The purpose of this systematic review was to determine how Pilates exercises have impacted body composition (BC) on selected populations.
A comprehensive literature search was performed using the keywords 'Pilates, body composition, systematic review, literature review, overweight, obesity, healthy weight, underweight' and their combination.
Seven studies met the inclusion criteria and after further quality analyses it was determined that there is currently poor empirical quantitative evidence indicating a positive effect of Pilates exercises on BC. Several methodological flaws were observed in the studies analyzed, including few full-text published studies looking into the effects of Pilates exercises on BC, a lack of true experimental research designs, limited standardization in measurement techniques, insufficient or no control of the nutritional status, and inconsistent instructor qualifications.
Well-designed research is needed to determine how Pilates exercises impact BC on selected populations.
本系统评价的目的是确定普拉提运动对特定人群身体成分（BC）的影响。
使用关键词“普拉提、身体成分、系统评价、文献综述、超重、肥胖、健康体重、体重过轻”及其组合进行全面的文献检索。
七项研究符合纳入标准，经过进一步的质量分析后确定，目前缺乏充分的实证定量证据表明普拉提运动对身体成分有积极影响。在所分析的研究中观察到几个方法学缺陷，包括很少有全文发表的研究探讨普拉提运动对身体成分的影响、缺乏真正的实验研究设计、测量技术标准化有限、营养状况控制不足或未控制以及教练资质不一致。
需要进行精心设计的研究，以确定普拉提运动如何影响特定人群的身体成分。
