Introduction Pilates has been shown to be effective for increasing muscle strength in older adults, however, some variables have not yet been explored. Objective Investigate the effects of Pilates on the isokinetic muscular strength of the knee extensors and flexors at 60°/s, in elderly women. Method Thirty-two women were randomized into two groups: control group (CG, n = 16, age = 64.2 + 0.8 years; BMI = 25.0 + 1.2 kg/m2), and experimental group (EG, n = 16, age = 63.6 + 1.0 years, BMI = 24.7 + 1.3 kg/m2). Isokinetic evaluation of the knee extensor and flexor muscles was performed at 60°/s, pre- and post-intervention, considering the peak torque (N.m) and total work (J) for the right and left lower limbs. The CG participated in static stretching and the EG in Pilates sessions, twice a week for 12 weeks. Results The results demonstrated that the EG presented a significant improvement (p Conclusion The results indicated that 12 weeks of Pilates increases the isokinetic muscular strength of the knee extensors and flexors in elderly women and can be considered for this purpose when prescribing physical exercise programs. |
