“…According to the results of this review, there is strong evidence that Pilates improves the balance of the elderly, both static and dynamic. Hyun et al (2014) 22 and Barker et al (2015) 23 assessed several aspects of balance and found improvements in dynamic and static balance after 12 weeks of Pilates. Roller et al (2017) 24 found the same positive results with a shorter practice period, 10 weeks of Pilates, only once a week.…”

In the article by Bird et al (2012) 25 , a program with 15 sessions of Pilates improved the static and dynamic balance of the participants, but although the balance improved significantly in the Pilates group there was no difference between the Pilates group and the control group.…”

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.

‘It’s like Going to the Regular Class but without Being there’: A Qualitative Analysis of Older people’s Experiences of Exercise in the Home during Covid-19 Lockdown in England

It is expected that the Covid-19 lockdown will have increased physical inactivity with negative impacts for older people, who are at greater risk of health complications from the virus. This paper draws on customer evaluation questionnaire of a Pilates class aimed at people aged over 50 years old, which transitioned from a studio setting to online classes via Zoom at the start of the lockdown in England. The paper aims to (i) evaluate the shift of exercise services to online and (ii) examine how engagement with online services has influenced people’s reaction to Covid-19 and unprecedented confinement to their homes. Our analysis shows that experiences of exercise in the home are dependent on prior exercise engagement, particularly a sense of progress and competency in exercise movements, trust in the instructor and socio-economic privileges that enable participants to love and appreciate their homes. This paper argues that online classes have had positive impact on participants’ ability to cope with lockdown: routine, structure and being seen by others all proved important well-being aspects.

“…Reformer). However, it is difficult to compare the efficacy of these two systems -there appears to be only one study concerning equipment-based Pilates in seniors [30]. The mat Pilates exercises may be easy to accept in the groups of seniors due to their low cost application, availability, and no special requirement required.…”
