Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial 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.

Application Pilates exercises will be applied by a qualified physiotherapist with an internationally recognized certificate on the subject. Participants will be asked to come up with suitable outfits. the exercise room will be set at the ideal temperature and well ventilated. The exercises to be done in the form of group exercises will be started with an entry level, and the level of the exercises will be increased appropriately in the following weeks. Each group will consist of no more than 10 people and the exercises will continue for three sessions per week for 12 weeks. The evaluations will be repeated before exercise, at the end of 12 weeks of exercise and after 3 months from finish of the exercise period.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
