The priority of Pilates is to obtain physical and mental health, including flexibility, in a secure and balanced way.
To verify the change in the quality of life of practitioners of the Pilates method.
Descriptive observational study of 74 Pilates practitioners divided into 3 groups: practitioner for up to three months; practitioner for more than 1 year; and ex-practitioners. The quality of life analysis was performed using the self-administered questionnaire, SF-36. The comparison between groups was made by ANOVA one-way, then an analysis by post-hoc Scheffé, with a significance level of p < 0.05.
The group of experienced practitioners showed better results in the dimensions of physical function (mean 86.37 points; p < 0.01), general health (mean 29.48 points; p < 0.001) and mental health (mean 43.59 points; p < 0.02) of quality of life.
Pilates was associated with the improvement of quality of life.

验证普拉提方法练习者生活质量的变化。
对74名普拉提练习者进行描述性观察研究,分为3组:练习时间不超过3个月的练习者;练习时间超过1年的练习者;以及曾经的练习者。使用自填式问卷SF-36进行生活质量分析。组间比较采用单向方差分析,然后进行事后Scheffé分析,显著性水平为p < 0.05。
经验丰富的练习者组在生活质量的身体功能维度(平均86.37分;p < 0. *** )、总体健康维度(平均29.48分;p < 0. *** )和心理健康维度(平均43.59分;p < 0. *** )方面表现出更好的结果。
