“…The results of our study are also in line with the study conducted by Souza et al to investigate the effect of cardiorespiratory adaptation to Pilates training. They concluded that 15 successive weeks of Pilates training has a positive impact on cardiorespiratory factors such as VO 2 max and ventilatory thresholds in sedentary women with decreased respiratory capacity levels [32]. Our results are also in agreement with Niehues, who concluded that Pilates exercises increase the strength of the abdominal muscles, which could be the cause of improvements in diaphragmatic function, enhancements in respiratory function, and improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness [33].…”

Objective: This study intended to examine the effects of Pilates exercise on pain, cardiorespiratory fitness, functional ability, and quality of life in children with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Methods: Forty children with polyarticular JIA aged 10–14 years old were randomly allocated into two groups: the control group (n = 20) received conventional physical therapy (CPT), and the experimental group (n = 20) received clinical Pilates exercises combined with CPT. Patients in both groups received their program three times/week for 3 months. Pain, cardiorespiratory fitness, functional ability, and quality of life were assessed through the visual analogue scale, cardiopulmonary exercise test, 6 min walk test, and PedsQL scale, respectively, just before and after treatment. Results: Pain (p = 0.001), cardiorespiratory markers (all p < 0.05), functional ability (p = 0.002), and overall quality of life (p = 0.007) improved significantly in the experimental groups compared to the control group. Conclusion: Incorporating Pilates exercises into CPT is likely more effective for decreasing pain intensity, improving cardiorespiratory fitness, augmenting functional ability, and promoting quality of life in children with JIA than CPT alone.

“…The founder of this method, Josef Pilates, considered breathing to be the basis of all exercises (Pilates & Miller, 2021). Nevertheless, Souza et al (2021), Suzuki et al (1995), andTinoco-Fernández et al (2016) also found positive changes in cardiorespiratory parameters in women of different ages after regular Pilates exercise for up to 50 min. Niehues et al (2015) explained this finding by the fact that 'Pilates works through the core, made up of the abdominal muscles and lumbar gluteus muscles, which are responsible for the stabilisation of the static and dynamic body that is associated with breath control'.…”

“…Researchers concluded that an important advantage of the Pilates system is that it primarily focuses on developing functional, safe, and convenient activities rather than performing an exercise for the sake of exercising (Kao et al, 2015). Pilates exercise also improves the cardiorespiratory system and normalises blood pressure (Mikalački et al, 2017;Souza et al, 2021;Tinoco-Fernández et al, 2016;Tomilina, 2016).…”

“…Therefore, there is an obvious need for new research with high methodological quality and standardisation of evaluation instruments (Kloubec, 2011). Empirical quantitative data, indicating a positive effect of Pilates exercises on weight parameters, body composition, and cardiorespiratory functions of sedentary women of different ages and occupations are not enough to make objective statements (Mascarin et al, 2015;Mazzarino et al, 2015;Rogers & Gibson, 2009;Şavkin & Aslan, 2017;Souza et al, 2021;Tinoco-Fernández et al, 2016). According to Kloubec (2011), these findings are only the results of pilot studies and require additional clarification and confirmation in a specific population.…”

Background: Pilates training has proven to be an effective method of mental and physical conditioning in rehabilitation, and it has become increasingly popular within the general fitness community. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of Pilates training practice on the respiratory system, joint mobility, and muscle strength of healthy middle-aged women with sedentary occupation. Methods: Thirty-two healthy women (age 45.4 ± 2.3 years, range 40-49 years; body mass 73.5 ± 1.5 kg; body height 1.70 ± 0.03 m) were recruited and randomised into experimental (n = 18) and control (n = 14) groups. The experimental group participated in a 12-week series of 1-hour Pilates workouts (beginner level) three times per week. Results: After intervention, the experimental group revealed significant positive changes in the vital capacity test (p = .05), Stange test (p = .001), and Gencha test (p = .001). Respiratory rate and body mass index improved slightly. All joint mobility and muscle strength variables of the participants showed significant differences compared with the baseline data (p < .05). The most significant improvements were observed in variables of the shoulder girdle mobility during flexion (p = .003), abdominal strength (p = .041), and body strength endurance (p = .003 and .034). No significant changes were observed in the control group. Conclusions: The results confirmed that a 12-week series of 1-hour Pilates workouts three times per week is effective in improving parameters of the respiratory system, shoulder girdle, abdominal strength and endurance, and hip and shoulder joint mobility in healthy middle-aged women with a sedentary occupation.
