Abstract:
Pilates largely avoids high impact, high power output, and heavy muscular and skeletal loading. The population from which the sample was taken was defined as the female population, aged 24 ± 3.4 years. The total sample of subjects was 40 and divided into 2 subsamples, 20 women who practiced Pilates and 20 control groups without activity. Variables were tested:Body weight;Upper arm circumference; Abdominal circumference; Waist circumference; Upper thigh circumference; Skin fold of upper arm; Leather fold of the back; Leather fold suprailiac; Skin fold of abdomen; Skin fold of thigh. Based on the realized research and results, it can be concluded that the Pilates program has a positive effect on the reduction of subcutaneous adipose tissue and volume, no statistically significant changes were observed in the control group.
