Investigation of the Effects of Mat Pilates and Apparatus Pilates on some Physical Fitness Parameters, Posture, Joint Mobility and Functional Movement Analysis in Women
Untersuchung der Effekte von Mattenpilates und Gerätepilates auf einige körperliche Fitnessparameter, Körperhaltung, Gelenkmobilität und funktionelle Bewegungsanalyse bei FrauenAbstract
Objectives The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of mat Pilates and apparatus Pilates on some physical fitness parameters, posture, joint mobility, and functional movement level in adult women.
Materials and Methods A total of 45 female participants were included in the study, and they were divided into 3 groups of 15 people in each group. The groups were determined as mat Pilates, apparatus Pilates, and control groups. While the participants in the mat and the apparatus Pilates groups performed the exercise program for 12 weeks, the participants in the control group did not participate in any regular physical activity program. The physical fitness parameters, posture, joint mobility, and functional movement level of the participants were evaluated before and after the exercise program.
Results At the end of the exercise program, muscle strength, muscular endurance, balance, posture score, joint mobility, and functional movement level increased significantly in both the mat and the apparatus Pilates groups (p<0.05). For the post-test values of the parameters evaluated within the scope of the study, a significant difference was found between the mat and the apparatus Pilates groups in favor of the apparatus Pilates group in terms of back strength, leg strength, and balance (p<0.05).
Conclusion Both mat and apparatus Pilates exercise programs provided an increase in muscle strength, muscular endurance, joint mobility, functional movement level, and positive effects on balance and posture in adult women.
Zusammenfassung
Ziele Die vorliegende Studie wurde durchgeführt, um die Auswirkungen von Matten- und Geräte-Pilates auf einige körperliche Fitnessparameter, Körperhaltung, Gelenkmobilität und funktionelles Bewegungsniveau bei erwachsenen Frauen zu untersuchen.
Methodik Insgesamt wurden 45 weibliche Teilnehmer in die Studie einbezogen und in drei Gruppen mit jeweils 15 Personen aufgeteilt. Die Gruppen wurden als Mattenpilates, Gerätepilates und Kontrollgruppe bestimmt. Während die Teilnehmer der Matten- und Geräte-Pilates-Gruppe das Trainingsprogramm 12 Wochen lang durchführten, nahmen die Teilnehmer der Kontrollgruppe an keinem regulären körperlichen Aktivitätsprogramm teil. Vor und nach dem Trainingsprogramm wurden die körperlichen Fitnessparameter, die Körperhaltung, die Beweglichkeit der Gelenke und das funktionelle Bewegungsniveau der Teilnehmer bewertet.
Ergebnisse Am Ende des Trainingsprogramms stiegen Muskelkraft, Muskelausdauer, Gleichgewicht, Haltungsbewertung, Gelenkbeweglichkeit und funktionelles Bewegungsniveau sowohl in der Matten- als auch in der Geräte-Pilates-Gruppe signifikant an (p<0.05). Bei den Post-Test-Werten der im Rahmen der Studie ausgewerteten Parameter zeigte sich der signifikante Unterschied zwischen der Matten- und der Geräte-Pilates-Gruppe zugunsten der Geräte-Pilates-Gruppe hinsichtlich Rückenkraft, Beinkraft und Gleichgewicht (p<0.05).
Schlussfolgerung Übungsprogramm für Mattenpilates und Übungsprogramm für Gerätepilates boten eine Steigerung der Muskelkraft, der Muskelausdauer, der Gelenkmobilität, der Ebene der funktionellen Bewegung und positive Auswirkungen auf das Gleichgewicht und die Körperhaltung bei erwachsenen Frauen.
