Background
Inactivity is a public health problem. Physical activity is beneficial at any age, but is even more critical in childhood for healthy development and growth. Objectives The purpose of this non-randomized controlled study was to investigate the effects of Pilates on posture and physical fitness parameters in 56 years old healthy children. Methods Four preschool classes were divided into two groups. Five-six years old 66 preschool children were assigned to the Pilates (n = 31) and control (n = 35) groups. The Pilates group received a Pilates program twice a week for 10 weeks. The control group continued their daily routines. Postural assessment was evaluated using the New York Posture Rating Chart test and physical fitness was evaluated with the Eurofit test battery. Children were blinded to assignment. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparisons between groups, and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test was used for within-group comparisons. Results In this study, within-group comparisons showed statistically significant improvements in the New York Posture Rating chart test (p Conclusion Pilates has positive effects on physical fitness parameters and postural evaluation in preschool children. This study suggests that Pilates can be an entertaining alternative physical activity in children aged 56 years. |
