“…In summary, numerous studies have identified various benefits of Pilates for their practitioners (Yook et al, 2022 ). The influence of Pilates on posture and movement quality due to flexibility or strength is well documented (Xu et al, 2023 ).…”

ObjectiveThis scoping review aimed to identify studies that analyzed movement variability in Pilates. Following a systematic approach to mapping evidence on this topic would highlight concepts, theories, sources, and knowledge gaps in this area.MethodsThis review used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) criteria for the selection, reading, and analysis of studies in this area. We searched five literature databases (Web of Science, SCOPUS, library catalog of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education of the University of Coimbra—EBSCO Discovery Services, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar). Eligible articles contained the word “Pilates,” and the human movement variability was analyzed. Any type of study (except reviews) could be eligible and must have been published between 1 January 2002 and 30 November 2022, in Portuguese, Spanish, French, or English.ResultsOur search identified five eligible entries. Only one study used the Pilates method in its intervention, pointing to a more significant variability of hip–knee coordination, suggesting more diversified coordination patterns, and maintaining the variability of the angular position of the joint.ConclusionVery few studies have examined movement variability in Pilates, and only one applied an ecological framework.

“…However, the literature lacks clinical trials that provide evidence on the effects of low-cost and easily accessible training programs that are effective for the under-13 and under-15 soccer categories. Pilates emerges as a viable option that could be recommended as a complementary method to strengthen the muscles that contribute to the to body posture and, consequently, enhancing athletes’ performance, particularly during the growth phase [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. It would make an important contribution to trunk stabilization and allow children to perform better in sports by working deeper muscles.…”

“…It would make an important contribution to trunk stabilization and allow children to perform better in sports by working deeper muscles. As the muscles and bones are in the formation phase, the correct stimulus could lead to the best static body posture and for sporting gestures [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”

“…This phenomenon leads to notable enhancements in the efficiency of motor patterns and the optimization of neuromuscular responses, resulting in joint stability and precise alignment. The synchronization of breathing with movements is a distinctive feature of Pilates [ 12 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. This component contributes not only to biomechanical efficacy but also to trunk stabilization, enhancing movement efficiency and promoting body awareness [ 10 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ].…”

“…The present study focuses on integrating the Pilates method into the regular physical training regimen of youth soccer players, a context where personalized training is not commonly implemented. The objective was to assess the impact on strength and physical posture in a group practicing Pilates compared to another group not incorporating Pilates, both undergoing continuous football training [ 12 , 26 ]. The underlying hypothesis posited that Pilates training would lead to improved body posture and enhanced lower limb strength in athletes.…”

The interest in soccer generally starts during childhood, with children and young people often looking for opportunities in sports. New exercise techniques can be effective in improving training. The aim of this study was to compare the effects on the strength and physical posture of a group practicing Pilates with another not practicing Pilates, both undergoing continuous football training. In this controlled randomized clinical trial, the participants were 15 soccer club members, who had a training frequency of least three times weekly. The sample was divided into a control group (n = 7) of players who did not undergo any therapeutic intervention (only the usual training) and a Pilates group (n = 8) of players who participated in the mat Pilates program. The intervention consisted of fifteen sessions. Postural evaluations were performed using biophotogrammetry and force analysis. Significant improvements were obtained in terms of increased muscle strength (p = 0.001) for the Pilates group, but there were no significant postural alterations when comparing the two groups. Five weeks of mat Pilates was sufficient to increase lower limb muscle strength in young football players. This pilot study indicates that Mat Pilates as a method that could be planned to be included in training.

BACKGROUND: Core stability has been reported to be important for improving performance in athletes. However, the variety of measures used to assess core stability has made it difficult to compare results across studies. In addition, there is a lack of consensus on precise definitions of core and core stability, which is a barrier to research in this field. OBJECTIVE: The overall purpose of this review was to summarize the definitions of core and core stability and measurements of core stability used in previous studies on athletes. METHODS: We searched four electronic databases (PubMed/Medline, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science and Science Direct) from their inception to October 2023. Studies evaluating core stability in athletes across all sports were included. We excluded case studies and case series, opinion pieces, letters to editors and studies not written in the English language. Two researchers independently assessed articles for inclusion and exclusion criteria and methodological quality. RESULTS: One hundred thirty-four studies were included, of which two were of high quality. The definitions of core and core stability varied widely, and ‘core’ was not defined in 108 studies and ‘core stability’ was not defined in 105 studies. The most used test protocol was the McGill test, which was used in 19 studies. CONCLUSIONS: There are multiple tests to measure core stability, and there is some confusion as to whether the measurement results represent core strength or core endurance. Future research papers should clarify the definitions of core and core stability, and consider core strength and core endurance separately.
