THE EFFECT OF PILATES EXERCISE ON STATIC BALANCE

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pilates exercise on static balance.
Methods: This study included 14 women aged 21-24 years. Pilates exercises were performed to participants 8 weeks a week, 3
days a week. Before and after the study; age, height, weight, BMI and CAT 3000 with double leg eye open, double leg eye
closed, right leg, left leg (Average CoPX, Average CoPY, Forward Backward Standard Deviation, Forward Backward Standard
Speed, Medium Lateral Standard Speed, Perimeter, Ellipse Area) static equilibrium values were taken. Spss 22.0 package
program was used to analyze the data.
Results: As a result of the study, the experimental group and the control group had double leg eye open, double leg eye closed,
right leg, left leg (Average CoPX, Average Coax, Medium Lateral Standard Deviation, No statistically significant difference
was observed between the static equilibrium values of Speed, Perimeter, Ellipse Area.
Conclusion: Pilates exercise has no effect on static balance.
