Article Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a single bout pilates exercise on mRNA expression of bone metabolic cytokines in elderly osteopenia women.
Methods: We selected 11 people of elderly osteopenia women and loaded a single bout pilates exercise about RPE 10-14 level. The blood samples were collected before, immediately after and 60 minute after pilates exercise, then examined calcium metabolic markers in serum and extracted peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) from whole blood and confirmed mRNA expression of bone metabolic cytokines from PBMC. To clarify the changes during exercise, we designed repeated measure ANOVA as the control group to perform blood sampling without exercise.
Results: As a result, serum P showed significant interaction effect between group and time (p<.001), the pilates exercise group decreased about 9% at immediately after exercise and 13% during recovery after exercise (p<.05), while the control group showed a tendency to increase. Serum CK also showed a significant interaction between group and time (p<.05), the pilates group significantly increased at immediately after exercise and during recovery after exercise (p<.05) but the control group didn't have changes. TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA expression in PBMC was significantly increased in the pilates group (p<.01, p<.05), although INF-γ mRNA expression didn't show statistically significant difference, it tended to increase in the pilates group (NS).
Conclusion: These results suggested that a single bout pilates exercise of elderly osteopenia women cause hypophosphatemia with temporary muscle damage, and it leading high turnover bone metabolic state with to activate both of bone formation and bone resorption.

Effectiveness of a prenatal pilates program on ligamentous laxity and joint hypermobility in pregnant women: a dual-center randomized controlled trial.

Background: Pregnancy-related anatomical and hormonal changes, including increased relaxin levels, may cause ligamentous laxity and joint hypermobility, while also contributing to decreased overall body mobility, potentially affecting functional stability. Pilates, focusing on core strength and postural control, is recommended during pregnancy, but its effects on ligamentous laxity and joint hypermobility have not been tested in a randomized controlled trial. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a prenatal Pilates program on ligamentous laxity and joint hypermobility in pregnant women.

Background: While exercise is a promising strategy for alleviating perinatal depressive symptoms, its clinical potential remains unrealized due to ambiguity in optimal modalities and dosages, hindering targeted clinical prescription and the design of effective interventions. This study aimed to identify the most effective exercise type and dosage for reducing perinatal depressive symptoms severity.
Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating exercise for perinatal depressive symptoms were identified from four databases (from inception to November 2024).

Background: Obesity, a health problem, is caused by insufficient physical activity and unhealthy nutrition. For individuals with obesity, non-weight-bearing and enjoyable exercises, such as Pilates, should be implemented as physical activity due to potential pain and injury. This study aims to examine the effects of an 8-week Pilates exercise program on body composition, posture, and psychosocial parameters in individuals with and without obesity.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the effects of Pilates combined with breathing exercise on lung function, body posture, and postural stability among female university students.
Methods: A total of 66 females (mean age 19 years) with poor body posture were recruited from a local university and randomly divided into three groups, Pilates combined with breathing exercise group (PRT), Pilates only group (PLT), and control group (CON). Exercise interventions were conducted three times per week, 60 min per session, and lasted 16 weeks (8 weeks of group training + 8 weeks of self-training).
