Summary

This study looked at whether doing Pilates two or three days per week makes a difference in how well women with overweight or obesity can move, balance, and feel day-to-day. Fifty-one women were randomly assigned to either 12 weeks of Pilates three times a week or 18 weeks of Pilates twice a week, both totaling 36 sessions. Researchers measured walking speed, balance, and quality of life to see which schedule worked better.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pilates exercise
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a less frequent Pilates schedule works just as well for improving daily movement and quality of life in women with overweight or obesity.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 51 participants. Results may not apply to all women, and exercise programs can be hard to stick with long-term.
