Abstract

Background

Pilates, a low-to-moderate intensity workout provides an alternative to traditional methods that stimulate both the mind and the body. Adolescent girls often experience sub optimal sleep quality, especially on school days, posing significant health risks. This study aims to investigate the effects of Pilates on the sleep quality of adolescent females.

Methods

A single-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial was conducted at a Physiotherapy OPD. Eligible adolescent girls (aged 10–19) with PSQI scores exceeding 5 were enrolled. Sixty participants were allocated each to Group A (Control) or Group B (Mat Pilates) via convenience sampling. Parental consent and participant assent were obtained. Group A maintained daily activities with ergonomic exercises, while Group B underwent Mat Pilates training three times weekly for eight weeks. Data were collected at baseline, at the end of 4th and 8th week.

Result

Between-group analysis at the 4th and 8th weeks showed significant differences. Post hoc analysis with Bonferroni adjustment revealed notable improvements from baseline to both time points (p < 0.05). The experimental group achieved a 45.14 % greater reduction in Global PSQI score compared to the control group, indicating significant improvements in sleep quality. The experimental group also showed a substantial 53.39 % improvement in sleep duration and a significant 65 % reduction in sleep latency, outperforming the control group.

Conclusion

This study reveals promising improvements in sleep quality, highlighting the potential benefits of Pilates for this demographic. This can be a valuable approach to enhancing sleep quality among adolescent girls, potentially contributing to their overall health and life quality.

垫上普拉提干预对少女睡眠质量的影响：单盲随机对照试验

背景普拉提是一种中低强度的锻炼方式，它提供了一种替代传统锻炼方式的方法，可以刺激身心。青春期少女的睡眠质量往往不尽如人意，尤其是在上学期间，这给她们的健康带来了极大的威胁。本研究旨在调查普拉提对青春期女性睡眠质量的影响。符合条件的青春期少女（10-19 岁）的 PSQI 分数超过 5 分者均被纳入实验对象。通过便利抽样，60 名参与者被分配到 A 组（对照组）或 B 组（垫上爬）。研究获得了家长的同意和参与者的同意。A 组保持日常活动，进行符合人体工学的锻炼，而 B 组则接受 Mat Pilates 训练，每周三次，为期八周。结果第 4 周和第 8 周的组间分析显示两组间存在显著差异。经 Bonferroni 调整的事后分析显示，从基线到这两个时间点的数据均有显著改善（P < 0.05）。与对照组相比，实验组的 PSQI 总分降低了 45.14%，表明睡眠质量有了明显改善。实验组的睡眠时间也有了 53.39% 的大幅改善，睡眠潜伏期显著缩短了 65%，表现优于对照组。这可能是提高青春期少女睡眠质量的一种有价值的方法，可能有助于提高她们的整体健康水平和生活质量。
