Summary

This study will measure how much energy older adults use during mat and equipment-based Pilates sessions. Twenty men and women aged 60+ with Pilates experience will complete both types of Pilates and treadmill walking. Researchers will track calories burned, heart rate, and perceived effort to see how Pilates compares to moderate-intensity walking.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Pilates exercises (mat and equipment-based)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help exercise professionals prescribe Pilates more precisely for weight management and heart health in older adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants. Results may not apply to all older adults, and the study does not test long-term health outcomes.
