This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Pilates and yoga participating in their functional movement and individual health level. Ninety volunteers were randomly divided into three groups and evenly recruited female and male participants in each group through a reliable organization. Their age group was between the 30s and 40s. They were informed the research process and assigned to the consent form. Pilates group (n= 30), yoga group (n= 30), and control group (n= 30) were assigned to fulfill short form of Rand 36-item health survey (SF-36) survey form based on self-administration method and were scored functional movement screen (FMS) test before the intervention. Pilates and yoga group were carried out certain exercise program 1-hr duration 3 times per week for 8 weeks. And control group did not perform any exercise during experimental period. After completion of the 8-week Pi-lates and yoga program, they recorded SF-36 and were scored FMS score for posttest in same way. When we compared the differences between pre-and posttreatment scores, we found that there was statistically significant difference among three groups on FMS (F [2,89]= 15.56, P< 0.001) and there was significant change in favor of Pilates group groups (F [2,89]= 52.36, P< 0.001) on SF-36. To conclude, Pilates group was more effective for improving functional movement and individual health level to assess quality of life than yoga group and control group.

“…Physiological studies have developed some hypotheses to explain the beneficial effects of physical activity on anxiety: it produces protective effects on neurogenesis (Moylan et al, 2013), potentially reduces hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system affecting abnormalities in the fear conditioning processing (Asmundson et al, 2013), and tends to activate anti-inflammatory mechanisms to diminish oxidative stress (Viana and Andrade, 2012). Research syntheses (Jayakody et al, 2014;Gordon et al, 2017;Stubbs et al, 2017) and cross-sectional studies (Vancini et al, 2017) have indicated physical activity as a positive mediator for anxiety in patients and practitioners. During the Covid-19 pandemic, behavioral studies have advocated for physical activity as a positive aspect when coping with anxiety.…”

Anxiety and Leisure-Domain Physical Activity Frequency, Duration, and Intensity During Covid-19 Pandemic

et al. 2020

This study investigated relationships between state anxiety and leisure-domain physical activity levels during Covid-19 pandemic. We used frequency, duration, and intensity as key variables of physical activity. Trait anxiety, state anxiety before pandemic, age, gender, and education level were also included in the analysis. Our general hypothesis was that participants who declared doing more physical activity levels would exhibit lower levels of anxiety during the Covid-19 pandemic. A convenient sample of 571 volunteer adults (mean age 39 ± 14 years) was drawn mainly from São Paulo State (89.2% of the sample), the epicenter of Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil. To obtain the participants’ levels of anxiety (trait, state before pandemic, and state during pandemic) we used a validated short-version of the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory. Levels of physical activity were measured via questions from VIGITEL, a validated questionnaire about the individual’s habits on risk factors. Answers were given regarding the first week of March 2020 (before pandemic) and at the very moment the participant was filling in the electronic form (June 2020). Data analyses were conducted through descriptive and inferential techniques, with the use of non-parametric tests and linear regression models. Overall, participants’ responses indicate that anxiety levels were higher during the pandemic compared to the period that preceded the pandemic, and that frequent and long physical activity in the leisure-domain reduced anxiety, regardless its intensity. The regression models revealed an inverse relationship between physical activity and anxiety (the more physical activity, the less anxiety) and independent of gender, age, education level, trait anxiety, and physical activity before pandemic.

“…Pilates has become a useful exercise approach to enhance the mobility/control of the trunk and pelvic segments, resilience, and functional capacity. Pilates’ concept focuses on spinal stabilization 3,4 . However, according to some authors, exercises are commonly done in the supine position, where there is less impact on the joints to support the body, especially the spine 1,2 .…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Pilates exercise program on health-related quality of life, pain, functional level, and depression status in university students. Design and Methods: The exercise programs were carried out for 12 weeks. The scales of Nottingham Health Profile, Visual Analog Scale, Oswestry Disability Index, and Beck Depression Inventory were used at the baseline and after training. Findings: Exercise should be encouraged to reduce pain and depression and improve the quality of life in healthy university students. Both Pilates and therapeutic exercises approach can be preferred. Practice Implications: The results of this study show the inability to identify clear different effects from therapeutic exercises on university students for Pilates exercises.
