About this study
Pilates exercises have been used to improve core strength, trunk and shoulder strength, lower body strength, agility, dynamic balance, coordination skills, flexibility, and posture in various sports. A previous study demonstrated the beneficial impact of mat Pilates exercises on the functional performance of soccer players. However, more research is needed to understand the effects of Pilates on the FMS and ROM. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate and compare the influence of mat Pilates and reformer Pilates exercises on FMS and ROM in soccer players, addressing this critical research gap.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Reformer pilatesOther
Before starting the exercises, a 5-minute warm-up session was performed. The reformer Pilates exercise program included movements such as the Footwork Series (Toes, Heels, Tendon Stretch, V Position), Supine Arm Series (Pull, Circle, Pull Head Up, Triceps Press), Short Box Series (Round, Flat Back, Twist), Short Box and Arm Series (Chest Fly, The Gift, Rhomboid, Biceps Curl, Rowing, Triceps), Long Box Series (Swan, Pulling Fly), Stomach Massage (Round, Twist), Knee Stretch (Round, Flat Back), Hip Work Series (Double Leg Press, Hamstring Pulls, Leg Circle, Frog), Elephant, and Side Stretch. Participants had two-minute rest intervals after the Supine Arm Series, Short Box, Arm Series, and Knee Stretch movements. Movements were performed with ten repetitions in the first four weeks and 12 repetitions in the following four weeks. The participants underwent six weekly training sessions over eight weeks, comprising three Reformer Pilates sessions and three team training days.
Mat PilatesOther
Before the exercises, a 5-minute warm-up session was performed. The mat Pilates exercise program included movements such as Rol Up, One Leg Circle, Double Leg Straight Lower, One Leg Stretch, Criss Cross, Toe Top, Shoulder Bridge, Seated Tracking, Spine Twist, Up-Down Side Kick, Front-Back Side Kick, Circle Side Kick, Flight, Swan, Rest Position, Swimming, Push Up, Long Stretch, Cat Cow, Mermaid Stretch. The participants had two-minute rest breaks after the toe-top, spine twist, and circle side-kick movements. Movements were performed with ten repetitions in the first four weeks and 12 repetitions in the following four weeks. Movements were performed with ten repetitions in the first four weeks and 12 repetitions in the following four weeks. The participants underwent six weekly training sessions over eight weeks, comprising three Mat Pilates sessions and three team training days.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Functional Movement Screening and range of motion tests
Thirty voluntary participants were randomly assigned to either RP (n=10; mean age = 20.60 ± 1.65), MP (n=10; mean age = 19.40 ± 1.35), or CG (n=10; mean age = 20.10 ± 1.15). The Functional Movement Screening Test Kit was used in this study. It consists of seven movements: Deep Squat, Hurdle Step, In-Line Lunge, Shoulder Mobility, Active Straight Leg Raise, Trunk Stability Push-Up, and Rotary Stability. Each test was scored on a scale ranging from 0 to 3, with the highest possible score being 21 . Based on previous research, participants with a total FMS score lower than 14 were considered to have a higher risk of injury.
Measured: One week
Range of motion tests
Thirty voluntary participants were randomly assigned to either RP (n=10; mean age = 20.60 ± 1.65), MP (n=10; mean age = 19.40 ± 1.35), or CG (n=10; mean age = 20.10 ± 1.15). Joint range of motion measurements were made to evaluate the joint range of motion of the athletes. Tests were conducted: shoulder hyperextension, hip flexion, hip extension, hip abduction, hip internal rotation, hip external rotation, ankle dorsiflexion, and ankle plantar flexion. Joint range of motion measurement was performed with a goniometer.Measurements were recorded in centimeters (cm).
Measured: One week

Primary outcome
Functional Movement Screening and range of motion tests
Time frame: One week
Thirty voluntary participants were randomly assigned to either RP (n=10; mean age = 20.60 ± 1.65), MP (n=10; mean age = 19.40 ± 1.35), or CG (n=10; mean age = 20.10 ± 1.15). The Functional Movement Screening Test Kit was used in this study. It consists of seven movements: Deep Squat, Hurdle Step, In-Line Lunge, Shoulder Mobility, Active Straight Leg Raise, Trunk Stability Push-Up, and Rotary Stability. Each test was scored on a scale ranging from 0 to 3, with the highest possible score being 21 .
