Brief Summary

Many studies on pilates have shown that these exercises positively affect the endurance of core muscles, mental health, and quality of life in healthy individuals when applied face-to-face. In a few recent studies, the effects of online pilates training have been examined and shown to be effective on core endurance, depression, and quality of life. In the results of these studies, it has been emphasized that it is necessary to compare whether online pilates training is as practical as face-to-face pilates training. For this reason, the investigators thought that randomized controlled studies investigating the effects of online and face-to-face pilates methods in healthy individuals are needed. The investigators planned a randomized controlled study investigating the impact of online pilates and face-to-face pilates methods. The study aims to examine and compare the effects of online pilates and face-to-face pilates methods on core muscle endurance, depression, and quality of life in healthy individuals.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Core muscle endurance- Baseline

  Mcgill core endurance tests

  Assessment will be conducted before the intervention

• Core muscle endurance- Post intervention

  Mcgill core endurance tests

  Assessment will be conducted immediately after the intervention

• Depression - Baseline

  Beck Depression Scale (BDI). The score range in BDI, which is a 21-item self-evaluation type scale, is 0-63.

  Assessment will be conducted before the intervention

• Depression - Post intervention

  Beck Depression Scale (BDI). The score range in BDI, which is a 21-item self-evaluation type scale, is 0-63.

  Assessment will be conducted immediately after the intervention

• Quality of life - Baseline

  Short Form-36 (SF-36). SF-36; consists of 36 items to measure eight dimensions such as physical, mental, and general health. In the subscales evaluated between 0 and 100, a high score indicates a good quality of life.

Online pilates group

EXPERIMENTAL

Online pilates, which lasts for eight weeks, three days a week for 1 hour, will be carried out by Australian Pilates and Physiotherapy Institute certified and experienced Ph.D. Physiotherapist Halil Ibrahim Bulguroglu. Microsoft Teams program will be used to implement the online practice method. The individuals in both pilates exercise groups will be divided into six small groups of 3 or 4 people to make the exercises more effective. In this study, the program will be 15 minutes of warm-up, 30 minutes of pilates, and 15 minutes of cool-down and stretching exercises. The exercises will be performed in ten repetitions. The same exercises will be applied in online pilates and face-to-face pilates trainings.

Face-to-face pilates group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Face-to-face pilates training, which lasts for a total of 8 weeks, 3 days a week for 1 hour, will be carried out by Australian Pilates and Physiotherapy Institute certified and experienced Ph.D. Physiotherapist Halil Ibrahim Bulguroglu. Face-to-face pilates training will be held at Ankara Medipol University. To make the exercises more effective, the individuals in both pilates exercise groups will be divided into six small groups of 3 or 4 people. In this study, the program will be 15 minutes of warm-up, 30 minutes of pilates exercises, 15 minutes of cool-down and stretching exercises, and the exercises will be performed as 10 repetitions. The same exercises will be applied in online pilates and face-to-face pilates trainings.

Interventions

Online and Face-to-face Pilates trainings OTHER

Key elements of Pilates, including breathing, focusing, rib cage position, shoulder position, and head and neck positions, will be taught in both groups on the first day. Individuals will be asked to maintain the smoothness of these critical elements throughout the exercises. Different imagery techniques will be used in the exercises, and the exercises will be combined with breathing exercises. The intensity of the exercises will be increased by using different positions and elastic bands (Theraband Elastic Band Hygienic Corporation, Akron, Ohio). Band Resistances will be increased in biweekly periods. Stretching and posture exercises will be used during the cool-down period. The subjects in pilates group will be informed about the side effects such as shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, and muscle pain. Participants will be asked to stop the exercise in case of any side effects.
