“…The main focus of the method is on trunk musculature; therefore, it can be classified as a program of "core stabilization" (Amorim, Sousa, & Santos, 2011;Akuthota & Nadler, 2004;Barr, Griggs, & Cadby, 2007;Stolze, Allison, & Childs, 2012). Pilates method has been considered as an important tool for rehabilitation and injury prevention (Anderson & Spector, 2000, Lim, Poh, Low, & Wong, 2012 and also has been the subject of recent trends in Brazilian scientific investigations (Bertolla, Baroni, Leal Junior, & Oltramari, 2007;Queiroz et al, 2010;Rocha-e-Silva, 2009;Sacco et al, 2005).…”

This study compares surface electromyographic activity of the internal oblique, rectus abdominis, multifidus, iliocostalis, anterior deltoids during the pull-up on a lower and on a higher difficulty level. We assessed nine adults with previous experience in Pilates. The root mean square (RMS) values were normalized by maximum isometric contraction for each participant. During the ascent phase, the low spring position showed a significantly higher RMS than the high spring position of 8.9% for deltoid, 17.2% for internal oblique, 22.3% for rectus abdominis, 4.1% for iliocostalis, and 5.6% for multifidus, and in the descent phase, the RMS in the lower spring exceeded significantly the high spring position in 1.6% for the deltoid, 10% for internal oblique, 31.4% for rectus abdominis and 11.4% for iliocostalis. There was no predominance of abdominal muscles over the shoulder muscle in any spring position. The pull-up exercise can be a useful choice for the core and anterior deltoid muscles strengthening.

“…Brunoni and Fregni 1 found that more multicenter trials are being conducted. Glickman et al, 8 who discuss the economic benefits of globalization, found that clinical trials increasingly occur on a global scale and claim that one-third of trials are now being conducted in developing countries, 9 as pharmaceutical and medical device companies have embraced globalization. 8 This clearly raises numerous ethical concerns, including the testing of drugs for wealthy populations in human subjects of developing countries, the exacerbation of economic disparities and exploitation of low-income workers in developing countries, and their exposure to potentially dangerous drugs that could not be approved for testing in developed countries.…”
