Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Method: 47 sedentary overweight and obese women aged 30-60 years will be included in the study. Subjects will be divided into two groups: Reformer Pilates and control. The exercise group will be given Reformer Pilates training session 3 times a week over an 8-weeks period. Before and after the study, the subjects will be test for body composition with the bioelectrical impedance and for upper limb strength with the hand grip dynamometer. Moreover, the strength of the back muscle will be measure with the back dynamometer and the strength of the abdominal muscle with the sit-up test. Furthermore, the endurance of trunk, abdominal and back muscles will be measure with the McGill endurance tests. The endurance of the lower limb will be measure with the 30 second sit and stand test, and the balance with the Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale. Finally, the sleep quality will be measure with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the anxiety with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.
