Wunda Chair vs Mat Pilates: Balance Effects
2026년 6월 15일 업데이트: Berivan Beril Kılıç, Biruni University
Comparison of the Acute Effects of Wunda Chair Pilates and Mat-Based Pilates Exercises on Balance in Healthy Women
The goal of this study is to compare the acute effects of Wunda Chair Pilates and mat-based Pilates exercises on balance performance in healthy adult women. It will also examine which type of Pilates exercise provides a more immediate improvement in balance. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Do Wunda Chair Pilates exercises lead to greater improvements in balance compared to mat-based Pilates after a single session? Are there differences between the two exercise approaches in terms of static balance, dynamic balance, and functional mobility?
Researchers will compare Wunda Chair Pilates with mat-based Pilates to determine which method is more effective in enhancing acute balance performance.
Participants will:
Be randomly assigned to either a Wunda Chair Pilates group or a mat-based Pilates group Perform a single 45-minute exercise session according to their assigned group Complete balance assessments (Single Leg Stance Test, Timed Up and Go Test, and Y-Balance Test) before and immediately after the exercise session

활성 비교기: Wunda Chair Pilates
|
Participants in the Chair exercise group will perform an instrument-based Pilates program designed to improve balance and core stability.
The exercises will be structured as 1 set of 12 repetitions and will include controlled movements against spring resistance, as well as positions involving loading on a narrow base of support.
The exercise session is expected to last approximately 35 minutes.
|
|
활성 비교기: Mat Based Pilates
|
Mat Pilates exercises are designed to improve balance control, core stability, and lower extremity muscle coordination.
The program consists of static and dynamic balance exercises performed on the mat, with emphasis on maintaining proper postural alignment and core activation throughout the exercises.
A BOSU device will be used in some of the exercises.

Dynamic Balance
기간: pre-invention and immediatelety after invention
|
The Y-Balance Test is a reliable and valid method for assessing dynamic balance and will be used in this study.
The YBT requires participants to maintain single-leg stance while reaching in three directions with the other leg: anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial.
The composite score is calculated by normalizing the sum of reach distances to lower limb length.
Leg length will be measured from the anterior superior iliac spine to the medial malleolus using a tape measure.
The YBT is widely used in the literature as a scientifically validated and reliable protocol for assessing dynamic balance capacity.
Each limb will be tested three times, and the average value will be recorded.
A 1-minute rest period will be provided between trials.

Static Balance
기간: pre-intervention and immediately after intevention
|
The Single Leg Stance Test is a simple and reliable method used to assess static balance performance.
During the test, participants stand on one leg with eyes open, and the time until loss of balance is recorded in seconds.
Performance is evaluated based on the maximum time the position can be maintained.
Measurements will be performed three times for each lower extremity, and the average value will be recorded.
The literature reports that this test has high reliability in healthy individuals and is a valid measure for static balance assessment.

Functional Mobility and Balance
기간: pre-intervention and immediately after intervention
|
The Timed Up and Go Test is a widely used clinical performance test designed to assess functional mobility, balance, walking speed, and dynamic postural control.
It is a quick and commonly preferred assessment tool in clinical practice.
The test includes functional movements required in daily life activities, such as sitting, standing up, walking, turning, and sitting down again.
The Timed Up and Go Test demonstrates high test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.87-0.99)
across different age groups and in individuals with musculoskeletal conditions.
It has also been reported to show strong correlations with other measures of functional balance and gait performance, and it is considered a valid and reliable assessment tool in both clinical and research settings.
