“…Dados atuais consistentes sugerem que um programa baseado no método Pilates quando devidamente sistematizados e estruturados, podem ser uma estratégia bastante viável para o real incremento das capacidades físicas além da flexibilidade, dentre elas o equilíbrio, a mobilidade e estabilidade postural, reduzindo, assim, os números de possíveis quedas acidentais cotidianas 17 .…”

OBJETIVO: Verificar se o tempo de prática no Pilates e a prática adicional de outro exercício físico influenciam na aptidão física de idosos praticantes de Pilates. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: O estudo transversal foi composto por 60 idosos praticantes de Pilates de estúdios e academias da cidade de Maringá- Paraná, Brasil em 2019. Todas as análises foram realizadas nas próprias academias, sendo as variáveis sóciodemográficas analisadas por meio de um questionário semiestruturado e as capacidades físicas aferidas pela bateria Senior Fitness Test. As análises de dados foram conduzidas por meio da Anova One-Way e do teste t de student independente (p 0,05). RESULTADOS: Idosos que praticam o Pilates há mais de três anos apresentaram melhor desempenho no teste de alcançar atrás das costas (x = -4,96) em comparação aos idosos que praticam a modalidade entre três e 12 meses (x= -14,43 cm). Ainda, os idosos que praticam apenas o Pilates apresentaram aptidão física semelhante aos idosos que também praticam outro exercício. CONCLUSÃO: Não houve diferenças significantes entre quem pratica outro tipo de exercício físico associado ao Pilates nos diferentes componentes da aptidão física. Porém, o maior volume total de tempo de prática do Pilates, aparentemente, proporciona melhores resultados sobre a flexibilidade de membros superiores de idosos.

“…The analysis showed improvements in muscle strength and static and dynamic balance in older adults (14). Previous systematic reviews have investigated the improvement in balance after Pilates (14,15,18) and the prevention of falls in older adults (18,19). However, specific task training has been shown to improve balance more than Pilates-only groups (18).…”

“…Several previous systematic reviews ( [14][15][16][17][18] have reported on the effectiveness of Pilates. The practice improves health status, balance, muscle strength, flexibility, functional autonomy, muscle endurance, body composition and aerobic endurance (16), functional capacity to perform daily living activities (14), and quality of life (8,14,18).…”

Pilates Reducing Falls Risk Factors in Healthy Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background: The main theme of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to synthesize the evidence of randomized controlled trial of evidence of Pilates intervention, in comparison to control groups and other forms of exercise, for falls prevention in healthy older adults.Methods: The following electronic databases were searched up to October 2020; EMBASE, Scopus, Google Scholar, MEDLINE (Ovid), Science Direct, Cochrane, and CINAHL. The recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses were followed. A PICOS approach was adopted as a framework to formulate the research question and set the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were healthy older adults, defined as older adults who have maintained functional ability, including participants of both genders, those with a falls history, non-fallers, and individuals who were considered to be sedentary or active. Randomized controlled trials studies, written in the English language, from the decade, were included if they focused on specific outcome measures to decrease falls risk; functional mobility, mobility, fear of falling, gait, and postural stability. The PEDro scale was used to assess risk of bias.Results: There were included 12 studies. In total, 702 healthy older adults' participants were included. Pilates showed an effect in mediolateral directions in comparison to control groups (MD = −1.77, 95% CI, −2.84 to −0.70, p = 0.001, heterogeneity: I2 = 3%), mobility (MD = 9.23, 95% CI, 5.74 to 12.73, p < 0.00001, heterogeneity: I2 = 75%) and fear of falling (MD = −8.61, 95% CI, −10.16 to −7.07, p < 0.00001, heterogeneity: I2 = 88%). In relation to other exercises group, Pilates showed positive effects in functional mobility (MD = −1.21, 95% CI, −2.30 to −0.11, p = 0.03, heterogeneity: I2 = 80%), mobility (MD = 3.25, 95% CI, 1.46 to 5.04, p < 0.0004, heterogeneity: I2 = 0%). No evidence of an improvement was found between the groups for dynamic gait index (MD = 2.26, 95% CI, −0.05 to 4.56, p = 0.06, heterogeneity: I2 = 86%), anteroposterior directions of balance (MD = −1.58, 95% CI, −3.74 to −0.59, p = 0.15, heterogeneity: I2 = 51%) and functional mobility when compared to control groups (no exercise) (MD = −1.24, 95% CI, −2.48 to −0.00, p = 0.05, heterogeneity: I2 = 87%).Discussion: Pilates may be effective in decreasing the risk of falls in older adults. Pilates intervention was found to improve functional mobility, mobility, gait, fear of falling and postural stability and therefore there is some evidence to suggest that Pilates reduces certain risk factors for falls in healthy older adults. However, there is an absence of high-quality evidence in regards to the impact of Pilates on reducing falls and further robust RCTs are needed.Systematic Review Registration: [PROSPERO], identifier [CRD42021206134].
