Profesor especializado en danza / La formulación de este trabajo está orientada hacia los estudiantes de la Etapa Básica y el Primer año Superior de la carrera de Licenciatura en Artes con mención en Danza de la Facultad de Artes de la Universidad de Chile y se contextualiza primeramente en una breve descripción de los aspectos necesarios para entender el tema en cuestión, referente a la anatomía de la postura humana y sus desequilibrios. Éstos se fundamentan en los estudios de anatomía y fisiología del cuerpo humano y enfatizan en las estructuras óseas y musculares en donde se localiza el problema postural de la hiperlordosis lumbar, como son la columna vertebral y la pelvis. De igual manera, define los componentes del centro de energía y la forma de trabajarlo en Pilates, paralelo a un enfoque específico de la danza Contemporánea referente al sistema de trabajo Laban-Bartenieff, el cual no es aplicado directamente en todas las asignaturas de la Licenciatura, sin embargo muchas utilizan conceptos y conexiones aplicadas a la postura y el movimiento. En conjunto con las entrevistas y observaciones y de acuerdo a las competencias requeridas en los primeros años de estudio de la carrera de Danza versus las condiciones y habilidades de cada estudiante con respecto a su condición de hiperlordosis lumbar, se realizó una propuesta de ejercicios a modo de programa. Éste se origina en la aplicación del trabajo de Suelo del Método Pilates Clásico o Auténtico, el cual incluye rutinas específicas que les permitirán a los estudiantes localizar el centro de energía para entregar soporte desde él a todo el resto del cuerpo, mejorando su conciencia corporal y optimizando su alineación postural, por tanto, la eficiencia energética y la mecánica corporal.

Introdução: a influência das desordens temporomandibulares (DTM) relacionadas às alterações posturais ainda não são consenso, mas acredita-se que os desequilíbrios de um sistema podem influenciar o outro. Várias técnicas vêm sendo utilizadas para tratar as DTMs e seus problemas associados, no entanto há uma escassez na literatura de estudos que avaliem os efeitos de tratamentos globais, como o Pilates, em indivíduos com DTM. Objetivo: o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar os efeitos do método Pilates no nível de dor orofacial, na limitação funcional, na atividade eletromiográfica dos músculos mastigatórios e na postura da cabeça, coluna cervical e cintura escapular de mulheres jovens submetidas a um treinamento de Pilates. Métodos: foi realizado um ensaio clínico randomizado com avaliadores cegos. Esse estudo foi registrado no clinicalTrials sob o ID: NCT 02292355 de 6 de novembro de 2014. Foram avaliadas 40 mulheres divididas de forma aleatória em dois grupos, grupo controle (GC), que recebeu o tratamento convencional com placas estabilizadoras e grupo intervenção (GI), que além do tratamento convencional foi submetido a sessões de Pilates. Ambos os grupos foram formados por mulheres de 18 a 35 anos com DTM e dor. O tempo de seguimento da intervenção foi de 15 semanas. No inicio e no final das 15 semanas todos os indivíduos foram avaliados para a verificação da presença de DTM, por meio do critério diagnóstico RDC/TMD. Foi realizada também nestes dois momentos a avaliação da limitação funcional, por meio do instrumento MIFQ, a verificação da presença de dor, avaliada com a EVA, assim como a avaliação eletromiográfica dos músculos mastigatórios e também da postura corporal, essa por meio da fotogrametria. Resultados: Houve um efeito significativo do tempo sobre os níveis de dor, F=(1,37)=15,496; p<0,001; η2=0,295. Foi observada uma melhora da dor de 38,47% no grupo intervenção. A limitação funcional diminuiu significativamente no grupo intervenção (z = -2,873; p = 0,001; r = -0,64). Não houve alteração na classificação da desordem avaliada por meio do RDC/TMD. Não houve efeito ao longo do tempo na maioria das variáveis posturais e eletromiográficas. Somente simetria dos olhos na face, obliquidade das clavículas, nível de ativação do masseter esquerdo durante o período inativo da mastigação e coeficiente anteroposterior apresentaram efeito significativo do tempo. A diferença apresentada nessas variáveis ocorreu nos dois grupos, indicando que o tempo afetou da mesma forma cada um dos grupos. Conclusão: Os resultados do presente ensaio clínico nos permitem recomendar o uso do Método Pilates como mais um recurso terapêutico conservador, o qual reduziu a dor na região da face em mulheres com DTM, além de melhorar a limitação funcional. / Introduction: The influence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) related to postural changes is not yet a consensus, but it is believed that imbalances in one system can influence the other. Several techniques have been used to treat TMDs and their associated problems, however there is a shortage in the literature of studies that evaluate the effects of global treatments such as Pilates in individuals with TMD. The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in pain level, TMD severity, EMG activity of masticatory muscles and posture of young women submitted to Pilates training. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted with blind evaluators. This study was registered in the clinicalTrials under the ID: NCT 02292355 of November 6, 2014. We evaluated 40 women randomly divided into two groups, the control group (CG), who received conventional treatment with stabilizing plates, and the intervention group (IG), which in addition to the conventional treatment was submitted to Pilates sessions. Both groups were formed by women aged 18 to 35 years with TMD and pain. The follow-up time of the intervention was 15 weeks. At the beginning and at the end of the 15 weeks all subjects were assessed for presence of TMD, TMD severity, presence of pain, EMG assessment of masticatory muscles and body posture. Results: There was a significant effect of time on pain levels, F = (1.37) = 15.496; p <0.001; η2 = 0.295. An improvement of pain of 38.47% was observed in the intervention group. The functional limitation decreased significantly in the intervention group (z = -2.873, p = 0.001, r = -0.64). There was no change in the classification of the disorder assessed by RDC / TMD. There was no effect over time in most of the postural and eletroniographic variables. Only eyes symmetry on the face, obliquity of the clavicles, level of activation of the left masseter during the inactive chewing period and anteroposterior coefficient showed a significant effect of time. The difference presented in these variables occurred in both groups, indicating that time affected each group in the same way. Conclusion: The results of the present clinical trial allow us to recommend the use of the Pilates Method as a more conservative therapeutic resource, which reduced pain in the face region in women with TMD, in addition to improving functional limitation.

These changes may significantly affect the health of the elderly. The Pilates exercises may eventually contribute to the improvement of these characteristics, but despite the growing number of professionals who use the Pilates principles studies are needed to investigate the effectiveness of the technique and its clinical application. Purpose: To verify the effects of a Pilates program on bone mass and body composition in elderly, sedentary. Method: Blind controlled clinical trial which included a sample of 24 sedentary elderly women living in the city of Lages / SC, divided into two groups: GP (Pilates Group) and CG (Control Group). The GP held a Pilates exercise program (mat and equipment) 2 times a week for 6 months. Bone densitometry (DXA) was used to assess bone mineral density (BMD) of the participants before and after the intervention. This research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS) and registered in the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (Rebec). For the statistical analysis SPSS 20.0 for Windows 8 was used. For the analysis of normality Shapiro-Wilk was used; fot infer the T-Student test was used for normal distribution, and the Mann-Whitney U test for asymmetrical distribution, with significance level set at 5% (p<0.05). Results: 20 elderly women were reevaluated, 9 (63.7 ? 3.3 years old) from the GP and 11 (65.2 ? 3.0 year olds) from the GC. After the intervention there was no significant difference in lumbar BMD (p = 0.14), femoral neck (p = 0.57) and total hip (p = 0.52) between groups. There was a correlation (r = 0.87) proportional between the body mass index (BMI) and BMD. A significant decrease was found (p = 0.03) in the abdominal circumference of the GP. Although not statistically significant, there was improvement in aspects related to the percentage of body fat and lean tissue in GP. Conclusion: A Pilates exercise program held twice a week for six months showed no significant changes in BMD of the investigated elderly. / Introdu??o: Com o envelhecimento ocorrem altera??es no tecido ?sseo, tanto na maior velocidade de reabsor??o como de forma??o ?ssea, diminui??o da deforma??o pl?stica e ac?mulo de micro danos, deixando o osso mais propenso ?s fraturas. Estas modifica??es podem acarretar importantes implica??es para a sa?de dos idosos. Os exerc?cios do m?todo Pilates podem contribuir eventualmente na melhora dessas caracter?sticas, mas apesar do n?mero crescente de profissionais que aplicam os princ?pios do Pilates s?o necess?rios estudos que investiguem a efic?cia da t?cnica e sua aplicabilidade cl?nica. Objetivos: Verificar os efeitos de um programa de Pilates na massa ?ssea e composi??o corporal de idosas sedent?rias. M?todo: Ensaio cl?nico controlado e cego que contou com uma amostra de 24 idosas sedent?rias residentes na cidade de Lages/SC, distribu?das em dois grupos: GP (Grupo Pilates) e GC (Grupo Controle). O GP realizou um programa de exerc?cios de Pilates (solo e aparelhos) 2 vezes por semana durante 6 meses. Foi utilizado densitometria ?ssea (DXA) para avaliar a densidade mineral ?ssea (DMO) das participantes antes e ap?s a interven??o. Esta pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comit? de ?tica em Pesquisa (CEP) da Pontif?cia Universidade Cat?lica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS) e inscrita no Registro Brasileiro de Ensaios Cl?nicos (ReBEC). Para o tratamento estat?stico foi utilizado o programa SPSS 20.0 para Windows 8. Para a an?lise da normalidade foi utilizado Shapiro-Wilk; para infer?ncia foi utilizado o teste T-Student para distribui??o normal e o teste U de Mann-Whitney para distribui??o assim?trica, com n?vel de signific?ncia fixado em 5% (p<0,05). Resultados: Foram reavaliadas 20 idosas, sendo 9 (63,7?3,3 anos) do GP e 11 (65,2?3,0 anos) do GC. Ap?s a interven??o n?o houve diferen?a significativa na DMO lombar (p=0,14), colo femoral (p=0,57) e f?mur total (p=0,52) entre os grupos. Houve uma correla??o (r=0,87) entre ?ndice de massa corporal (IMC) e DMO. Foi encontrada uma diminui??o significativa na circunfer?ncia abdominal do GP (p=0,035). Apesar de n?o ser estatisticamente significativa, houve melhora nos aspectos relacionados ? porcentagem de gordura corporal e tecido magro no GP. Conclus?o: Um programa de exerc?cios de Pilates realizado duas vezes por semana durante seis meses n?o mostrou altera??es significativas na DMO das idosas investigadas.

Genetic predisposition, poor diet and physical inactivity are among the major cardiovascular risk factors that may contribute to its appearance due to disturbances that these factors cause the cellular redox system. The literature is ample evidence that both the intake of functional foods such as sinensis Cammelia (ECS) as the exercise Pilates can assist in health promotion and have a protective effect against oxidative processes, playing an important role in reducing the risk of MS. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of training with Pilates and supplementation with the extract Cammelia sinensis (ECS) in the modulation of biochemical markers, oxidative, antioxidant capacity and body composition after voluntary menopausal patients with diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome. Methods: We conducted a randomized clinical trial, placebo controlled, double-blind, post-menopausal volunteers from the community of Porto Alegre, carrying diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome. Were randomized 60 volunteers and divided into 04 arms: Group 1) Pilates + ECS (15 volunteers); group 2) Pilates + Placebo (15 volunteers); group 3) ECS (15 volunteers) and group 4) Placebo (15 volunteers). Intervention groups ECS and ECS + Pilates consumed a capsule with 500mg excipient ECS per day, which could be ingested one hour after the main meal, for 24 consecutive weeks. The placebo group also consumed a placebo capsule with excipient for 24 consecutive weeks. The training with Pilates was performed for 24 weeks for 60 minutes, performed twice a week. The variables were: sociodemographic, body composition and markers of oxidative metabolism (AOPP, FRAP, NOx, IMA). Statistical applied was: to compare averages, analysis of variance (ANOVA) one way, Tukey test were applied. In the case of asymmetry, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used. To adjust for differences in relation to the baseline measurement, the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) complemented by the Bonferroni test were applied. The significance level was 5% (p <0.05). Results: The mean age of the sample was 61.3 ? 6.6 years (range 51-77 years). The mean age did not differ between groups (p = 0.462)., being respectively: Pilates + ECS group (60.5 ? 6.2), Pilates + Placebo group (62.6 ? 6.7), ECS group (59.1 ? 4, 7) and placebo group (62.9 ? 8.0). It was found that the circumference of Pilates + Green Tea groups waist was significantly lower than that of Green Tea and Placebo groups after intervention (p <0.001). Triglyceride levels of Pilates groups + Green Tea and Pilates + Placebo were significantly lower than the placebo group (p = 0.010). Glucose levels (p = 0.041), BMI (p = 0.008) and fat mass + Green Tea Pilates group was significantly lower than in the placebo group (p = 0.013). The means of lean mass in kg of Pilates and Pilates + Green Tea + placebo groups were significantly higher than the group Green Tea and Placebo (<0.001). As the percentage of lean mass from the + Green Tea Pilates group was significantly higher than the groups Green Tea and Placebo, and the percentage of lean mass Pilates + Placebo group was significantly higher only compared to placebo (p = <0.001). Regarding body fat percentage, a + Green Tea Pilates group was significantly lower than the groups Green Tea and Placebo, and the body fat percentage Pilates + Placebo group was significantly lower than the placebo (p = 0.001). There were no statistically significant differences in post-intervention in relation to the redox metabolism markers (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The results suggest that the Pilates method of exercise with and without supplementation with ECS are effective for reducing the means of the waist circumference, triglycerides and glucose, as well as the variables of body composition in postmenopausal women. / Introdu??o: S?ndrome Metab?lica (SM) ? um transtorno complexo e de grande import?ncia epidemiol?gica, pois ? respons?vel pelo aumento da mortalidade cardiovascular, todavia, pouco se conhece a respeito de sua etiologia. A predisposi??o gen?tica, a alimenta??o inadequada e o sedentarismo est?o entre os principais fatores de risco cardiovasculares que podem contribuir para o seu desencadeamento, devido a dist?rbios que esses fatores causam ao sistema REDOX celular. Existem na literatura amplas evid?ncias de que tanto a ingest?o de alimentos funcionais como a Cammelia sinensis (ECS) como o exerc?cio Pilates podem auxiliar na promo??o da sa?de e ter um efeito protetor contra os processos oxidativos, desempenhando um importante papel na redu??o do risco de SM. Objetivos: Avaliar a efic?cia do treinamento com Pilates e da suplementa??o com o extrato de Cammelia sinensis (ECS) na modula??o de marcadores bioqu?micos, oxidativos, capacidade antioxidante e na composi??o corporal de volunt?rias p?s menopa?sicas portadores de crit?rios diagn?sticos para S?ndrome Metab?lica. Metodologia: Foi conduzido ensaio cl?nico randomizado, placebo controlado e duplo cego, com volunt?rias p?s-menop?usicas da comunidade de Porto Alegre, portadoras de crit?rios diagn?sticos para S?ndrome Metab?lica. Foram randomizadas 60 volunt?rias e divididas em 04 bra?os: grupo 1) Pilates + ECS (15 volunt?rias); grupo 2) Pilates + Placebo (15 volunt?rias); grupo 3) ECS (15 volunt?rias) e grupo 4) Placebo (15 volunt?rias). Os grupos interven??o com ECS e ECS + Pilates consumiram uma c?psula com excipiente 500mg de ECS ao dia, que poderia ser ingerida uma hora ap?s a refei??o mais importante, durante 24 semanas consecutivas. O grupo placebo tamb?m consumiu uma c?psula com excipiente de placebo por 24 semanas consecutivas. O treinamento com o m?todo Pilates foi realizado durante 24 semanas, por 60 minutos, realizado duas vezes por semana. As vari?veis analisadas foram: sociodemogr?ficas, de composi??o corporal e marcadores do metabolismo oxidativo (AOPP, FRAP, NOx, IMA). A estat?stica aplicada foi: para comparar m?dias, a An?lise de Vari?ncia (ANOVA) one-way complementada pelo teste de Tukey foram aplicadas. Em caso de assimetria, o teste de Kruskal-Wallis foi utilizado. Para ajustar as diferen?as em rela??o ? medida basal, a An?lise de Covari?ncia (ANCOVA) complementada pelo teste de Bonferroni foram aplicados. O n?vel de signific?ncia adotado foi de 5% (p<0,05). Resultados: A m?dia de idade da amostra foi de 61,3?6,6 anos (intervalo de 51 a 77 anos). A m?dia de idade n?o diferiu entre os grupos (p= 0,462) , sendo respectivamente: grupo Pilates + ECS (60,5?6,2), grupo Pilates + Placebo (62,6?6,7), grupo ECS (59,1?4,7) e grupo Placebo (62,9?8,0). Foi verificado que a circunfer?ncia da cintura do grupo Pilates + Ch? Verde foi significativamente mais baixa do que a dos grupos Ch? verde e Placebo ap?s a interven??o (p<0,001). Os n?veis de triglicer?deos dos grupos Pilates + Ch? Verde e Pilates + Placebo foram significativamente mais baixos do que os do grupo Placebo (p=0,010). Os n?veis de glicemia (p=0,041), IMC (p=0,008) e massa gorda do grupo Pilates + Ch? Verde foi significativamente mais baixo do que os do grupo Placebo (p=0,013). As m?dias da massa magra, em kg, dos grupos Pilates + Ch? Verde e Pilates + Placebo foram significativamente mais elevadas do que as dos grupos Ch? Verde e Placebo (<0,001). Assim como o percentual de massa magra do grupo Pilates + Ch? Verde foi significativamente maior do que o dos grupos Ch? Verde e Placebo, sendo que o percentual de massa magra do grupo Pilates + Placebo foi significativamente mais elevado somente em rela??o ao Placebo (p=<0,001). Em rela??o ao percentual de massa gorda, o grupo Pilates + Ch? Verde foi significativamente menor do que o dos grupos Ch? Verde e Placebo, sendo que o percentual de massa gorda do grupo Pilates + Placebo foi significativamente mais baixo do que o Placebo (p=0,001). N?o foram observadas diferen?as estatisticamente significativas no p?s-interven??o em rela??o aos marcadores do metabolismo redox (p>0,05). Conclus?o: Os resultados sugerem que os exerc?cios do m?todo Pilates com e sem suplementa??o com ECS s?o eficazes para a redu??o das m?dias das vari?veis circunfer?ncia da cintura, triglicer?deos e glicemia, bem como nas vari?veis da composi??o corporal em mulheres p?s-menopausa.

However, there are no reports in the literature regarding the energy cost of exercise based on the method, especially when compare mat or equipment use. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the energy cost, HR and BP in Pilates sessions in the mat and on the equipment. For this, were selected 18 volunteers to perform both Pilates sessions (mat and equipment), in different days. The variables analyzed were VO2 through indirect calorimetry, and subsequent calculation of the energy cost in METs and Kcal/min-1, blood lactate, HR and BP. ANOVA for repeated measures (Split-Plot) with post hoc Bonferroni analysis was used to compare the differences between the conditions and the level of significance was set at p <0.05. The results in the present study on mat condition can be classified as very light exercise with energy cost values of 1.9 ?? 0.2 METs and in the equipment condition with values of 2.6 ?? 0.3 METs. Likewise, have found a value of 1.9 Kcal/min-1 on the mat session, and 2.6 Kcal/min-1 on the equipment session. The VO2 remained elevated after exercise for both sessions, with significant values only for the mat (pre 3.1 ?? 0.8, post 4.3 ?? 0.7). The blood lactate concentration showed no significant increase after the end of the solo sessions and apparatus. HR analysis in this study confirmed the low intensity of Pilates sessions, average HR solo session remained at 53% of maximum heart rate, and the device session 49%. Systolic and diastolic BP did not present higher values in relation to the rest. It is suggested that a training program using this protocol with exercises based on the Pilates method is a choice for the initial stage of intervention in sedentary individuals, the elderly or those with cardiovascular disease. / Os exerc??cios de Pilates t??m ganhado espa??o como uma modalidade de exerc??cio n??o s?? na reabilita????o, mas tamb??m para melhora da sa??de geral. No entanto, n??o h?? relatos na literatura quanto ao custo energ??tico dos exerc??cios baseados no m??todo, em especial quando se utiliza solo ou aparelho. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar e comparar o custo energ??tico, a FC e a PA nas sess??es de Pilates no solo e no aparelho em mulheres saud??veis. Para isso, foram selecionadas 18 volunt??rias que realizaram duas sess??es de Pilates (solo e aparelho), em dias distintos. As vari??veis analisadas foram VO2, por meio da calorimetria indireta, e posterior c??lculo do custo energ??tico em METs e Kcal/min-1, lactato sangu??neo, FC e PA. ANOVA para medidas repetidas (Split-Plot) com an??lise post hoc e Bonferroni foi utilizado para comparar as diferen??as entre as condi????es, e o n??vel de signific??ncia adotado foi p <0,05. A sess??o realizada no presente estudo na condi????o solo pode ser classificada como exerc??cio de intensidade muito leve com valores de custo energ??tico de 1,9 ?? 0,2 METs e a condi????o aparelho como leve, com valores de 2,6 ?? 0,3 METs. Da mesma forma, foi encontrado um valor de custo de energia de 1,9 Kcal/min-1 na sess??o solo e 2,6 Kcal/min-1 na sess??o aparelho. Foi observado que o VO2 permaneceu elevado ap??s o exerc??cio para ambas as sess??es, com valores significativos apenas para o solo (pr?? 3,1 ?? 0,8; p??s 4,3 ?? 0,7). A concentra????o sangu??nea de lactato n??o apresentou aumento significativo ap??s o t??rmino das sess??es solo e aparelho. A an??lise da FC neste estudo reafirmou a baixa intensidade das sess??es de Pilates, a FC m??dia da sess??o solo permaneceu em 53% da FCm??x, e a sess??o aparelho a 49% A PA sist??lica e diast??lica n??o apresentaram maiores valores em rela????o ao repouso. Sugere-se que um programa de treinamento utilizando este protocolo com os exerc??cios baseados no m??todo Pilates seja uma escolha para o est??gio inicial de interven????o em indiv??duos sedent??rios, idosos ou aqueles que apresentam doen??as cardiovasculares.

Orientador: Franciele Marques Vanderlei / Banca: Diego Giulliano Destro Christófaro / Banca: Ana Clara Campagnolo Gonçalves Toledo / Resumo: The objective of the present dissertation was to verify the effect of the training of the Pilates method on the autonomic modulation of heart rate, besides presenting a systematic review with meta-analysis on the effectiveness of the Pilates method in body composition. Methods: The clinical trial consisted of 47 healthy men aged 18 to 35 years were analyzed. Participants were divided into two groups: Pilates group (GP) and control group (CG). The GP performed 36 sessions of the Pilates method for approximately 60 minutes each session and often three times a week. For the Systematic Review, the studies were selected using seven databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, SportDiscus, PEDro, SciELO, CINAHAL and The Cochrane Library), from the oldest record of each database until the 28th of March of 2018. Results: In the clinical trial, there was an interaction of moments versus groups for the GP in the SDNN indices (p = 0.021), LF [ms2] (p = 0.016) and SD2 (p = 0.011) in addition, there was a statistically significant (p <0.05) increase in GP delta values when compared to CG for the overall HRV indices. Twelve eligible studies were chosen for the systematic review. The main findings of this review were that, when analyzed without distinction of population, the Pilates method was more effective than the conditions of comparison only for abdominal circumference (seven studies, n = 295; SMD = 0.24, 95% CI, 01, 0.48], p = 0.04, I 2 = 0%,).

Physical changes such as impairment flexibility, balance, muscle strength and reaction time occur with aging. Regular lifetime physical activity appears to delay these factors. The purpose of this study was to determine if 12 weeks Pilates exercise could improve dynamic balance, reaction time, flexibility, muscle strength, bone density and quality of life in 65+ years old women and to investigate the changes of these parameters in a year follow up. Thirty out of a hundred women living in a Residential House in Ankara were enrolled in the study. Participants attended a 12-week series of one-hour Pilates exercise meeting three times per week. Dynamic balance, flexibility, reaction time, number of falls, muscle strength, bone mineral density, quality of life and anxiety were measured before and after exercise. Results showed that flexibility, balance, simple and choice reaction time, muscle strength, number of falls, quality of life and beck anxiety scores significantly improved in the exercise group. In addition, after a year of follow up, there were prominent decreases in simple reaction time and muscle strength, choice reaction time, number of falls and bone mineral density in control group while there were no evident changes in exercise group. Furthermore, there were significant relationships of balance with muscle strength, choice reaction time and anxiety.As the result of this study, it can be concluded that Pilates exercise can be efficient for preventing falls, increasing muscle strength and dynamic balance, flexibility, reaction time and decreasing anxiety while increasing quality of life. In the long term, Pilates exercise may have very positive effects on bone mineral density.
