This study was done to identify the effect of pilates exercises on the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
A quasi experimental was conducted on university student with premenstrual syndrome.
Population of the study included midwifery students with premenstrual syndrome at Istanbul University Faculty of Health Sciences (N = 286) and 50 of them became the sample (25 in experimental group and 25 in control group). Non-probablistic sampling method was used. While the students in experimental group were asked to practice the pilates exercises for three months, the students in control group were told to maintain their routine habits. At the end of the three months, premenstrual syndrome problem of experimental and control group was diagnosed and the effect of pilates on premenstrual syndrome was evaluated. Premenstrual Syndrome symptoms were evaluated through Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS). The high score received from PMSS shows that the symptoms are intensive.
It was seen that the students in the experimental and control group were similar in terms of their aspects which were individual, health and could affect premenstrual syndrome (p > 005). A statistical significant difference was not found between total scores and sub-dimension scores of PMSS in experimental and control group (p < 0.05). It was seen that PMSS total score of experimental group was significantly lower than that of control group (p < 0.001). When in-group comparisons were examined, it was identified that PMSS scores of control group did not change at the beginning and end of exercise, but PMSS score of experimental group at the end of exercise was lower than their score received at the beginning of exercise and, the difference was statistically significant to the highest degree (p < 0.001).
It was seen that the pilates exercises, which were practiced in this research, decreased the PMS symptoms considerably. In this regard, the pilates exercises have an important role in healing the PMS symptoms.
本研究旨在确定普拉提运动对经前期综合征症状的影响。
对伊斯坦布尔大学健康科学学院的经前期综合征大学生进行了准实验。
研究人群包括 286 名助产学生和 50 名经前期综合征学生（实验组 25 名，对照组 25 名）。采用非概率抽样方法。实验组学生被要求练习普拉提运动三个月，对照组学生则被要求保持日常习惯。三个月后，对实验组和对照组的经前期综合征问题进行诊断，并评估普拉提对经前期综合征的影响。经前期综合征症状通过经前期综合征量表（PMSS）进行评估。PMSS 得分越高表明症状越严重。
实验组和对照组学生在个人、健康和可能影响经前期综合征的方面相似（p>0.05）。实验组和对照组的 PMSS 总分和子维度得分之间没有统计学差异（p>0.05）。实验组的 PMSS 总分明显低于对照组（p<0.001）。组内比较发现，对照组的 PMSS 评分在运动前后没有变化，但实验组的 PMSS 评分在运动结束时低于运动开始时，差异具有统计学意义（p<0.001）。
本研究中进行的普拉提运动显著降低了经前期综合征症状。在这方面，普拉提运动在治疗经前期综合征症状方面发挥了重要作用。
