“…The controlled and precise performance of mat Pilates exercises induces muscle strengthening, enhancing the strength, endurance, and flexibility of the involved muscles. These improvements can be attributed to structural and functional changes in the muscle sarcomeres, as well as modifications in the biomechanical properties of tendons and ligaments [ 13 , 14 , 15 ]. The emphasis on motor control during Pilates practice plays a crucial role in this process, inciting neural plasticity and facilitating refined coordination between cortical motor centers and peripheral motor units [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ].…”
