The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the pilates movement education program on development of flexibility and balance of the children at special education and rehabilitation centre. 28 Students (18 male + 10 female) participated to this study. The age of the students was between 8 and 16 years. Two groups were created for the research. The first group was the experimental group and consisted of 14 (9 male + 5 female) students. Second group was control group and consisted of 14 (9 male + 5 female) students. It was considered the age, gender, and physical appearance and IQ levels of the students when creating the groups. The research data analysed by SPSS 16.0 software. Pretest and Posttest comparisons, minimum and maximum values were tabulated. According to survey results, there is no significant improvement the flexibility of the control group and a significant improvement seen the flexibility (p<0,05) of the experimental group. There is also seen a significant improvement the balance (p<0,01) of both groups. As a result, it has been observed that pilates movement education program contributes to the physical characteristics and balance skills of the children with learning difficulties.

The Effect of an 8-Week Pilates Program on Performance Test Scores of Adolescents With Intellectual Disability2018 •
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of an 8-week program of selected Pilates exercises on the performance test scores of male adolescent students with mild (teachable) Intellectual Disability (ID). Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest and control group design. Study participants consisted of 30 individuals with ID. The study subjects were 10- to 15-yearold male students who were randomly selected by the convenience sampling method from the students of special schools in Parsabad City, Iran. The subjects were randomly assigned to the control (15 subjects) and experimental (15 subjects) groups. A set of tests were used as the performance test. The experimental group’s exercise program included Pilates exercises. The subjects performed the exercises for 8 weeks (3 sessions per week). The Independent t test and Paired t test were used to analyze the data. Results: In the experimental group, the results of this study revealed a significant difference in star excursion to extension (P=0.001), star excursion to abduction (P=0.004), vertical jump (P=0.001), 3 times single-leg jump (P=0.001), shuttle run (P=0.001), and stair sprints (P=0.003) after performing the exercises (P=0.05). However, there were no significant differences in star excursion to flexion (P=0.13) and single-leg jump (P=0.18) in the experimental group and the results of all tests in the control group (P≥0.05). Conclusion: Pilates exercises seem to improve the balance and function of lower limbs in individuals of the ID group.
Abstract Nowadays physical education classes at primary school level have as main objectives to develop motor skills. At early age some motor abilities are developed more easily than others, mobility and balance are one of those. Our study focuses on two groups at primary school level that we worked with. At first group (age between 8 and 10, n = 20), the experimental group, we worked on developing balance and mobility with different exercises that focused on those motor abilities, at second group (age between 8 and 10, n=22) we followed the rigid Romanian school program. As research method we used the observation method, experimental method and the statistical method. The results, at our specific mobility and balance tests, showed that using specific programs, the experimental group, developed more balance and mobility skills than the second group that followed only the rigid school program. Keywords: flexibility, mobility, balance, physical education, tests;
Background. Pilates program has taken the leading place among group recreational programs in the last year, and its development trend has been constantly increasing. Purpose. The aim of this research is to determine the impact of pilates programs on motor skills and morphological characteristics of women. Methods. The sample consisted of 50 women, aged 38 to 45 years old. Pilates program lasted 3 months or 24 training sessions of pilates. Variables that have been used to assess morphological characteristics are: height (AVIS), weight (ATEZ), chest circumference (AOGR), waist circumference (AOST), hip circumference (AOKU). For the assessment of motor abilities, five tests have been used: hull lifting on the bench for 30 s (MDZT), push ups (MSKL), deep squat for 30 s (MCUC), deep sit and reach (MPRK), shoulder circumduction test (MISP). Results. The greatest changes on morphological values and motor skills have been measured in the field of strength. There have not been measured significant differences in the flexibility tests. Conclusion. The question arises why there were no significant differences in the field of flexibility tests. The basic assumption is that inadequate tests were selected, and that the selected tests did not cover all the regions of the body.
The purpose of this research was the considering of the effect of six week mixed exercise (power & plyometric) of dynamic balance in Takhti school physical education students in Babol city. 60 male athlete students (physical education), without record of injury in lower organs, head & auricle disorders voluntarily participated in this research and randomly divided into two 15 individual groups (first group: power exercise; second group: plyometric exercise; third group: mixed exercise (power and plyometric) and forth group: control group). The day before the performing of the six weeks exercise program, dynamic balance of examined students measured by Star Excursion Balance test (SEBT). During the six weeks that exercise group did their special exercises, the control group was asked to keep their daily body exercises and their own exercise. The day after the exercise period finished, the dynamic balance of examined students measured. Descriptive statistics one variable variance analyzes and perspective Tukey test in meaning level α≤0/05 used for statistical analyze. The results showed that power exercise, plyometric and mixed, caused meaningful increasing of examined students success distance in all eight aspects of SEBT. According to the results of the research, the use of mixed exercise, plyometric and power (specially mixed exercises) is suggested in order to decrease the probability of injury and the improvement of athlete's dynamic balance. .

Research Paper The Effectiveness of Pilates Training on Cognitive Function, Mental Wellbeing, and Students' Hope for EducationPurpose: Students have important talents whose flourishing is a necessary and basic condition for the success and development of today's societies. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Pilates training on cognitive function, mental wellbeing, and students' hope for education. Methods: This study is a randomized clinical trial. A total of 30 male students in the sixth grade of elementary school, aged ≥11 years, were initially allocated to either a pilates group (n=15, who underwent a 16 week Pilates exercise program) or to a control group (n=15, who did not receive any intervention). The data collection tools were the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), the questionnaire of academic hope by Campbell and Cowen (2001), and the short form of mental wellbeing questionnaire by Ryff and Singer (2006). We performed the analysis of covariance for data analysis using SPSS software, version 21 at a significant level of 0.05. Results: Results of the analysis of covariance showed between-group differences for cognitive function (F 1, 27 =3.8, P=0.01), mental wellbeing (F 1, 27 =232.46, P=0.001), and hope for education (F 1, 27 =29.26, P=0.001). Therefore, Pilates training increased cognitive function, mental wellbeing, and hope for education in students. Conclusion: Pilates training significantly increases cognitive function, mental wellbeing, and hope for students' education. Therefore, it is suggested to use Pilates training for school students.
The aim of this paper was to examine the influence of Pilates exercises on the flexibility of women. The research was conducted on an adequate sample of women (n=60), aged 35-40, consisting of 38 participants who did Pilates exercises (the experimental group) and 22 participants who did no type of recreational activities (the control group) from the territory of Novi Sad. The experimental program of exercises called Pilates was conducted over a period of 6 months, twice a week. The flexibility of the participants was evaluated by implementing three motor tests: 1) the Flex with a bat for the evaluation of the dynamic flexibility of the shoulder; 2) the Seated hamstring stretch for the evaluation and monitoring of the flexibility of the posterior side of the thigh (m. semitendinosus, m. semimembranosus and m. biceps femoris) and the muscles of the lower leg (m. gastrocnemius and m. soleus); 3 the Standing hamstring stretch, for the stretching of the posterior side of the thigh (m. se...
