Gedetailleerde beschrijving
After childbirth, many women find it hard to lose the extra weight they gained during pregnancy. This weight can affect their health, self-esteem, and ability to stay active. Regular exercise is a safe and natural way to help lose weight and improve fitness during the postpartum period. Two popular forms of exercise are Pilates and moderate-intensity aerobic exercises (like brisk walking or cycling).
This study aims to find out which type of exercise-Pilates or aerobic exercise- is more helpful for postpartum women in reducing body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and waist-to-hip ratio over a period of 8 weeks. To do this, women will be randomly divided into two groups. One group will do Pilates exercises, and the other group will do aerobic exercises. Both groups will exercise three times a week for about 45-60 minutes each session. At the end of 8 weeks, the results will be compared to see which type of exercise is more effective.

Experimenteel: Group A - Pilates Group
Type of Exercise: Mat-based Pilates focusing on core stability, breathing control, flexibility, and pelvic floor strengthening
|
Pilates Group Type of Exercise: Mat-based Pilates focusing on core stability, breathing control, flexibility, and pelvic floor strengthening.
Structure: Warm-up (10 mins): Light mobility and breathing exercises; Main Session (30-40 mins): Pelvic tilts, bridging, leg stretches, roll-ups, side-lying series; Focus on posture, controlled movement, and core engagement; Cool-down (5-10 mins): Gentle stretching and relaxation.
Progression: Gradual increase in intensity and complexity over 8 weeks.
Supervision: Sessions led by a trained physiotherapist or certified Pilates instructor.

Primaire uitkomstmaten
Uitkomstmaat |
Maatregel Beschrijving |
Tijdsspanne |
|---|---|---|
|
Weight (kilograms) - measured using a calibrated weighing scale
Tijdsspanne: 8 weeks
|
Measured with a calibrated digital weighing scale.
Participants will be weighed barefoot, wearing light clothing, after emptying their bladder.
Reliable if calibrated regularly and used under standardized conditions (same scale, same time of day, light clothing, after voiding).
Test-retest reliability > 0.97.
Highly valid for measuring body weight; directly measures mass in kilogram.
The scale's accuracy is typically within 0.1 kg.
|
8 weeks
|
|
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Tijdsspanne: 8 weeks
|
Calculated by dividing weight (kg) by the square of height (m) (BMI = weight/height²).
Height will be measured once at baseline with a stadiometer.
Reliable when the procedure is standardized (barefoot, standing straight, head in Frankfort plane).
Intra-observer reliability > 0.95.
Valid anthropometric tool; stadiometers accurately reflect true stature when calibrated.
|
8 weeks
|
|
Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR)
Tijdsspanne: 8 weeks
|
Calculated by dividing Waist by Hip (WHR = Waist cm / Hip cm).
Reliable if both waist and hip are measured accurately with the same procedure.
WHR is a well validated indicator of body-fat distribution and health-risk; a higher WHR is strongly associated with metabolic disorders
