摘要：

Professionals in theater, athletics, and rehabilitation settings have integrated Pilates-based exercise into their practice. The Pilates method of exercise claims to have several benefits including improving posture and improving balance; however, there are few studies to support these statements. We studied the effects of Pilates-based exercise on dynamic balance in healthy adults. A certified Pilates instructor conducted all exercise sessions. After completing 10 Pilates-based exercise sessions a significant change ( P = .01) in dynamic balance was found in the functional reach test (FRT) mean scores in the exercise group (n = 17). The control group ( n = 17) demonstrated no significant change ( P = .54). The results suggest that Pilates-based exercise improved dynamic balance as measured by the FRT in healthy adults.
