Abstract

Abstract Study aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a Pilates-based training program on functional mobility and strength in community-dwelling adults over 70 years old. Material and methods: Twenty community-dwelling elderly subjects were recruited and randomly assigned to control (C = 10) or Pilates training (PT = 10) groups for 8 weeks (2 times/week). Anthropometric, strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, functional mobility, and static and dynamic balance parameters were assessed before and after the intervention. Results: The PT group had higher values of lower limb strength (p = 0.013 d = 0.56) and 6-minute walking test distance (p = 0.04; d = 0.45) than the C group. The PT group also had differences in one leg stance duration and decrease in the Timed Up and Go test. We also observed a positive correlation between muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness (p < 0.01, r = 0.62), cardiorespiratory fitness and one leg stance, eyes closed, right and left leg (p = 0.04, r = 0.45; p = 0.05, r = 0.45, respectively). Conclusions: Eight weeks of Pilates-based physical training induced improvements in skeletal muscle strength and functional mobility of community-dwelling septuagenarians.

以普拉提为基础的8周体能训练计划对功能活动能力的影响:来自70多岁人群的数据

摘要研究目的:本研究旨在评估以普拉提为基础的训练计划对社区居住的70岁以上成年人的功能流动性和力量的影响。材料和方法:招募20名居住在社区的老年人，随机分为对照组(C = 10)和普拉提训练组(PT = 10)，为期8周(2次/周)。在干预前后评估人体测量、力量、心肺适能、功能活动能力、静态和动态平衡参数。结果:PT组下肢力量(p = 0.013 d = 0.56)、6分钟步行测试距离(p = 0.04;d = 0.45)。PT组在单腿站立时间和Timed Up and Go测试中也有差异。肌肉力量与心肺健康呈正相关(p < 0.01, r = 0.62)，心肺健康与单腿站立、闭眼、右腿和左腿呈正相关(p = 0.04, r = 0.45;P = 0.05, r = 0.45)。结论:以普拉提为基础的八周体能训练可改善社区居住的七十岁老人的骨骼肌力量和功能活动能力。

期刊介绍： The leading idea is the health-directed quality of life. The journal thus covers many biomedical areas related to physical activity, e.g. physiology, biochemistry, biomechanics, anthropology, medical issues associated with physical activities, physical and motor development, psychological and sociological issues associated with physical activities, rehabilitation, health-related sport issues and fitness, etc.
