“…Pilates activates the musculoskeletal system by using versatile movements in different starting positions, which helps improve strength, endurance, flexibility, and neuromuscular coordination (1). Movements, starting from the center and focusing on the whole body, help the body improve its physical and mental performance by providing strength, posture, balance, and coordination with more breath control (2,3).…”

“…Nevertheless, PE increases muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility and improves balance (8). PE can be an essential tool for improving dynamic balance and precise movement control for physiotherapists and exercise coaches (1). Besides positive contributions to athletes, PE has been reported to reduce pain and improve functional movements in people with low back pain (9,10,11).…”

Purpose: This systematic review aims to describe and summarise the effects of Pilates exercises (PE) on athletic performance in athletes. Methods: The published literature was reviewed in the electronic databases of PubMed, Web of Science, and SCOPUS between 01.01.2010 and 01.01.2022. The articles were determined according to the PICO criteria (population, application, comparison, and results) using the keywords "pilates training", "pilates exercises", and "pilates and athlete performance" in the title and abstract sections. The titles and abstracts of articles were screened for relevance to the main research topic of this study. Results: A total of 151 articles were identified from the database search. Twelve articles were included in the systematic review. The results showed that the studies carried out PE practice between four weeks and 14 weeks. Also, it was found that, PE helps to improve postural stability, static and dynamic balance, agility, muscle strength, flexibility, core strength, muscular endurance, general sprint performance, VO2 max level, coordination, and technical skills in athletes. Conclusion: Coaches and sports performance specialists can help athletes improve their physical performance and core strength levels by including PE in their training programmes.

“…Pilates training consists of a range of multidirectional movements starting with a variety of initial positions in which skeletal muscles are recruited in such a manner that benefits strength, flexibility, neuromuscular coordination and endurance. Training also offers different exercises for the trunk, lower limbs and upper limbs, which help improve body awareness, sensory motor coordination, economical breathing, body alignment, precision and fluency in movement [14]. They also foster greater breath control, strength, posture, balance and coordination, focusing on the entire body, starting from the core.…”

Introduction:Cricket is considered as one of the most intense game as it requires several hours of vigorous body movements for which quick reflexes, good strength, speed and power are the main pillars. Pilates is a series of exercises which helps in improvement of core muscle strength that further contribute in controlled movement of extremities, good posture, speed, power and balance. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Pilates training program on physical components in aspiring state level cricket players.Material and methods: State level aspiring 39 male cricket players aging between 18-30 years were included in this study which were randomly divided into two groups. Participants in control group (n = 19) performed only conventional exercises while in experimental group (n = 20) participants performed Pilates exercises along with conventional exercises 3 times/week for 6 weeks. The outcome measures for both groups were evaluated at baseline and at the end of 6 weeks which included upper and lower abdominal muscle strength, Speed, Hamstring muscle flexibility, Agility and Power.Results: Results of the study showed that both groups improved significantly (p < 0.05) at the end of the 6th week but experimental group showed more improvement in core muscle strength, hamstring flexibility, agility, speed and power when compared to control group (p < 0.05).Conclusions: The study concluded that Pilates training is an effective method for improvement in physical components such as abdominal muscle strength, hamstring muscle flexibility, agility, speed and power in cricket players. This may further enhance the performance of cricket players.
