Brief Summary

INTRODUCTION AND AIM: The Pilates exercises were introduced by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s, originally called 'centering'. These exercises work on 6 simple principles with or without special equipment. These principles are; centering, concentration, tenderness, flow and respiration. (Yamato et al., 2016) Functional movement analysis is a screening system developed by physiotherapist Gray Cook. Functional deficits of the person are detected by 7 different movements (Cook, Burton and Hoogenboom 2006a, Cook, Burton and Hoogenboom 2006b). In a single study they compared in the literature that assessed the effect of Pilates exercises on functional movement, this activity was explored on recreational runners (Laws, Williams and Wilson 2017). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 12-week pilates group exercise training on functional movement scores in sedentary women. Secondarily; posture, depression level and quality of life will be evaluated.

MATERIAL-METHODS: This study has been reviewed by Ethics Committee of Non-Interventional Researches of the University of Medipol in Istanbul and its ethical conformity has been approved. (10840098-604.01.01-E.45484). Participants were informed of the voluntary consent form and signed the consent form.

Participants 20 sedentary women were included in the study between 30-50 years of age.

Evaluations

Demographic information (Age, Occupation, Height, Weight) of the persons will be recorded.Functional Movement Analysis; Postural Analysis, Depression level; Health Related Life quality will be recorded.
