“…Our results are not in line with those of Cibinello et al [ 41 ], who concluded that Pilates has not been confirmed to have an effect on the posterior chain flexibility and trunk mobility in healthy school-aged children. The children who underwent the intervention program of 28 sessions of exercises based on Pilates showed improvements in flexibility and mobility test results; however, there were no differences between these children and those of the control group.…”

“…Reduced flexibility in childhood and adolescence can lead to an increase in the risk of cervical tension in adulthood and a higher prevalence of lumbar hyperlordosis [ 40 ]. Thus, exercise programs that include stretching can promote a significant increase in flexibility in school age children and regular physical activity leads to improvements in the health of children and adolescents [ 41 , 42 ].…”

“…However, during the musicians´ learning process, their physical condition or postural habits necessary to prevent injuries associated with instrument practice are not frequently considered [ 8 ]. Therefore, it was decided to incorporate the Pilates method in this study in combination with therapeutic exercise, since the literature affirms that Pilates exercise combines core stability, posture, flexibility, strength, breathing, and movement control, including different exercises with different levels of intensity; moreover, this method produces positive benefits, including a reduction in pain and disability, thus improving the physical and emotional components of quality of life [ 27 , 39 , 41 , 43 , 44 ].…”

Background: Inappropriate posture in children while playing some string instruments can cause back pain and alterations of the spine. To date, there is no research on the effect of exercise on children who play a musical instrument, although it is known that transversus abdominis muscle control through the Pilates method has shown pain reduction and posture improvement in this population. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of the Pilates method combined with therapeutic exercise with respect to therapeutic exercise exclusively in reducing pain and improving postural alignment in children playing string instruments applying a protocol of low dose to increase children’s adherence to training. Methods: A randomized controlled pilot study was designed with two parallel intervention groups. Twenty-five children (10–14 years old) were randomized in two intervention groups: Pilates method with therapeutic exercise (experimental) and therapeutic exercise (control) for 4 weeks (50 min per day, one day per week). Two assessments were performed (before and after treatment) to assess back pain and shoulders and hips alignment using a visual analog scale and the Kinovea program. Results: Statistically significant differences were obtained for pain reduction before (p = 0.04) and after (p = 0.01) playing the instrument in the experimental group. There were no significant changes in alignment improvement in any of the two groups. Conclusion: The application of a low dose of the Pilates method combined with therapeutic exercise could be a beneficial intervention for pain reduction before and after musical practice in children who play string instruments.

“…The results of the current study resonate with the literature (Ludwig et al, 2018). Batistão et al, 2019;Cibinello et al, 2020) and found an improvement in body flexibility, joint mobility in younger schoolchildren, which means improved coordination and posture. One of the probable reasons for the improvement may be related to the fact that the student was interested in the results of his training and, most importantly, he saw these results, not in the distant future, but now, today.…”

The shift in emphasis from the motor sphere to the mental, psycho-emotional sphere leads to a decrease in the natural motor activity of the younger schoolchild, which actualizes the development of the functional and body adaptive capabilities by means of motor activity. In this regard, the formation of independence for physical education is one of the most important problems in Kazakhstani primary school. Therefore, this research has been undertaken to study: a) the state of work of the country's general education schools in the formation of independence skills in junior schoolchildren; b) the essence and features for the formation of the independence skill in younger schoolchildren through general developing exercises in physical education lessons; c) to propose measures that ensure the effectiveness of the physical education process in primary school to improve the physical fitness of schoolchildren, the formation of their motivation for independent physical education. The revealed results showed that the real experience for organizing physical education of schoolchildren in primary school is not effective enough. The present study points to the beneficial effect of general developing exercises on the physical development of children, especially on the development effectiveness of the independence of schoolchildren and their need for systematic physical exercise. Keywords: general developing exercises, formation, pedagogical conditions, primary education; primary schoolchildren.

“…And in terms of improving mobility, the Pilates method with its characteristic way of exercising has a significant impact (Segal, Hein & Basford, 2004), which can be seen in the research with different age groups. Pilates exercise gives results in terms of improving the flexibility of children and adolescents (González-Gálvez, Poyatos, Marcos-Pardo, Souza Vale & Feito, 2015;Cibinello, Jesus Neves, Leão Carvalho, Valenciano & Fujisawa, 2020;Hartono, Kesoema, Isma & Anantyo, 2020), students (Kibar et al, 2016;Ružić, 2020), middle-aged people (Kloubec, 2010;Gürhan & Kenan, 2020), the elderly (Oliveira et al, 2015;Oliveira, Oliveira & Pires-Oliveira, 2016;Oliveira, Pires-Oliveira, Aducarub, Oliveira & Oliveira, 2017;Oliveira, Oliveira & Pires-Oliveira, 2017). Based on previous research, the aim of the research is to determine the impact of a 16-week Pilates program on the mobility of middle-aged women.…”

The aim of the study was to determine the impact of a 16-week Pilates program on the mobility of middle-aged women. The research involved 16 Pilates female exercisers who have been practicing this recreational exercise for at least a year, three times a week. Shoulder Circumduction Test, V Sit and Reach Test, Groin Flexibility Test, Back Scratch Test and Calf Muscle Flexibility Test were used to assess flexibility. In addition to descriptive parameters, repeated-measures ANOVA and Fisher LSD were used in the analysis. 16-week Pilates program has had a positive effect on changes in mobility in female exercisers both in the upper part of the body, in the area of the shoulder girdle (p .05), and in the lower part of the body, in the area of the pelvic girdle and hip joint (p .05). There were no statistically significant changes in plantar flexion. It can be concluded that the Pilates program effectively affects the improvement of flexibility in the shoulder region and the pelvic girdle and hip joint, while in plantar flexors of the feet a statistically significant improvement in the level of mobility under the influence of Pilates exercise was not observed.
