Interventions
This study is characterized as a single-blind randomized clinical trial (blinded evaluation and statistics). The included volunteers were randomly separated into two parallel groups: an intervention g
s Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) was used, with an ideal score of 9 to 11 at the beginning and end (light), and 11 to 15 during the main part of the class (moderate). The exercises were divided in

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: To investigate whether Mat Pilates practice is effective in reducing the severity of insomnia, achieving values ??below the cutoff point of 15 on the Insomnia Severity Index, and improving sleep quality and daytime sleepiness with a significant difference compared to the control group.;Outcome found 1: A reduction in the Insomnia Severity score of -6.5 points was observed in the Pilates group compared to the Control group, which was -3.3, with a statistical significance of p = 0.001. Sleep quality decreased by -3.6 in the Pilates group and by -0.5 in the Control group, with a significance of p = 0.000. Sleepiness decreased by -3.1 in the Pilates group and by +1.1 in the Control group with p = 0.004. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 2: Significant reduction in menopausal symptoms and improvement in mental state (stress, anxiety, and depression) in the Pilates group when compared to the control group.;Outcome found 2: There was a significant reduction (p<0.05) in menopausal symptoms, being -3.1 in somatic symptoms, -3.2 in psychological symptoms and -1.7 in urogenital symptoms; and improvement in mental state (reduction of -6.2 in the Stress score, -4.4 in the anxiety score and -6.2 in the depression score) in the Pilates group when compared to the Control group.;Expected outcome 3: To analyze whether there is a significant improvement in the repercussions on cardiovascular risk predictors after the interventions, through blood pressure, heart rate, body mass index (BMI), body mass of muscle and fat, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), neck, waist, hip and abdominal circumferences.;Outcome found 3: No significant changes (p<0.05) were found in the variables related to cardiovascular risk predictors after the Mat Pilates intervention; these are blood pressure, heart rate, body mass index (BMI), body mass of muscle and fat, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), neck, waist, hip and abdominal circumferences, and physical fitness as measured by the 6-minute walk test.;Expected outcome 4: Significant improvement in cognition, memory, executive function, and attention in the Pilates group compared to the Control group.; Outcome found 4: No significant changes (p<0.05) were found in cognition, memory, executive function, and attention in the Pilates group compared to the Control group. | — |
