“…Em relação ao perfil de prática dos idosos praticantes de Pilates reportados, somente um idoso relatou que realizava mais de duas sessões semanais, as recomendações para flexibilidade sugerem que qualquer atividade capaz de manter ou aumentar a flexibilidade com intensidade moderada deve ser realizada pelo menos 2 vezes por semana 9 . Nessa lógica, maiores volumes totais de prática do Pilates, aumentaram consideravelmente as chances do desenvolvimento do maior incremento da flexibilidade para os membros superiores representado pelas mobilidades dos ombros.…”

“…No que diz respeito aos benefícios do Pilates, podemos citar os aumentos na força/resistência muscular, flexibilidade, equilíbrio, modificações positivas nos componentes da composição corporal 9 , as quais podem impactar de forma positiva na qualidade de vida dos idosos 10 . Todavia, pouco se sabe sobre a diferença entre idosos que praticam outro tipo de exercício físico, além do Pilates, em relação a variáveis físicas, ou sobre o tempo de prática do Pilates na aptidão física de idosos.…”

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.

“…It has been estimated that 80% of all available Pilates studies were conducted between 2010 and 2014 [4]. Pilates follows the key principles of muscle strengthening, especially the lumbar-pelvic region, dynamic stretching, body control, flow of movements, concentration, and breathing [12] and can therefore be classified as MBI [13]. The aspects of all MBIs can be considered integratively with multimodal impact on balance, certain strength aspects, and functional mobility [4,[9][10][11]14].…”

Effects of Movement-Based Mind-Body Interventions on Physical Fitness in Healthy Older Adults: A Meta-Analytical Review

Introduction: Declines in physical fitness can notably affect healthy aging of older adults. Multimodal exercise training regimen such as mind-body interventions (MBIs) has been reported to mitigate these aging-related declines of physical function. This meta-analytical review aimed at pooling the effects of MBIs on physical fitness indices compared to active control (AC) and inactive control (IC) conditions in healthy older adults. Methods: The literature search was conducted in 3 databases using search terms with Boolean conjunctions. Randomized controlled trials applying MBIs focusing on improving physical fitness parameters in healthy seniors over 65 years of age were screened for eligibility. Eligibility and study quality were assessed by 2 researchers using the PEDro scale. Standardized mean differences (SMD) adjusted for small sample sizes (Hedges’ g) served as main outcomes for the comparisons of MBIs versus IC and MBIs versus AC. Results: Thirty trials with 2,792 healthy community dwellers (mean age: 71.2 ± 4.7 years) were included. Large overall effects were found for strength (p < 0.001, SMD: 0.87 [90% CI: 0.43, 1.30], I2 = 94%), medium effects were observed for functional mobility (p = 0.009, SMD: 0.55 [90% CI: 0.20, 0.89], I2 = 83%), and small overall effects were found for static balance (p = 0.02, SMD: 0.35 [90% CI: 0.10, 0.60], I2 = 77%), endurance (p = 0.0001, SMD: 0.44 [90% CI: 0.25, 0.62], I2 = 0%), and flexibility (p = 0.003, SMD: 0.46 [90% CI: 0.21, 0.72], I2 = 54%) in favor of MBIs compared to IC. Small effects of strength slightly favoring AC (p = 0.08, SMD: −0.22 [90% CI: −0.43, −0.01], I2 = 52%) were found, whereas static balance moderately improved in favor of MBIs (p < 0.001, SMD: 0.46 [90% CI: 0.16, 0.76], I2 = 73%). Discussion/Conclusion: MBIs induce small to moderate effects in relevant domains of physical fitness in healthy older adults. Strength should be better targeted with traditional resistance training routines, whereas balance seems to sufficiently benefit from MBIs. However, large variability between the studies was observed due to differences in methodology, intervention content, and outcomes that affect conclusive evidence.

“…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].
