To evaluate the impact of eight weeks of Pilates Method on physical fitness and sleep quality of individuals with post-COVID-19 syndrome.
Randomized clinical trial blinded conducted with fifty-nine individuals with post-COVID-19 syndrome. The participants were randomly allocated to the Pilates group (PG; n = 20), supervised physical exercise group (SPEG; n = 20) and control group (CG; n = 19). The intervention occurred twice a week for eight weeks in a total of 16 sessions. The primary outcome was distance covered in the 6-min walk test and the secondary outcomes were the profile of the sample, post-exercise fatigue and sleep quality.
After the intervention, only the PG increased the distance covered in the 6-min walk test (p < 0.001; d = 0.762) and reduced the score on the modified BORG scale after exercise (p < 0.010; d = -0.835) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (p < 0.005; d = -0.699). Furthermore, the PG covered a greater distance compared to the SPEG in the 6-min walk test [95%CI (26.129-179.770); p < 0.010; d = 1.021] and exhibited a greater reduction in fatigue levels compared to the CG [95%CI (-2.352 to -0.162); p < 0.050; d = 0.919].

评估八周普拉提训练法对新冠后综合征患者身体素质和睡眠质量的影响。
对59名新冠后综合征患者进行随机双盲临床试验。参与者被随机分配到普拉提组(PG;n = 20)、有监督的体育锻炼组(SPEG;n = 20)和对照组(CG;n = 19)。干预为期八周,每周两次,共16节课程。主要结局指标为6分钟步行试验中的步行距离,次要结局指标为样本概况、运动后疲劳和睡眠质量。
干预后,只有普拉提组在6分钟步行试验中的步行距离增加(p < 0.001;d = 0.762),运动后改良BORG量表得分降低(p < 0.010;d = -0.835),匹兹堡睡眠质量指数降低(p < 0.005;d = -0.699)。此外,在6分钟步行试验中,普拉提组比有监督的体育锻炼组步行距离更远[95%CI(26.129 - 179.770);p < 0.010;d = 1.021],与对照组相比疲劳水平降低幅度更大[95%CI(-2.352至 -0.162);p < 0.050;d = 0.919]。
