Key result
An acute Pilates program under hypoxic conditions significantly increased flow-mediated dilation and elicited greater metabolic and cardiac responses compared to normoxic conditions.
Why the study?
The study aimed to compare the effects of an acute Pilates program under hypoxic versus normoxic conditions on metabolic, cardiac, and vascular functions.

Does an acute Pilates program under hypoxic conditions improve vascular endothelial function compared to normoxic conditions in healthy female Pilates experts?
Acute Pilates exercise under hypoxic conditions elicits a greater improvement in vascular endothelial function and higher metabolic and cardiac responses compared to normoxic conditions.
Jung et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in Healthy (n=10). Pilates program under hypoxic conditions vs. Pilates program under normoxic conditions was evaluated on Flow-mediated dilation (FMD). An acute Pilates program under hypoxic conditions significantly increased flow-mediated dilation and elicited greater metabolic and cardiac responses compared to normoxic conditions.
