About this study
Official title: Effect of Pilates Mat Exercises Training on Functional Performance in Middle Age Obese Women: Randomized Controlled Trial
- Aim of the study: This study will aim to investigate the effects of a 12-week Pilates-mat exercise program on the functional performance in middle age obese women.
Materials and Methods:
sixty obese women patients (ages 45-55 years old) with a body mass index (BMI) 30 -34.9 kg/m2.Women will be randomly assigned into experimental group(Pilates) or control group, (3 times/week, 60 min/session) their age from 45 to 55 yrs. The Pilates exercises were performed on mats. The functional performance on one-leg stance (OLS), five-times-sit-to-stand (STS) and 6-min walk (6 MW) tests was evaluated before and after the 12-week Pilates training or control follow-up period.
Read the detailed description
One of the major public health challenges of the 21st century is obesity. In simple terms, obesity is an excessive increase in fat mass. Since the 1980s, its prevalence has tripled in many countries and the population with weight excess continues to grow at an alarming rate. Obesity impacts on morbidity, disability, activities of daily living and increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. (Ghiotto et.al 2022). In addition, Obesity is associated with a risk of decrease in functional capacity and muscle strength. (Lakhdar et. al 2023).
Pilates exercises consist of stretching and endurance movements performed within the range of joint motions at a regulated pace with concentration and deep breathing. This workout is a novel approach to physical training that involves a combination of strength, stretching, and respiratory and muscular motions. It aims to build muscle, enhance cardiac and respiratory indices, and promote weight loss. In contrast to conventional resistance exercises, in which individual muscle groups are trained, Pilates exercises require the activation and coordination of several muscle groups. (Hushmandi et .al 2023).
