Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the effect of exercise program based on Pilates method on biochemical markers of bone turnover in older women. They measured two types of bone turnover markers: the BSAP (reference value: 5.2 -24.4 ng / ml), reflecting bone formation, and CTx (reference value: 0.104 - 1,008ng / ml) , which reflects the bone resorption both analyzed for its concentration in serum.;Serum CTX were not different between the groups, both before (p = 0.991) and after PEBMP (p = 1.000). There was also no significant difference between the two moments, both in the control group (p = 0.996) and in Pilates (p = 1.000). The serum levels of BSAP were not different between the two groups, both before (p = 0.999) and after (p = 0.658) of PEBMP. There was also no significant difference between both times, both in the control group (p = 0.883) and in Pilates (p = 0.992). | — |

|---|---|
| Evaluate in a group of elderly women, the effects of a physical exercises program, based on the Pilates method, based on functional capacity, represented by flexibility and equilibrium on the quality of life. Functional capacity was evaluated using flexibility tests (sit and reach) and balance (Berg test). Quality of life (QOL) was assessed by applying the Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36 Health Survey.;After PEBMP, Pilates group showed better balance than the control (p 0.05). The Pilates group showed statistically significant increased flexibility after performing the exercise program (p = 0.0027), which did not occur with the control group (p> 0.05). After PEBMP, Pilates, and the control groups were significantly different for flexibility (p = 0.001). Regarding the SF-36 questionnaire, the Control and Pilates groups did not differ regarding the functional ability to score, prior to the PEBMP (p> 0.05). After the program, the Pilates group had better scores than the control (p = 0.0003) and a significant improvement in functional capacity compared to before the PEBMP (p = 0.0232). As for the physical, emotional and vitality after PEBMP, Pilates group had higher scores than the control (p = 0.0009, p = 0.0046 and p = 0.0110, respectively). As for the emotional evaluation, after PEBMP, Pilates group had higher scores than the control (p = 0.0111). Regarding the functional and complete assessments, the Pilates group showed improvement score (p = 0.0220 and p = 0.0171, respectively) after PEBMP, and at that time, higher score than the control group (p <0.0001 and p = 0.0001, respectively). There were no other statistically significant differences between groups or between the evaluated times. | — |
