EFFECTS OF REFORMER PILATES TRAINING
The Effects of Reformer Pilates Training on Sleep Quality and Mental and Physical Health Outcomes in Sedentary Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study investigated the effects of a 5-week Reformer Pilates exercise program on sleep quality, depression, anxiety, stress, and body mass index in 26 sedentary women. Participants completed 10 exercise sessions, with two sessions per week. Sleep quality and mental health were assessed before and after the intervention using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21. Following the program, significant improvements were observed in sleep quality, depression, stress, and body mass index. These findings suggest that Reformer Pilates may be a beneficial exercise approach for improving selected physical and psychological outcomes in sedentary women.

Description détaillée
Purpose: Pilates is a widely utilized exercise therapy modality aimed at improving physical fitness, body composition, and both physical and psychological well-being in healthy populations. The aim of this study was to comprehensively investigate the effects of a Reformer Pilates (RP) exercise program on levels of depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as on sleep quality and body mass index.
Methods: Twenty-six sedentary women participated in this study. Participants completed a RP exercise program consisting of 10 sessions over a 5-week period, with two sessions per week. Sleep quality and mental health status were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21), respectively. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from participants' height and body mass measurements. All outcome measures were assessed before the exercise program and immediately following its completion.
Keywords: Reformer pilates, sleep quality, depression, anxiety, stress, body mass index.

Expérimental: RP GRUP
Twenty-six sedentary women participated in this study . Participants completed a RP exercise program consisting of 10 sessions over a 5-week period, with two sessions per week. Sleep quality and mental health status were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21), respectively. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from participants' height and body mass measurements. All outcome measures were assessed before the exercise program and immediately following its completion. |
As part of the study, participants took part in a RP exercise programme scheduled for two days a week and comprising a total of 10 sessions. The exercise programme was structured in accordance with the principle of controlled progression, taking into account the participants' sedentary lifestyles. The sessions were conducted under the supervision of a qualified instructor with expertise in RP (SM); throughout the exercises, emphasis was placed on correct posture, breath control and movement integrity. Care was taken to ensure that all participants were subjected to the same exercise content and conditions throughout the programme. The exercise sessions were planned to include warm-up, the main exercise programme and cool-down phases. The exercise programme was implemented systematically, taking into account the principles of weekly periodisation. |
