To describe Pilates exercise according to peer-reviewed literature, and compare definitions used in papers with healthy participants and those with low back pain.
A systematic review of literature was conducted. A search for "pilates" within the maximal date ranges of the Cochrane Library, Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, ProQuest: Nursing and Allied Health Source, Proquest: Medical and Health Complete, Scopus, Sport Discus, and Web of Science, was undertaken. To be included, papers needed to describe Pilates exercise, and be published in English within an academic, peer-reviewed journal. There were no restrictions on the methodological design or quality of papers. Content analysis was used to record qualitative definitions of Pilates. Frequencies were calculated for mention of content categories, equipment, and traditional Pilates principles. Frequencies were then compared statistically in papers with healthy participants and those with low back pain.
119 papers fulfilled inclusion criteria. Findings suggest that Pilates is a mind-body exercise that focuses on strength, core stability, flexibility, muscle control, posture and breathing. Exercises can be mat-based or involve use of specialised equipment. Posture was discussed statistically significantly more often in papers with participants with low back pain compared to papers with healthy participants. Traditional Pilates principles of centering, concentration, control, precision, flow, and breathing were discussed on average in 23% of papers. Apart from breathing, these principles were not mentioned in papers with low back pain participants.
There is a general consensus in the literature of the definition of Pilates exercise. A greater emphasis may be placed on posture in people with low back pain, whilst traditional principles, apart from breathing, may be less relevant.
根据同行评议文献描述普拉提运动，并比较在健康参与者和腰痛参与者的论文中使用的定义。
对文献进行系统综述。在 Cochrane 图书馆、Medline、护理与联合健康文献累积索引、物理治疗证据数据库、ProQuest：护理与联合健康资源、Proquest：医学与健康综合、Scopus、Sport Discus 和 Web of Science 的最大日期范围内搜索“普拉提”。要包括在内，论文需要描述普拉提运动，并在学术同行评议期刊上以英文出版。对论文的方法论设计或质量没有限制。使用内容分析法记录普拉提的定性定义。计算了提及内容类别、设备和传统普拉提原则的频率。然后对健康参与者和腰痛参与者的论文进行统计学比较。
符合纳入标准的论文有 119 篇。研究结果表明，普拉提是一种身心锻炼，注重力量、核心稳定性、灵活性、肌肉控制、姿势和呼吸。练习可以在垫子上进行，也可以使用专门的设备进行。与健康参与者的论文相比，腰痛参与者的论文中统计学上更多地讨论了姿势。传统的普拉提原则，包括中心、专注、控制、精确、流畅和呼吸，在 23%的论文中平均讨论。除了呼吸，这些原则在腰痛参与者的论文中没有提到。
文献中对普拉提运动的定义有普遍共识。腰痛患者可能更注重姿势，而传统原则（除呼吸外）可能不那么相关。
