About this study
Official title: Does Reformer Pilates Exercise Improve Cognitive Functions in Sedentary Women? A Randomized Controlled Study.
The reformer is an apparatus on which to perform the foot work and the body in a comfortable, non weight-bearing supine position and keeps the muscles in balance. Studies on Pilates generally include individuals with chronic diseases, geriatric and obese individuals also active women.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of reformer Pilates exercises on cognitive functions in sedentary women
Read the detailed description
A total of 44 sedentary women aged between 24-50 will be randomized into two groups. The reformer Pilates group will receivea 6-week exercise program (45 minutes/twice per week) , while the participants in the control group will be selected from those on the exercise list who will start exercise after the study finishes, but are on a waiting exercise program list. Outcomes measured before and after the interventions are, right/left discrimination and scores of two questionnaires: Stroop Test and The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.
