Functional deficits of the person are detected by 7 different movements (Cook, Burton and Hoogenboom 2006a, Cook, Burton and Hoogenboom 2006b). In a single study they compared in the literature that assessed the effect of Pilates exercises on functional movement, this activity was explored on recreational runners (Laws, Williams and Wilson 2017). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 12-week pilates group exercise training on functional movement scores in sedentary women.
