Pilates is effective for training the core muscles and stabilizing the hip joints, which provides relief from pelvic pain and low back pain during pregnancy. However, there are no specific guidelines on appropriate physical exercises for pregnant women due to the current pandemic. We aimed to apply the exercise standard proposed by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to home-based tele-Pilates exercise (HTPE), to determine its effect on the physical and mental health of pregnant women. We randomly divided the subjects into the following two groups who completed 8 weeks of HTPE (50 min/day, 2 days/week): (a) Pilates exercise (PE, n = 7) and (B) non-Pilates exercise (CON, n = 7). HTPE was performed by adjusting the program every 3 weeks, based on pain and physical fitness levels. We measured body composition, muscles of the hip joint, pelvic tilt, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), before and after HTPE. Following HTPE, while the percentage of body fat and body mass index had significantly decreased, the body fat mass did not change in the PE group (p < 0.05). The PE group showed an increase in strength of the left and right hip flexion and hip abduction, compared to the CON group (p < 0.01). The ODI and PSQI were significantly decreased in the PE group (p < 0.05). Therefore, the 8-week HTPE program is an effective exercise for pregnant woman that reduces body fat metabolism and strengthens muscles of the hip joint, thus alleviating pregnancy-induced low back pain and insomnia.

Objective:The aim of this study is to investigate effective eccentric exercise methods by analyzing gluteus maximus and hamstring muscle activity through various treadmill exercises with differences in speed and stride length. Design: Cross-sectional design Methods: Twenty healthy men were instructed to perform hamstring eccentric exercise with treadmill. Treadmill exercises were performed at speeds of 0.4 km/h, 0.8 km/h, and 1.2 km/h. For each speed, the exercise was conducted at the subject's normal stride length, -10% stride length, and +10% stride length of the normal stride length. EMG (Electromyography) data (% maximum voluntary isometric contraction) were recorded three times from the gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, semitendinosus of participant's and the mean values were analyzed. Results: There was a significant difference in speed for Gluteus maximus, Biceps femoris, Semitendinosus (p＜0.05), but there was no significant difference in stride length and interaction between speed and stride length. All muscles groups showed greater activity as the speed increased (p＜0.05). Conclusions: Hamstring eccentric exercise with a treadmill shows higher muscle activation as the speed increases and is especially optimized for activating the biceps femoris muscle.

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.
