This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Eutony, Holistic Gymnastics, and Pilates on hamstring flexibility and back pain in pre-adolescent girls.
This randomized prospective quantitative clinical trial compared the effects of Eutony, Holistic Gymnastics, and Pilates on hamstring flexibility and back pain. The sample consisted of 80 pre-adolescent girls aged 10-13 years and divided into three groups: Eutony, with 26 girls; Holistic Gymnastics, 27 girls; and Pilates, 27 girls. The participants underwent ten 1-h weekly interventions. Hamstring flexibility was evaluated using fingertip-to-floor, sit-and-reach, and hip angle tests; back pain was evaluated using the Body Posture Evaluation Instrument questionnaire and the way they carried their backpack by the Layout for Assessing Dynamic Posture. Descriptive statistical analysis, analysis of variance, and Kruskal-Wallis test were performed at a 5 % significance level (p < 0.05).
The three body practices increased hamstring flexibility in all fingertip-to-floor (7.77 cm), hip angle (5.58°), and sit-and-reach evaluations (9.07 cm). Before the intervention, 66.25 % of participants complained of back pain. After the intervention, only 37.50 % continued with the complaint. Moreover, 25 % of pre-adolescent girls started to carry their school backpack correctly.
Eutony, Holistic Gymnastics, and Pilates increased hamstring flexibility, reduced back pain complaints, and incentivized the girls to carry the school backpack correctly.

本研究旨在评估 Eutony、整体体操和 Pilates 对青春期前女孩腘绳肌柔韧性和背痛的影响。
这是一项随机前瞻性定量临床试验，比较了 Eutony、整体体操和 Pilates 对腘绳肌柔韧性和背痛的影响。样本由 80 名 10-13 岁的青春期前女孩组成，分为三组：Eutony 组 26 名女孩；整体体操组 27 名女孩；Pilates 组 27 名女孩。参与者接受了十次每周 1 小时的干预。腘绳肌柔韧性通过指尖到地板、坐立触及和髋关节角度测试进行评估；背痛通过身体姿势评估工具问卷和背包携带方式进行评估。采用描述性统计分析、方差分析和 Kruskal-Wallis 检验，显著性水平为 5%（p<0.05）。
三种身体练习均增加了所有指尖到地板（7.77cm）、髋关节角度（5.58°）和坐立触及（9.07cm）的腘绳肌柔韧性。干预前，66.25%的参与者抱怨背痛。干预后，只有 37.50%的人继续抱怨。此外，25%的青春期前女孩开始正确携带书包。
Eutony、整体体操和 Pilates 增加了腘绳肌柔韧性，减少了背痛的抱怨，并鼓励女孩正确携带书包。
