“…On the other hand, since the increase in ICW shows a positive correlation with muscle mass [42], as a result of checking the SMM in this study, it was found that all groups significantly increased muscle mass after exercise compared to before (CON group: SMM: z = −2.371, p = 0.018, PE group: SMM: z = −2.670, p = 0.008; Table 2), which is thought to be due to the increase in SMM as part of the weight gain. In the difference in the amount of change in SMM, the PE group showed a significant increase compared to the CON group, and the results were consistent with previous studies that reported an increase in skeletal muscle after Pilates exercise [43,44]. In addition, the same result was obtained by a study showing that the group who did Pilates exercise for 8 weeks for pregnant women increased grip strength [45] and that symptoms of urinary incontinence, which are common in pregnant women, were more effectively reduced in the Pilates exercise group than in Kegel exercise one [46].…”

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.

“…Contrastingly, mat Pilates resulted in significantly higher values for muscle strength. In essence, the mat Pilates method does not primarily aim to induce hypertrophy, a characteristic observed in other methods utilizing load to recruit and increase muscle fiber volume [ 47 ]. The method is characterized as a complement to hypertrophy’s role in augmenting muscle mass, with mat Pilates exercises emphasizing the quality of movement over the quantity of repetitions performed [ 22 , 48 ].…”

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.

“…A study by Queiroz, et al, 29 which evaluated the muscle mass of 43 elderly women with an average age of 73 years for 11 weeks, showed that 43 sessions of mat pilates, with a gradual increase in intensity, were sufficient to generate a positive effect on the increase of muscle mass in the elderly.…”

“…Results related to increased strength and muscle mass were also verified in other investigations that used mat pilates exercises. 26,28,29,30 This modality can significantly increase people's muscle mass and strength, as calisthenics are used when performing of the exercises, that is, the body weight itself serves as resistance when performing them. 28,30 Costa, et al 17 , aimed to evaluate the quality of life of elderly women who practice and do not practice the Pilates method.…”

Population aging is a global reality, affecting both developed and underdeveloped countries. In the Brazilian context, the number of elderly people has shown a rapid increase, highlighting the importance of approaches to promote active aging. The objective of this research is to highlight the therapeutic effects of the Pilates method on the aging process. This integrative review investigates the importance of the Pilates method for elderly people over 60 years of age, as an intervention method, mainly for the active aging factor. For this purpose, a bibliographical search was carried out in the Scielo, LILACS and Pubmed databases. Considering the continuous increase in the elderly population, the results indicate that the pilates method plays a fundamental role and is a valuable tool for each individual, carried out by trained physiotherapists, being beneficial in preventing falls, in addition to improving physical and mental conditioning, being a low-impact alternative that addresses several aspects, such as mobility, flexibility, muscular strength and balance, all of these physical capabilities are important to contribute to physical fitness. The regular practice of exercises, such as Pilates, shows us to have a positive impact on the quality of life, leading to global strengthening, bringing personal autonomy, in addition to contributing to knowledge and its implications. However, it is important to highlight that the research highlighted the need for more studies to understand these long-term effects and modality.
