“…The aim of Pilates exercises is to protect general health, improve posture and coordination by increasing body flexibility, muscle strength, dynamic and static balance (6). Studies have reported that regular Pilates exercises with or without equipment improve sleep quality in obese and overweight individuals (11), reduce injuries caused by falls by improving balance (26), and give positive results on body composition by reducing body fat (20).…”

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of mat pilates exercises applied to sedentary overweight and obese women on body composition. A total of 22 (11 training, 11 control) overweight and obese female individuals aged between 35-65 participated in the study voluntarily. While 45 minutes of mat pilates exercise was applied to the training group 3 days a week for 12 weeks, the control group was not included in any exercise program. Age, height, body weight, waist and hip circumferences of all participants (training + control) participating in the study were determined at the beginning of the study, and waist/hip ratio, body fat percentage (BFP), body fat mass (BFM), body mass index (BMI) were determined by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (Bodystat Quadscan 4000) method, lean body mass (LBM) and lean body mass index (LBMI)were measured and the measurements were repeated at the end of the study. SPSS 22.0 IBM statistical package program was used to evaluate the obtained data. While evaluating the study data, descriptive statistical methods (mean, standard deviation) and independent samples t-test for normally distributed variables and Paired Samples t-test for dependent groups were used. Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test were applied for the variables that did not show normal distribution. Statistical significance level was accepted as 0,05. According to the research findings, when the pre-test-post-test values of the training and control groups were compared, the waist circumference, BFP, BFM and BMI values at the beginning of the study, and at the end of the study A statistically significant difference was determined in favor of the training group in all parameters except mass LBM and LBMI (p

PURPOSE This study aims to investigate the effects of a 12-week equipment-based Pilates training on physical fitness, cardiovascular function, and vascular endothelial function in obese middle-aged women. METHODS Twenty-four women, aged 30-40 years with a body mass index ≥ 25 and percent body fat ≥ 30% were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the Pilates training group (TR; <i>n</i>=12); and control group (CON; <i>n</i>=12). The TR participants underwent three 50-minute equipmentbased Pilates training sessions per week for 12 weeks. Participants in the CON maintained their normal life patterns for the same intervention period. Variables regarding physical fitness, cardiovascular function, and vascular endothelial function were measured and compared pre-test and post-test u a two-way ANOVA with repeated measures. RESULTS The main results of the study were as follows: 1) Regarding physique and body composition, participants’ body weight, body mass index, fat mass, percent body fat, waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio decreased significantly in the TR. 2) Regarding physical fitness, muscle strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and cardiorespiratory endurance increased significantly in the TR. 3) Regarding cardiovascular response, SV increased significantly in the TR. 4) Regarding vascular endothelial function, blood vessel diameter at rest and during vasodilation as well as blood flow volume during vasodilation decreased significantly in the CON, resulting in a significant interaction between group and test in FMD percentage. CONCLUSIONS It was concluded that the 12-week equipment-based Pilates program improved the physical fitness and vascular endothelial function in obese middle-aged women.
