Detailed Description

It is a fact that there are disadvantages as well as advantages brought by the development of technology. With this development, individuals adopt a more sedentary lifestyle and daily physical activity and mobility are gradually decreasing. These deficiencies have affected the child population as much as adults. This lack of physical activity in childhood negatively affects the child's growth, development, mood and school success, and increases the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood by preparing the ground for obesity.

The positive effects of physical activity on human health are multifaceted. Physical, mental, social and cognitive well-being is among its well-known benefits. Especially the physical activity and exercise habits gained in childhood contribute greatly to the mental, physical and emotional development of children.

The positive effects of the Pilates method on individuals' muscular strength and endurance, motor performance and body composition have been reported in many studies. Pilates exercise method is a suitable and reliable type of physical activity that can be done for children, and it has positive contributions to the growth, development and postural development of children .

Our aim in this study, which we will do with 7-11 age group primary school children, is to investigate the effects of regular physical activity and exercise, such as pilates, on both motor ability and body composition.

Our hypotheses in our study;

H1: Pilates exercises improve motor ability in primary school children. H2: Pilates exercises positively affect body composition in primary school children H3: Pilates exercises do not affect motor ability in primary school children. H4: Pilates exercises do not affect body composition in primary school children.

Pilates studies with healthy children are not common in our country. Therefore, our study is the first long-term planned (12 weeks 36 sessions) pilates study to be carried out with healthy children at primary school age.

Apart from this, when looking at the evaluation parameters, criteria such as pain, physical fitness, balance were frequently investigated with pilates.

Apart from these, motor ability tests and body composition analysis with a bioimpedance body analyzer will be evaluated in our study, and in this sense, it is one of the first pilates studies conducted with healthy children with these parameters.
