Summary

This study looked at whether doing Reformer Pilates for 8 weeks (twice a week, 50 minutes each) helps sedentary women improve their physical fitness, balance, and quality of life. A total of 57 women who did not exercise regularly took part. Half did Pilates, and the other half continued their normal routine. The results showed that the Pilates group had better functional capacity, balance, and muscular endurance compared to the control group.
