“…There were just three studies where core strength was measured (23,27,28) Regarding the additional analysis results, there were significant improvements in isometric trunk and hip extension and isokinetic hip flexion strength after the 18-week training period in the Pilates and group. These findings are in accordance with other studies (18,33,42). One unexpected finding was that isokinetic hip extensor strength showed no improvement after the Pilates program.…”

Background. The neuromuscular decline impact in old women functional independence is determining the necessity to implement new strategies focused on core strength training and postural stability maintenance to promote healthy ageing. Objectives. To define whether Pilates or resistance training is better at improving a) core isometric and isokinetic muscular strength, and b) static and dynamic balance, in older women. Methods. This was a cluster randomized controlled trial. Physically independent older women (60-80 years) from day centres were randomly allocated to Pilates, Muscular and Control Groups (PG, MG and CG) using block randomization method. Only the research staff performing the assessment and statistical analysis were blinded. Exercise groups trained twice a week (1 hour per session) for 18 weeks in a moderate-to-vigorous intensity. Core strength (primary outcome): trunk and hip isometric and hip isokinetic muscular strength (Biodex System III Pro Isokinetic Dynamometer), alongside one leg static balance (portable force platform Kistler 9286AA) and dynamic balance (Timed Up and Go) were assessed. Results. Sixty participants were randomized (PG, n=20; MG, n=20; CG, n=20) and forty-nine completed the trial (PG, n=16; MG, n=19; CG, n=14). Regarding hip isometric extension strength, PG was statistically better than CG (P = 0.004). There were no differences between groups regarding isokinetic strength or balance. Intra-group comparisons showed significant improvements (P < 0.05) in the dynamic balance and trunk and hip isometric extension strength for PG and MG, whereas every hip isokinetic measurement was improved in MG. Exercise programs did not produce any adverse event. Conclusions. The Pilates training program was more effective for improving isometric hip and trunk extension strength, while the Muscular training program generated greater benefits on trunk and hip isokinetic strength. Moreover, both training programmes showed moderate effects for the Timed Up and Go. The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: NCT02506491).

“…of the five studies 46,47,[49][50][51] that investigated the effects of Pilates on body composition, three 46,49,51 performed their intervention programs with the same duration and weekly frequency (8 weeks, three sessions a week), using Mat Pilates. In the study by Fourie 49 et al there was a decrease in the percentage of fat and increase in the percentage of lean mass.…”

The objective of this review was to analyze the evidence of Pilates in physical fitness related to health in the elderly. The article indexing databases (Pubmed, Medline, Science Direct, Scielo, Lilacs, and Cochrane) were reviewed along with the Pilates, elderly and aging descriptors. A total of 41 studies with a randomized experimental and quasi-experimental design met the inclusion criteria. The selection of the studies was carried out by two researchers and the quality of the articles was assessed using the PEDro scale. Interventions ranged from 4-24 weeks with 1-3 sessions/week, and balance was the most investigated variable. The studies included in this review indicate that Pilates improves health status in the elderly, promoting gains in balance, muscle strength, flexibility, functional autonomy, muscular endurance, body composition and aerobic endurance. Despite these findings, some variables need to be further investigated. Level of Evidence II; Systematic review.

“…Score for methodological quality assessment protocol is presented in Table 1. Regarding the methodological procedures, ten articles (66.7%) conducted a randomized controlled study [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] , while four articles [30][31][32][33] (26.7%) conducted a quasi-experimental study evaluating the data from the same population before and after the intervention. Only one study 34 (6.7%) used a cross over method.…”

“…Moderate evidence was found for improving static and dynamic balance by "best evidence synthesis". Four articles evaluated only static balance 19,20,25,32 , while three evaluate dynamic balance 22,31,33 and eight both conditions 21,23,24,[27][28][29]30,34 . Pilates exercise demonstrated ability to improve static and dynamic balance in almost all studies.…”

The aging is accompanied by a gradual decline in balance and increases risk of falls. Pilates has been used for balance training. e purpose of this research was to systematize studies regarding the effects of Pilates exercise interventions on static and dynamic balance of elderly people. A survey was conducted in three indexed databases: Medline/Pubmed, Scopus and Science Direct, using the descriptors “balance” or “equilibrium” with the term “Pilates”. Fifteen articles were selected and used in this systematic review. Based on the results, we observed that the practice of Pilates with a minimum frequency of two sessions per week for an hour lasting for a period of at least five weeks or three times per week for 12 sessions or more showed improvement on static and dynamic balance of elderly.
