Effects of Pilates Combined With Diaphragmatic Breathing on Cardiopulmonary Markers in Sedentary Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether adding diaphragmatic breathing exercises to an eight-week supervised Pilates program improves pulmonary function, resting heart rate, and core endurance in sedentary women aged 35 years and older.
Participants were randomized to Pilates combined with diaphragmatic breathing or Pilates alone.
Both groups trained three times per week for eight weeks.

Descripción detallada
Participants were sedentary women aged 35 years and older who had not participated in regular structured exercise during the previous six months.
Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either Pilates combined with diaphragmatic breathing exercises or Pilates alone.
Both groups completed supervised exercise sessions three times per week for eight weeks.
Each session lasted approximately 60 minutes and included warm-up, main Pilates exercises, and cool-down.
The experimental group additionally performed structured diaphragmatic and abdominal breathing exercises integrated into the Pilates sessions.
Pulmonary function, cardiovascular parameters, functional performance, anthropometry, and echocardiographic safety parameters were assessed at baseline and after the intervention.

Experimental: Pilates Exercise Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise
Participants completed an eight-week supervised Pilates program combined with structured diaphragmatic and abdominal breathing exercises.
Sessions were performed three times per week and lasted approximately 60 minutes.
|
Participants completed a supervised mat-based Pilates exercise program three times per week for eight weeks.
Each session lasted approximately 60 minutes and included a warm-up phase, a main Pilates exercise component targeting core stability, flexibility, postural alignment, and muscular endurance, and a cool-down phase.
Participants performed structured diaphragmatic and abdominal breathing exercises integrated into the Pilates sessions.
The breathing protocol included slow nasal inhalation, controlled oral exhalation, abdominal expansion, segmental thoracic breathing, and guided breathing rhythm during selected Pilates exercises.

Comparador activo: Pilates Alone
Participants completed the same eight-week supervised Pilates program without specific diaphragmatic breathing instruction.
Sessions were performed three times per week and lasted approximately 60 minutes.
