En un estudio prospectivo, con mujeres menopaúsicas de edades comprendidas entre los 38 y 63 años, se demostró que 12 semanas consecutivas de Pilates mejoraron la salud mental, el rol emocional y la función social (28) . A pesar de ello, éstos autores reclaman nuevos estudios con muestras más grandes y con un seguimiento más largo para poder evaluar si los resultados positivos se mantienen.…”

“…Estos resultados señalan que existe una preferencia entre los investigadores por los trabajos de corte longitudinal ya que sólo dos transversales han sido incluidos en el presente estudio (25,34) . Sin embargo, el tamaño muestral en los estudios de Pilates suele ser pequeño como se observa en los trabajos analizados (9,28,37) . Esta limitación puede deberse a que las agrupaciones en Pilates suelen ser flexibles, variando el día o la hora de la sesión que mejor se adapta a las necesidades de los alumnos, y afectando de manera importante al registro y seguimiento del investigador, disminuyendo por tanto el número de sujetos que completan el estudio (9).…”

Introducción: El método de Pilates fue diseñado para crear una conexión entre la mente y el cuerpo, mediante un trabajo combinado de fuerza y flexibilidad, sin someter al cuerpo a una tensión excesiva. Objetivo: Exponer desde una perspectiva analítica-interpretativa los resultados de investigación más relevantes, en relación a la salud mental de personas sanas que practican habitualmente Pilates. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un análisis de los principales beneficios del método Pilates sobre la salud mental, con resultados de investigaciones terminadas; para ello, se accedió a las bases de datos ScienceDirect, PubMed y Dialnet para identificar publicaciones que relacionan Pilates con variables mentales. Resultados: Los 19 estudios revisados muestran evidencias científicas sobre los niveles de humor, autoeficacia, autoestima, estado de ánimo, estrés, calidad de sueño, depresión e identificación con el ejercicio físico. Pero al analizar estudios centrados en la atención, ansiedad-estado, afecto positivo o negativo y calidad de vida; se comprueba que la evidencia es todavía muy limitada. Conclusiones: Son necesarios nuevos trabajos de corte longitudinal con muestras suficientemente amplias que permitan despejar las incógnitas aún existentes en relación a Pilates; esto permitirá determinar si la elevada popularidad del método se asocia con los importantes beneficios reportados sobre la salud.

“…The calm nature of Pilates exercises has a beneficial effect on the seniors mental state [ 23 ]. Regular Pilates practice can not only reduce the risk of depression, but also improve the quality of life and well-being of older people [ 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Moreover, Pilates, the main purpose of which is to strengthen the trunk muscles, improves the general body fitness and has a positive effect on moving and performing everyday activities [ 27 ].…”

This study assessed the effect of Pilates exercises on balance and fall risk in older women. Participants comprised 50 older women aged over 60 years, divided randomly into two groups: the experimental group (n = 30), which took part in Pilates sessions two times per week for three months, and the control group (n = 20). The control group did not participate in such sessions but also did not participate in any other rehabilitation programs or additional physical activity except everyday activities. Before and after the training cycle, all women underwent an assessment using Timed Up and Go (TUG), the One Leg Stance Test (OLST), a test performed on a Freestep baropodometric platform, and the tests performed on a Biosway platform. After the training, significantly decreased values of the surface of the ellipse (p = 0.0037) and mean values of velocity (p = 0.0262) for the right foot in the experimental group were observed. The Limits of Stability (LoS) test (p = 0.005) and the Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (m-CTSIB) performed on an unstable surface with eyes closed (p = 0.0409) indicated statistically significant changes in the experimental group. None of the above changes were statistically significant in relation to the control group. Pilates training affected the participants’ balance by improving LOS and reducing fall risk.

Objectives Menopause is associated with complications that could decline women's health during this period. Therefore, some of its complications, such as hot flashes and night sweats, must be treated or alleviated. Methods This randomized controlled trial included postmenopausal women who were referred to health centers in Hamadan from May 2018 to April 2019. The hot flash and night sweat questionnaires were completed by the researcher a week before and 8 weeks after the intervention. The intervention group took one capsule (1,000 mg) of evening primrose oil twice daily, while the control group received the same amount of placebo. Finally, the results were analyzed using Stata 13. Results The mean scores of duration, frequency, and severity of hot flashes did not significantly decrease in both groups after the intervention compared with before the intervention, and no statistically significant difference was observed ( P > 0.05). However, the intervention group had lower frequency and severity of night sweats after the intervention than the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Evening primrose oil effectively decreased the frequency and severity of night sweats.
