The Pilates exercise method is applied online to various population groups. This study aimed to determine the effect of online Pilates exercises on depression, anxiety, and fear of childbirth in pregnant women. Our randomized controlled study divided participants into the online pilates group (OPG) and the control group (CG). Pilates exercises were applied to the OPG according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines, while the CG was given a home program. Assessments were made before and after the training. All measurements improved after Online Pilates (p < 0.05), while there was no change in the control group (p > 0.05). While initial measurement values were similar in both groups (p > 0.05), a statistical difference was observed in favor of OPG with a moderate effect percentage in all results after training (p < 0.05). These results revealed that eight weeks of online Pilates training could effectively reduce depression, anxiety, and fear of childbirth.Trial registration:Clinical trial registry: NCT05305716.
普拉提运动方法被应用于各种人群的线上训练。本研究旨在探讨线上普拉提运动对孕妇抑郁、焦虑和分娩恐惧的影响。我们的随机对照研究将参与者分为线上普拉提组（OPG）和对照组（CG）。根据美国妇产科医师学会的指南，对 OPG 进行普拉提运动，而 CG 则接受家庭方案。在训练前后进行评估。所有测量值在接受线上普拉提后均有所改善（p<0.05），而对照组则没有变化（p>0.05）。虽然两组的初始测量值相似（p>0.05），但在训练后的所有结果中，OPG 均显示出统计学上的优势，具有中等的效应百分比（p<0.05）。这些结果表明，八周的线上普拉提训练可以有效减轻抑郁、焦虑和分娩恐惧。试验注册：临床试验注册：NCT05305716。
