“…Newell 2012 showed the Pilates exercise have potential to improve gait and sway parameter [26] in older adults. Therefore, the results of the present study are in agreement with the results of previous studies that PBCS exercises have significant effect on gait [29, [36][37][38][39].…”

Background and Aims: Lack of physical activity, obesity, eating habits contributes to an increase in metabolic disorders. Patients with diabetes have balance, gait, and proprioceptive impairments which hinder the activity of daily living. Therefore, the main objective of present research was to optimize and to find efficacy of the exercise protocols on gait, balance, proprioception and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients suffering from Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Material and Methods: Forty individuals with T2DM age between 35 to 60 were recruited and randomly allocated to four groups with 10 subjects per group. Core strengthening exercises were given with duration of twenty or thirty minutes per session and frequency of twice or thrice weekly for six weeks.Results: Design Expert Software version 10.0.6 was used to analyse data Design Expert software. Further duration and frequency of exercises were compares using ful factorial design. Paired sample t test was used at significance level p<0.05 to find efficacy of core strengthening exercises. The results showed the roe of duration and frequency along with significant effect of exercises on balance, gait, proprioception and HbA1c.Conclusion: Pilates based core strengthening exercises (PBCS) significantly improved all the parameter selected if exercise protocol was given for 30 minutes and thrice weekly for six weeks. Study has also shown impact of duration and frequency of exercises separately on these parameters.

“…Mokhtari in a study of 30 elderly females stated that 12 weeks of mat Pilates exercises developed balance features and reduced the risk of falling in the elderly (Mokhtari et al, 2013). Kalron performed 12 weeks of Pilates exercises with 45 multiple sclerosis patients and found the physical fitness parameters of balance and flexibility had developed at the end of 12 weeks (Kalron et al, 2017). In our study, 2 days per week Pilates exercise developed all parameters apart from shoulder mobility.…”

“…Previous research has dealt with topics like the effects of long-term Pilates exercises on mobility, stabilization and balance parameters, and rehabilitation after low back pain and sporting injuries (Bryan & Hawson, 2003;Phrompaet et al, 2011;Pata et al, 2014;Cruz-Dí az et al, 2015;Kalron et al, 2017;Peterson & Haladay, 2018). Acute studies have compared the FMS scores of different ages and groups with swimming, gymnastics, football and sedentary activity (Bond et al, 2017;Sahin et al, 2017;DORREL et al, 2018).…”

“…Pilates exercises have been revealed in previous studies to develop strength-power, develop balance, develop cardiorespiratory resistance and muscle resistance, increase the width of joint movements and improve body composition (Siler, 2000;Schroeder, 2002;Barker et al, 2015;Kao et al, 2015;Bertoli et al, 2018;Bullo et al, 2018). Pilates exercises are also intensely used for rehabilitation of sporting injuries and treatment of some chronic disorders (Bryan & Hawson, 2003;Kalron et al, 2017). There is a serious reduction in chronic low back pain complaints after Pilates exercises, especially (Cruz-Dí az et al, 2015;Peterson & Haladay, 2018).…”

This research aimed to investigate the variation in FMS scores of women performing Pilates exercises 2 days per week, and women performing 1 day of Pilates and 1 day of step aerobic exercise per week after 8 weeks. The research included 60 sedentary female volunteers aged from 35-50 years (age range: 30.4-54.2 years, mean: 41.2 ± 6.37). Subjects in the research were tested for basic movement patterns, stabilization and mobilization. The study was planned to last 8 weeks, with 2 training sessions per week. At the end of 8 weeks, FMS tests were repeated. Statistical analyses used the SPSS program. P values of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The total score in the group with 2 days Pilates per week increased from 13.08 to 17,85, while the scores for the group with 1 day Pilates and 1 day aerobic exercise rose from 13 from 15 (p<0.05). The control group had pre-test measurement of 13.25 and post-test measurement of 13.19, with no significant change observed (p>0.05). While there was no difference between the groups for preliminary FMS results, there were significant differences between the final FMS results (pre-test p: 0.92, post-test p: 0.015). In conclusion, 2 days of Pilates exercise preserved and developed functional movement, stability and mobility and reduced the risk of injury. Though one day Pilates and one day aerobic exercise improved FMS scores, it did not reduce the risk of injury.

“…That said, regarding studies on the use of Pilates, only three included climacteric women in their samples (17,18) and in one study an analysis of the specific effects of a Pilates intervention was not performed, as it comprised of an analysis on the possible effects on QOL in practitioners of Pilates, aerobics and strength training (17). The study by kalron showed that no significant differences were observed in QOL of women who did Pilates exercise and walking (19). Although there are a few studies on the relationship between the Pilates method and quality of life (12,(20)(21)(22), other studies have focused on other aspects that could contribute to improving QOL in climacteric women (23).…”

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of Pilates exercises on the quality of life of patients on hemodialysis. Methods: For this randomized controlled clinical trial, we enrolled 60 hemodialysis patients referred to Shahid Beheshti and Akhavan hospitals in Kashan city during 2014 and 2015. The subjects were randomly allocated to an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). Demographic information and quality of life short form (KDQOL SF) questionnaires were completed by the two groups at the beginning of the study. Then, modified Pilates exercises were carried out by the experimental group three times a week over a period of eight weeks. The KDQOL SF questionnaire was completed by all participants, at the beginning and two
