Implication

Analysis reveals Pilates can improve body posture and flexibility, suggesting benefits for physically active individuals.

Key Points

  • Pilates classes significantly improve body posture and flexibility in physically active individuals, enhancing overall well-being.
  • Regular Pilates practice boosts dynamic balance, flexibility of tendons, and endurance of abdominal muscles, contributing to a better quality of life.
  • The analysis of published meta-analyses and systematic reviews highlighted Pilates' benefits, although it shows limited impact on body composition.
  • Lack of high-level methodological data limits recommendations for Pilates as an effective injury prevention method among high-level athletes.
