The objective of this study was to explore the effects of 8-weeks modern pilates mat and ball exercise program on body mass, waist circumference and waist to hip ratio on sedentary obese women total of 58 health sedentary obese women volunteered to participate in this study. They were divided randomly into 1 of 2 groups: pilates training group (PTG; N = 34) and control group (CG; N = 27). A pilates training program was applied to the subjects one hour per day four days per week during 8 weeks. The subjects in the control group did not participate in the training and participated only in the pre and post test measurements. BMI, waist circumference, Waist-hip ratio, 4-site skinfold thickness (Biceps, Triceps, Supscapula and Iliac), fat percentage, resting metabolic rate, Lean body mass and flexibility were assessed before and after the pilates training program. The SPSS statistical program (version 16.0) was used for data analysis. Analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs) were run on each of the dependent variables. For all analyses, the criterion for significance was set at an alpha level of p < 0.05. 8 weeks of pilates training program has been found to be effective on weight, Body mass index, Lean body mass, waist-hip ratio, biceps, triceps, fat percentage, basal metabolic rate, and flexibility in PTG (p < 0.05). The control group showed no significant differences in the same measures post-intervention. As a result there was a positive effect of Modern Pilates mat and ball exercises of reducing obesity, body composition parameters and flexibility at sedentary obese women.
本研究的目的是探讨为期8周的现代普拉提垫上和球操训练计划对久坐不动的肥胖女性体重、腰围和腰臀比的影响。共有58名健康的久坐不动肥胖女性自愿参与本研究。她们被随机分为两组：普拉提训练组（PTG；N = 34）和对照组（CG；N = 27）。在8周内，对受试者实施每天1小时、每周4天的普拉提训练计划。对照组的受试者不参加训练，只参与前后测试测量。在普拉提训练计划前后评估体重指数、腰围、腰臀比、4个部位的皮褶厚度（肱二头肌、肱三头肌、肩胛下和髂嵴）、脂肪百分比、静息代谢率、去脂体重和柔韧性。使用SPSS统计程序（版本16.0）进行数据分析。对每个因变量进行协方差分析（ANCOVA）。对于所有分析，显著性标准设定为α水平p < 0.05。已发现为期8周的普拉提训练计划对普拉提训练组的体重、体重指数、去脂体重、腰臀比、肱二头肌、肱三头肌、脂肪百分比、基础代谢率和柔韧性有显著效果（p < 0.05）。对照组在干预后相同测量指标上无显著差异。结果表明，现代普拉提垫上和球操练习对久坐不动的肥胖女性的肥胖程度、身体成分参数和柔韧性有积极影响。
