The Pilates method, developed by Joseph Pilates (1886-1967), has been widely used to improve trunk stability, muscle flexibility and strength, physical fitness, and body awareness. To measure the electromyography of four trunk muscles during three Pilates exercises carried out of the wunda chair. DESING: cross-section study.
Sixteen women participated in this study with a height and body weight of 1.64 ± 0.04 m and 58.7 ± 7.4 kg, respectively, and a mean age of 27.6 ± 3.7 years. Rectus abdominis (RA), internal oblique (IO), longissimus (LO), and multifidus (MU) muscles was evaluated by electromyographic (EMG) tests activity during three Pilates exercises: going up front (GF), mountain climb (MC), and swan (SW). EMG was normalized and expressed in the time domain, by the RMS.
The highest EMG values concerning the four muscles were observed for the MC exercise, followed by GF and SW (ANOVA: p = 0.0001, p = 0.04, p = 0.0002, and p = 0.0013, respectively). Our results show that the three Pilates exercises could recruit all the muscles, with a moderate activity intensity. The ANOVA; p < 0.05 showed significant difference between the muscles, concerning SW (p = 0.0002).

约瑟夫·皮拉提斯（Joseph Pilates，1886-1967 年）创立的普拉提方法已被广泛用于改善躯干稳定性、肌肉柔韧性和力量、身体素质和身体意识。本研究旨在测量从万能椅上进行的三种普拉提练习中，四个躯干肌肉的肌电图。设计：横断面研究。
16 名女性参与了这项研究，她们的身高和体重分别为 1.64±0.04m 和 58.7±7.4kg，平均年龄为 27.6±3.7 岁。通过肌电图（EMG）测试评估腹直肌（RA）、内斜肌（IO）、最长肌（LO）和多裂肌（MU）的活动。EMG 以 RMS 在时域中进行归一化和表示。
在四个肌肉中，MC 运动的 EMG 值最高，其次是 GF 和 SW（ANOVA：p=0.0001，p=0.04，p=0.0002，p=0.0013，分别）。我们的结果表明，三种普拉提练习可以募集所有肌肉，活动强度适中。ANOVA；p<0.05 显示，SW 之间的肌肉存在显著差异（p=0.0002）。
