Interventions
Ninety participants will be randomly assigned to three groups: 30 subjects for the Pilates Method Group
30 for the Coordinative Motor Circuits Group and 30 for the Control Group. The Pilates Method Group will receive Pilates training with gradual control of the difficulty, intensity, and sequence of exe

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary 1. Integrals of the EMG activity of the 8 muscles evaluated through a predictable perturbation, showed a significant effect for the group (Pilates and Control) x season interaction (APA1, APA2, APC1, APC2) was observed for the rectus abdominis, erector spinae , external oblique, gluteus medius and tibialis anterior. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary 2. When evaluating the performance in the model motor circuit, no effect was found in the moments, moment x group interaction for the variables of total time and fluidity when comparing the coordinative approach group in circuits with the control group.;Secondary 3. When comparing the coordinative approach group in circuits and the control group, it was not possible to observe an effect in the moments and in the moment x group interaction, however, there was an effect in the groups in the IAFG variable of the Senior Fitness Test battery.;Secondary 4. The activation order of both groups (Pilates and control) followed the following order of recruitment: erector spinae, tibialis anterior, medial gastrocnemius, rectus femoris, biceps femoris, gluteus medius and rectus abdominis. | — |
