| To assess respiratory muscle strength, it was expected to find a score above 53cmH2O for Maximum Inspiratory Pressure and a score above 74cmH2O for Maximum Expiratory Pressure, using the manovacuometer, after 18 weeks of training with exercises of the Pilates Method of soil. There was a significant difference (p = 0.016) in the Maximum Inspiratory Pressure between the pre 53.26cmH2O and the post 67.42cmH2O. The same was found in Maximum Expiratory Pressure, which also increased significantly after intervention (p = 0.005), initially the value was 70.89cmH2O and after training 94.42cmH2O.;To evaluate the functional capacity, through the 6-minute walk test, after 18 weeks of training with exercises of the Pilates Method of soil. It was expected to find a distance covered above 435 meters and Pico VO2 max above 17.04%. It was observed that there was a significant increase (p = 0.002) in the distance covered, which initially was 435.32 meters and after the intervention period, 489.95 meters. | — |
