Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of online high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in abdominally obese women experiencing health complications due to COVID-19. Methods: Sixteen participants were enrolled and divided into the HIIT group (n = 8) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT, n = 8) group. The HIIT group underwent 20 min of exercise consisting of 20 s of high-intensity (85–90% HRmax) exercise followed by 30 s of exercise at 60% HRmax using only body weight. The main exercise program for the MICT group included 40 min of stationary bike pedaling at 65–70% HRmax. Exercise was performed three days a week for eight weeks using a smart device and application that enables bidirectional communication. Results: The HIIT group showed reduced body fat (p = 0.036), BMI (p = 0.021), and visceral fat (p = 0.003) compared to the MICT group. Further, the HIIT group also had reduced insulin (p = 0.021) and LDL levels (p = 0.024), increased grip strength (left p = 0.012, right: p = 0.002), and a substantial drop in total stress index (p = 0.004) compared to the MICT group. Conclusions: Thus, online HIIT is a useful means to reduce abdominal fat, improve blood lipid profile and muscle strength, and relieve stress caused by COVID-19.

“…In addition, since the application of exercise programs that do not take into account individual characteristics and pregnancy status may negatively affect the mother or fetus, safe guidelines for exercise programs during pregnancy are essential. In this regard, it has recently been suggested that Pilates exercise is safe for pregnant women and can stimulate the muscles around the core and pelvis, and the ACOG also actively recommends Pilates exercise for pregnant women [18]. Pilates exercise has been suggested to increase muscle strength, flexibility, coordination, and pelvic stability in the form of a combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise [19][20][21], it especially improves physical discomfort in pregnant women and is effective for weight control and back pain [22][23][24][25].…”

In this study, according to the exercise intensity (50–60% of HRmax (Maximum Heart Rate), RPE (Rating of Perceived Exertion: 11–13) proposed by The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) for pregnant women, mat Pilates exercise is related to body composition, lipid parameters, and pelvic stabilization. The effects on muscle and muscle damage were investigated. The subjects of this study were 16 pregnant women registered at the Cultural Center of Gyeonggi-do C Women’s Hospital, and the gestation period was 16 to 24 weeks. The mat Pilates exercise program (twice a week, 60 min per day, total 12 weeks) changed the Pilates exercise program every 6 weeks according to the subject’s pain level and physical fitness. Body composition before and after exercise, hip flexion, abduction and dilated lipids, inflammation, muscle damage, and stress hormones were measured through blood biochemical analysis. First, the difference in total body water, intracellular water, and skeletal muscle changes (post-pre) increased significantly in the Pilates exercise (PE) group compared to the control (CON) group, while the extracellular/intracellular water ratio significantly decreased. The effect of Pilates on body composition and lipid profile confirmed that, after testing, total body water (TBW), intracellular water (ICW), and extracellular water (ECW) were significantly greater than pre-test values in both groups (TBW: z = −2.286, p = 0.022, r = 0.572; ICW: z = −2.818, p = 0.005, r = 0.705; ECW: z = −1.232, p = 0.218, r = 0.308), whereas the ECW/ICW ratio decreased significantly only in the PE group (z = −2.170, p = 0.030, r = 0.543); while the increases in TBW and ICW were greater in the PE group than in the CON group, the ECW/ICW ratio decreased significantly in the PE group. Blood tests showed significant increases in body weight (BW), body fat mass (BFM), and percentage of body fat (PBF) in both groups post-test as compared to pre-test (BW: z = −1.590, p = 0.112, r = 0.398; BFM: z = −0.106, p = 0.916; PBF: z = −1.643, p = 0.100, r = 0.411). There was a slight increase in creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), which are indices of muscle damage, and in the difference between the periods within the group, the CK and LDH of the CON group showed a tendency to increase significantly after inspection compared to the previous values (CK: z = −1.700, p = 0.089, r = 0.425, LDH: z = −2.603, p = 0.009, r = 0.651). Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) decreased significantly in the Pilates exercise group compared to that in the control group, and as a result of confirming the difference in the amount of change in C-reactive protein (CRP), there was no significant difference between the two groups, and the PE group showed a tendency to decrease after inspection compared to the previous period even in the difference between the periods in the group. The CON group showed an increasing trend, but no significant difference was found. Cortisol, a stress hormone, also increased significantly after inspection both groups compared to before (CON group: z = −2.201, p = 0.028; PE group: z = −2.547, p = 0.011). Therefore, the 12 week Pilates exercise program conducted in this study has a positive effect on body water balance and strengthens the muscles related to pelvic stabilization within the range of reducing muscle damage or causing muscle damage and stress in pregnant women. We think that it has an effective exercise intensity.

Purpose: This study aims to observe the effects of at home Pilates exercise, using a real-time web program in postpartum women where measurements of body composition, abdominal obesity, pelvic tilt, back pain and Oswestry Disability Index will be taken.Methods: Subjects included postpartum women under the age of 45 that were registered at the C Cultural Women’s Center in Bundang, Gyeonggi-do. All subjects were within 1 year of childbirth, had no medical opinion and were not receiving medication. A total of 16 people were enrolled in this experiment, which consisted of a Pilates Exercise group (EX, n=8) and a control group (CON, n=8). Measurements of body composition, abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness and circumference, pelvic tilt, pelvic strength, and back pain index were all assessed prior to being exposed to experimental measures. After 8 weeks of un-tact home Pilates exercise, a followup examination was conducted to observe the group-specific changes.Results: The group that participated in the un-tact home Pilates exercise showed a decrease in body fat, BMI, and visceral fat postpartum. Abdominal obesity tests showed a significant reduction in subcutaneous fat thickness, abdominal and hip circumference. The pelvic tilt test showed a reduction in the pelvic slope of the EX-group. Finally, the Oswestry Disabililty Index test showed the total score of the EX-group had decreased, confirming that Pilates exercise in this study was effective for back pain.Conclusions: Thus, un-tact home Pilates exercise using a real time web program is an effective intervention that can be used to prevent postpartum obesity by reducing abdominal and total body adiposity postpartum, assisting pelvic function, and improving muscle strength while also reducing back pain.
