Summary

This study compares healthy women aged 20-45 who have done Pilates for at least 6 months with those who are sedentary. Researchers will measure core muscle control, endurance, balance, and flexibility using simple physical tests. The goal is to see if regular Pilates leads to better physical performance than a non-active lifestyle.
